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.

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. Davis shares insights into the ongoing research and its promise on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast with host Russ Altman.Have a question for Russ?

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.

In this episode of the "How to Protect the Ocean" podcast, host Andrew Lu discusses the importance of finding and building a community focused on ocean conservation. He reflects on his own experiences and the recurring theme of community in his life and work. Andrew emphasizes that being part of a community can provide support, motivation, and a sense of purpose, especially when facing environmental challenges. He shares his journey as a marine biologist in Ontario, Canada, and how he has sought to connect with like-minded individuals who are passionate about ocean conservation. He highlights a recent gathering with colleagues to establish an Ontario Ocean Group, where they can collaborate on projects and discuss solutions to pressing ocean issues. Andrew also references organizations like Surfrider, which have successfully built networks of volunteers and chapters that empower individuals to take action in their local areas. The episode encourages listeners to seek out their own communities, whether through established organizations or local initiatives, to amplify their impact on ocean conservation. Andrew concludes by inviting listeners to share their experiences and thoughts on finding community in conservation efforts.

How can geo-data become a game-changer in our fight against climate change? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Robert Hoddenbach, Global Director for Climate and Nature at Fugro, the world's leading geo-data specialist. With over 20 years of experience in geospatial and marine environments, Robert offers a deep dive into the critical role geo-data plays in understanding and mitigating the impacts of climate change, particularly in our oceans. Despite covering 70% of the Earth's surface, only 25% of the ocean has been mapped, leaving a vast knowledge gap in one of the planet's most crucial ecosystems. Robert explains how Fugro is at the forefront of addressing this challenge, using advanced technologies such as AI and machine learning to collect and analyze oceanic data. This data is not just vital for scientific research but also has practical applications, from laying underwater cables to understanding the ecosystem impacts on climate. We also explore how public-private partnerships and the sharing of ocean science data are essential for tackling global environmental challenges. Robert shares insights from Fugro's involvement in initiatives like Seabed 2030 and UNESCO's Ocean Decade for Ocean Science, highlighting the importance of collaboration in driving large-scale impact. But it's not just about data collection; it's about creating shared value. Robert discusses how Fugro balances commercial objectives with environmental preservation, emphasizing the need for long-term engagement with stakeholders to redefine value beyond shareholder returns. Join us as we uncover the future of ocean health, the technological innovations shaping the field, and the critical need for comprehensive geo-data to ensure a sustainable future for our planet. Could geo-data be the key to unlocking the mysteries of our oceans and safeguarding our environment? Tune in to find out, and share your thoughts on how technology can help us navigate these uncharted waters.

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

Atlantic Technological University has launched a new short online course on Ocean Pollution, which seeks to educate and highlight the importance of oceans and the damage that can be caused by the decisions we make. The new MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) explores ocean pollution and through incorporating the seven ocean literacy principles, sustainable development goals (SDGs) and the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, the course covers several topical areas, such as marine litter. Aiming to provide students with the knowledge and tools to understand the underlying concepts surrounding the different types of ocean pollution, senior lecturer and project lead Róisín Nash says they endeavoured to make the course as engaging as possible, using interactive content, such as quizzes, striking yet informative images, and inviting a variety of guest speakers to talk on different topics. "When we looked at ocean pollution, we found that people are often focused on one element, like plastic pollution, and they invariably forget those 'invisible' pollutants like noise pollution," says Dr Nash. "And it's the combination of all these pollutants that have the ocean in its current state." Alluding to the numerous causes of pollution, from chemical to heavy metal pollution and nutrient to noise pollution, Dr Nash continues: "We start the course by exploring the importance of the ocean and then introduce the learner to the different types of pollution and follow their pathways to the ocean where we illustrated the impacts they were having on the marine environment and its inhabitants." The ocean pollution MOOC aims to educate learners through action-oriented learning, enabling them to apply their knowledge in their own local context, regardless of their professional background or geographical location. Throughout the course, learners are presented with real-life examples and case studies to illustrate the key concepts and principles. While Dr Nash was the project lead, she credits a great deal of the content creation of the MOOC to Dr Haleigh Joyce, a Postdoctoral Researcher in aquatic science and Mal Deegan from MD Productions. In addition, the feedback from Dr João Frias, a senior Researcher, who also involved in the delivery of a guest talk, was invaluable. "Most ocean pollution begins on land and there is where we should look to change our habits in order to mitigate and reduce pollution," says Dr Nash. "Marine pollution is a combination of, for example, chemicals, nutrients and rubbish, which are washed or blown into the ocean most often via our rivers." "We are often focused on one problem, like when we talk about ocean acidification (a reduction in the pH of the ocean over an extended period of time, caused primarily by uptake of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere), or overfishing when actually we should be focusing on the whole picture, the cumulation of all the different problems associated with the ocean. "Because what's going to happen is we're going to reach a tipping point where an increase in one of the many issues or the addition of a new issue will disrupt the balance in the ocean and result in a major catastrophic event which may not be reversible." Although acknowledging that there are "so many areas to cover under the topic of ocean pollution", Dr Nash believes the MOOC "gives you a flavour of everything" and may encourage learners to delve further into the subject matter to become better informed by reading research papers and reports. "We have provided some additional reading at the end of each week (of the MOOC) if people want to dip into them," she adds. When it came to sourcing case studies and other material, Dr Nash says "it wasn't very hard to look for real life examples, unfortunately", as all too often oil spills, sunken shipping containers, and discarded fishing nets result in untold damage. "While we may only hear of the major events worldwide, it's not an isolated occurrence....

In this episode, Jen welcomes Janaira Quigley, Executive Director of Ocean Connectors, a conservation non-profit program that connects youth with coastal wildlife. In their chat, Janaira talks about the mission of Ocean Connectors and how the San Diego Bay factors into their programs. She touches on the program's teaching topics, habitat restoration work around San Diego, and the knowledge exchange program with students in Mexico, highlighting why it's important for cultivating environmental stewardship. Janaira provides some easy and affordable action items for getting involved with Ocean Connectors, to get outside and help in a safe and meaningful way.   Timestamps: [2:26] The mission of Ocean Connectors is to educate, inspire, and connect youth and underserved Pacific coastal communities through the study of migratory marine life. [3:05] Ocean Connectors works primarily with students in National City and throughout the South Bay, connecting them with coastal wildlife in their communities through field trips in the San Diego Bay Wildlife Refuge and Chula Vista Wildlife Preserve, as well as whale watching trips. [3:47] Janaira discusses a quote from “Temporary Paradise” that envisioned giving the sea to the people of the city to live near and enjoy. [4:25] Many communities in the South Bay remain “park poor” due to a lack of access to open spaces and coastal access. [5:16] Teaching topics at Ocean Connectors that excite the students include migratory marine life like green sea turtles, gray whales, and migratory birds. [7:18] Ocean Connectors' habitat restoration work around San Diego Bay includes hands-on field trips and kayak cleanups to restore wetland habitats. [9:10] The Port of San Diego recently approved a new master plan pending California Coastal Commission approval. [11:19] The thread of connection between Ocean Connectors programs. [13:14] Why they chose the entire second half of their programming to exist in 91 classes at 27 schools in coastal Nayarit, Mexico. [15:39] How adults and the community can get involved with Ocean Connectors, including family field trips, bird watching over coffee, and having your next birthday party with them! [20:57] Ocean Connectors membership is just $5 per month, which includes free eco-tours and great perks.   About C-3   Even before the California Coastal Commission or Environmental Protection Agency existed, Citizens Coordinate for Century 3 (C-3) was the environmental conscience of San Diego. Since that time, in part due to C-3's leadership in education, advocacy, and empowerment, a plethora of organizations have developed throughout San Diego County. These organizations specifically focus on promoting progressive values in architecture, urban design, land-use governance, natural resource management, sustainable economic development, climate change resilience, and social justice. As the field of allies has grown, C-3's role has evolved to provide a platform that promotes creating civic community.   Opportunities for Advocacy and Engagement: C3sandiego.org Ocean Connectors   Quotes: “We work to connect students with coastal wildlife that are directly in their communities.” — Janaira [2:52] “We empower students to explore where physics, agriculture, engineering, and more fields intersect with ocean science.” — Janaira [6:45] “We focus our efforts on exposing students and families to the beautiful ecosystems in their own communities.” — Janaira [9:24] “You want to do something recreationally, especially if you're on vacation or something like that, but you also want to learn while you're at it, and you want to give back to the local community. So we help stretch that dollar in that way.” — Janaira [16:52]

HELEN CZERSKI is a physicist with a background in bubbles and experimental explosives. Her books The Blue Machine: How the Ocean Works and Storm in a Teacup: The Physics of Everyday Life are incredible explorations of looking at the processes of how things that we often don't truly see in our daily lives are deeply affecting us. In this episode, we tease at some bigger themes around how to ask questions and leverage our own curiosity, what it means to find perspective, and how we might begin as a culture to look at our participation in the interconnected web of life with a different lens. We also touch on the ocean engine and how it's time to ask ourselves what the blue in this “blue marble” really means and look at it in depth. This conversation barely touches the tip of the iceberg of Helen's work, but hopefully it will serve as a door of curiosity for you to explore her books on your own. Helen shares insights on the importance of curiosity, the humility needed to understand natural processes, and the vital role of the ocean in history, culture, geology, ecology, and the nutrient cycles of this world.
