Legal expertise meets environmental activism in this revealing discussion about fighting back against anti-environmental policies through strategic litigation and state-level action.

The land we now call Scripps Oceanography has been home to the Kumeyaay people for thousands of years. A history of encroachment, colonization and displacement from coastal lands has challenged Kumeyaay ocean traditions and practices. Today, Kumeyaay-Iipay-Tipay people are actively revitalizing Indigenous ocean culture. As part of Perspectives on Ocean Science Lecture Series, Stan Rodriguez and Priscilla Ortiz Sawah of the Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel, and Andrew James Pittman of the Los Coyotes Band and Cupeño Indians, talk about the history of the Kumeyaay culture in the region. Through community efforts, they are rebuilding traditional ha kwaiyo (tule boats), harvesting ha shupill (grunion) and teaching language about the ocean (ha silowik). These intergenerational practices embody Indigenous resilience, resistance and revival — nurturing and evolving Indigenous ocean knowledge, culture and traditions. Series: "Jeffrey B.

What happens when the ocean - which covers over 70% of the planet - reaches its breaking point?

Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin) and BioAtlantis have announced the launch of an innovative new research initiative, VASEACAD (Valorising Seafood Side Streams, Residues, Unwanted Catches and Discards). The project is funded under the EU-SBEP-2 Call (Second Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership) and is supported by the Marine Institute. With a total funding award of €1.6 million, including €299,525 granted to TU Dublin, the VASEACAD project brings together a consortium of 10 partners from across the EU. The project aims to transform fish processing by-products (materials that are typically discarded), into bioactive protein hydrolysates and other high value biomolecules through state-of-the-art bioprocessing techniques. The goal is to create functional and sustainable ingredients for commercial use, supporting a circular and resource-efficient bioeconomy. Leading the research at TU Dublin is Dr Azza Silotry Naik, Principal Investigator, lecturer and expert in food biotechnology and marine byproduct valorisation who stated: 'This project represents an exciting opportunity to develop sustainable solutions for marine by-products by leveraging bioprocessing to create ingredients with functional and commercial potential. I'm proud to collaborate with BioAtlantis and grateful to the Marine Institute for recognising the importance of this work in supporting both sustainability and innovation' Dr Naik brings substantial expertise to the initiative, having previously worked on several EU and nationally funded marine research projects, and led the development of functional ingredients in both academic and commercial R&D environments. Headquartered in County Kerry, BioAtlantis is a pioneering biotech company specialising in bioactives derived from marine and terrestrial sources. It is home to the largest seaweed extraction facility in Ireland and Britian and has a long track record of collaborating with academic institutions. Discussing the partnership, John T. O'Sullivan, CEO of BioAtlantis said: 'BioAtlantis is delighted to partner with Technological University Dublin in the VASEACAD project, focusing on converting fish by-products into valuable ingredients utilising bioprocessing techniques for different market segments.

Forget everything you think you know about viruses. In the ocean, there are viral giants so large they were mistaken for bacteria for decades – and they're rewriting the rules of marine ecology.Join us as we explore the fascinating world of giant viruses with Benjamin Minch, a PhD student at the University of Miami who has discovered over 230 previously unknown viral genomes using a revolutionary computational tool called BEREN. These microscopic monsters can hijack photosynthesis, manipulate their hosts like puppet masters, and dramatically reshape ocean food webs.Giant viruses are up to 100 times larger than common viruses, with genomes rivaling those of bacteria. Some enhance their hosts' superpowers – boosting photosynthesis and metabolism – before turning infected cells into viral factories. Others cause victims to clump together and sink as marine snow, playing crucial roles in carbon sequestration and climate regulation.From the Baltic Sea's viral treasure trove to practical applications like predicting harmful algal blooms, this episode explores how invisible giants influence everything from ocean food webs to global nutrient cycles. Discover why the ocean's biggest players might also be its smallest.Links:BEREN tool: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.10.09.617401v1Ben's research publications: https://idsc.miami.edu/pegasus-powered-giant-virus-study-yields-publicly-shared-bioinformatics-tool/

Shark communication is critical in changing their "man-eating" reputation from the movie Jaws. Sharks need protection so telling people about the wonders of sharks is essential. Marine biology is more than just a job — it's a lifestyle driven by passion and purpose. In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean, host Andrew Lewin speaks with marine biologist Kenzie Horton, who shares how her love for the ocean shaped her career. Based in Florida, Kenzie juggles a full-time role in state government, a master's degree researching white sharks, and a growing platform on TikTok where she busts marine science myths and offers ocean safety tips. Ocean science communication is at the heart of Kenzie's mission. She uses humor, storytelling, and relatable advice to connect with a broad audience online — from what swimsuits not to wear in the ocean to real shark science. If you're curious about how to blend marine conservation with viral content or want to know how to break into the field of marine biology, this episode is a must-listen.  

Host Dave Schlom is joined by guests from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of San Diego to profile the ocean science being done at one of the world's most important and historic places to study our blue planet.

Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing threats to our oceans today. In this episode, we explore how microplastics—tiny fragments of plastic waste—make their way into tropical marine ecosystems and cause lasting damage. Whether it's through broken-down consumer products or fishing gear, plastic pollution infiltrates ocean habitats and harms marine life in ways we're just beginning to understand. Coral reefs, often called the rainforests of the sea, are especially vulnerable to plastic pollution. These vital ecosystems support biodiversity, protect coastlines, and sustain livelihoods. Dr. Lisa Rodrigues, a professor at Villanova University, shares her research on how microplastics impact coral health, disrupt growth, and even contribute to disease in reef systems. Plastics can also alter water quality and affect the delicate balance that coral reefs depend on to thrive. Marine debris isn't just unsightly—it's a serious ecological problem. From lionfish to tiny plankton, organisms across the food chain are ingesting plastics or suffering from habitat degradation. Dr. Rodrigues explains how even pristine-looking beaches can hide layers of microplastics beneath the surface. We also discuss how citizen science, beach cleanups, and community involvement play key roles in fighting plastic waste in coastal areas. Ocean conservation efforts must include tackling plastic pollution at its source. In this episode, we talk about the role of environmental policy, education, and innovation in reducing marine plastic waste. Whether you're an activist, student, diver, or beach lover, there are actionable ways you can help protect coral reefs and reduce the plastic footprint in our oceans.   Follow a career in conservation: https://www.conservation-careers.com/online-training/ Use the code SUFB to get 33% off courses and the careers program.   Do you want to join my Ocean Community?

Ocean Scientist Dr. Deborah Brosnan leads us on an exploration in the latest climate science information related to the world ocean, outlining the implications of current trends and forecasts on ocean health. Recorded live at the Hub Culture Icon, Davos, Switzerland.

Professor Lucy Blue speaks to Dr Athena Trakadas, Co-founder and Co-Chair of the Ocean Decade Heritage Network (ODHN) about the role of cultural heritage within the United Nation's Ocean Decade, as part of our mini-series on climate change and its impact on marine and coastal heritage. Hear how the Ocean Decade endeavours to bring marine cultural heritage experts together with the other ocean scientists.  Sitting within the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-30), is an initiative of housed in the UN's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC), and aims was set up to meet the goals of sustainable development, particularly goal STG SDG 14 – life under water - as part of the UN's 2030 Agenda. Whilst the value of cultural heritage might be intuitive to heritage practitioners working with communities that live on the sea, it was more difficult to demonstrate to others in the oceanographic sciences the necessity of addressing heritage.  However, the inclusion of cultural heritage in the discussions expanded the number of societal outcomes of the Ocean Decade, and participation in conferences and policy forums has helped bring visibility to cultural heritage at the inter-governmental and national levels.  Nonetheless, changes in policy and governance are still needed to create a more integrated, holistic, and sustainable approach, and working to change minds remains the biggest challenge! The hope is that the UN Ocean Decade will change perspectives and bring about the ‘Ocean We Want' inclusive of cultural heritage. 

Undeterred by world events, Danielle Dillman pursued her goal of becoming a certified diver.

Oceanographer Kristen Davis, an authority on ocean physics and climate sustainability, discusses the growing excitement around seaweed and kelp as tools to combat climate change. Like trees on land, these underwater plants use photosynthesis to absorb carbon dioxide and convert it into organic matter. When they die, some of that carbon may sink to the ocean depths. However, the science is still evolving and there's a lot we don't yet understand about how seaweed farming might impact carbon sequestration.

Flexens, Lhyfe and Stockholm University published the full report on the 'BOxHy' project launched in October 2023. Its conclusions outline the 'BOxIn' offshore oxygen injection pilot project, which will be announced in a few months' time and is expected to last around 6 years. The partners also welcome the growing interest among scientists, industry and institutions in the major issue of ocean "asphyxiation" (deoxygenation) and the option of reoxygenation, with the prominent example of the United Nations, which endorsed this project as part of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021-2030 until October 2024. The 'deoxygenation' of the oceans is a growing global phenomenon that is impacting humankind All around the world, the oceans have been reportedly losing oxygen since the 1950s, caused by global warming and water pollution. On one hand, global warming is increasing the surface temperature of the water, thereby altering the concentration of oxygen in the water, altering the stratification and marine currents (their routes and properties). On the other hand, the nutrients discharged into the coastal environment through run-off from land (coming notably through fertilisers or wastewater) generate excessive algal blooms. As bacteria break down algae and consume oxygen, an increase in algae leads to more oxygen being used by the bacteria - this process is called eutrophication. When there is no longer enough oxygen, the bacteria start to mobilize substances, such as phosphorus, formerly stored in the sediment, which helps to feed new algae. This vicious circle depletes the oxygen content, which at a certain point is no longer sufficient to sustain underwater life. Oxygen is necessary for underwater life, and in particular, for the fish that feed us. As well as underlining the urgent need to drastically limit CO2 emissions and nutrient pollution in order to counteract deoxygenation, Lhyfe, Flexens and the University of Stockholm stress the importance of exploring, in parallel, the possibility of restoring it. Among the possible solutions, the reinjection of oxygen into these deoxygenated dead sea regions is now being studied. This project, aiming to reoxygenate the oceans by producing hydrogen at sea, is ambitious. It aims to take advantage of the future offshore hydrogen production sites built by Lhyfe in conjunction with offshore wind farms to provide a service to the environment. Lhyfe is building sites both on land and at sea, such as the HOPE project scheduled for 2026. When hydrogen is produced by electrolysis of water, the water molecule is split in to hydrogen and oxygen. The manufacturer proposes to make this oxygen available to the ocean. Work on reoxygenation must be carried out using a scrupulously strategic and scientific methodology, and over a long period of time, at the risk of further destabilising ecosystems, which is why the BOxHy project has been carried out by a consortium originating from industry and science in a collaborative manner. A methodology to define the contours of an oxygen injection pilot project The report published by Flexens, Lhyfe and Stockholm University details the results of the BOxHy project, which involved assessing the feasibility of injecting oxygen to combat hypoxia and anoxia in the Baltic Sea, evaluating suitable coastal locations for setting up the small scale pilot project, and defining in what quantities, at which depth, how to proceed, and so on. Thanks to a detailed survey, 19 coastal sites in the Baltic Sea were studied and 3 were identified as potentially suitable for a pure oxygen injection pilot project. Around ten criteria were taken into account in selecting these sites: the presence of anoxia, a pre-existing observation programme, the possibility of installing the pilot infrastructure, an existing high-resolution bathymetry (measurement of marine depths), the assessment of the local socio-economic situation, applicable regulations, human presen...

In this episode of the "How to Protect the Ocean" podcast, host Andrew Luen discusses a remarkable predation event that occurred in 2014 in the Barents Sea off the coast of Norway. During this event, approximately 2 million Atlantic cod consumed around 10 million capelin, which is nearly 50% of the capelin population present at the time. The episode highlights how this massive predation event was observed using advanced technology, specifically the Ocean Acoustic Waveguide Remote Sensing System (O-A-W-R-S). This system allowed scientists from MIT and Norway to detect and analyze the behavior of the fish during the capelin's spawning season. As the capelin swam deeper to avoid sunlight, they formed a large bait ball, which measured about 10 kilometers long and contained around 23 million fish. The podcast emphasizes the significance of this event as it represents one of the largest predation interactions ever recorded. The coordinated attack by the cod and the formation of the bait ball illustrate the complex dynamics of predator-prey relationships in marine ecosystems. Additionally, Andrew discusses concerns regarding the impact of climate change on these fish populations and their spawning behaviors. He raises questions about the sustainability of such large predation events in the future, considering the potential effects of environmental changes on both capelin and cod populations. The episode concludes with a call for listeners to engage in discussions about ocean conservation and share their thoughts on this fascinating topic.

Complex compositions made up of groans, moans, sighs, roars, and high-pitched squeals that can last for hours - The songs of whales are both beautiful and haunting. Humans have had a particular fascination with the sounds of cetaceans and the possible meanings behind it since Roger Payne, a marine biologist, first noticed the complex sonic arrangement of humpback whale sounds during a research expedition to Bermuda in 1967 But what if we could translate what they were saying? Really understand what the different clicks and codas actually mean? On this episode we're going to chat with the Cetacean Translation Initiative, also known as CETI, who is revolutionizing the latest advancements in cetacean research and discuss the potential implications of breaking the language barrier between humans and whales. Guests: - Geovanni Petri - Professor of network science at the Network Science Institute of Northeastern University and principal of research at project CETI - Shane Garrow - A scientist in residence at Ottawa's Carlton University and the biology lead for project CETI
