Podcasts about ocean solutions

Ocean conservation isn't always about what's happening in the water—it's also about the choices we make on land. In this episode, we speak with Maddie Hamann, a former oceanographer turned sustainable food entrepreneur. Maddie shares how her background in ocean science led her to co-found PACHA, a company that creates sourdough buckwheat bread using organic, regenerative practices. From nutrient cycles to sustainable packaging, Maddie explains how oceanography continues to inform her mission—even in the kitchen. Sustainable food systems play a major role in protecting marine environments. Maddie breaks down why she and her partner chose buckwheat, how they built an ocean-friendly food brand, and how consumers can support businesses that align with ocean values. This conversation goes beyond the surface, connecting science, health, and sustainability in a delicious way.

In this episode of the "How to Protect the Ocean" podcast, host Andrew Lewin interviews Dr. Annalisa Bracco, a professor at Georgia Tech specializing in ocean and climate dynamics. The discussion centers around innovative climate solutions, moving away from the typical focus on the negative impacts of climate change. Key Climate Solutions Discussed: Sargassum Management: Problem: Since 2011, there have been significant blooms of sargassum in the tropical Atlantic, impacting beaches in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. These blooms require costly cleanup efforts, amounting to approximately $300 million per year. Solutions: Sinking Sargassum: Research is being conducted to explore the feasibility of sinking sargassum to sequester carbon. This involves understanding the ecological impacts and ensuring that the carbon captured is not released back into the atmosphere. Biofuel Production: Collaborations with engineers and biologists are underway to convert sargassum into biofuels. One approach involves using black fly larvae, which can efficiently consume sargassum and accumulate lipids for biofuel extraction. Bricks from Sargassum: A small business in Mexico is creating bricks from dried sargassum, which are reported to be more resilient to storms than traditional building materials. Coral Reef Connectivity: Dr. Bracco's team is using machine learning to study the connectivity among coral reefs, which is crucial for understanding how larvae disperse and how healthy ecosystems can support one another. The research highlights the dynamic nature of coral ecosystems, particularly in the Pacific, where certain areas can recover from bleaching events due to the exchange of larvae. In contrast, the Atlantic faces challenges due to pollution and overfishing, which hinder recovery. Interdisciplinary Collaboration: The episode emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary work in addressing climate issues. Dr. Bracco collaborates with experts from various fields, including biology, engineering, and computer science, to develop comprehensive solutions to climate challenges. Overall, the episode provides a hopeful perspective on climate solutions, showcasing innovative approaches to managing ocean health and addressing the impacts of climate change.

The debate over the reality of climate change is over. There is no place on land or sea that is immune from the effects of extreme weather, fire, flood, inundation, erosion, and social impacts. This week we're discussing carbon as the key culprit to our current condition, and the multitudinous methods and suggestions and investments to remove carbon from the atmosphere and the ocean. Is it possible we've made this all too complicated? Might the solutions be right there, in front of us, having already been discovered at the technological, political, and regulatory levels? What does it look like if we apply simplicity, imagination, collaboration, and energy to guide our way forward, toward solutions?World Ocean RadioSince 2010More than 730 episodesOcean is climate | Climate is ocean | The sea connects all thingsThe full catalog is searchable by themeWorld Ocean Radio: 5-minute weekly insights in ocean science, advocacy, education, global ocean issues, challenges, marine science, policy, and solutions.

Dr. Vincent Pieribone, Co-CEO and Chief Science Officer of OceanX, discusses the organization's evolution and its shift in messaging. OceanX was founded by Ray and Mark Dalio, inspired by the need to celebrate and protect the ocean. Initially, the focus was on conducting exciting scientific expeditions and showcasing the beauty of the ocean through compelling media. However, as OceanX gained popularity and recognition, they began to receive requests from governments and organizations seeking solutions to ocean-related issues. This prompted a pivot in their mission to not only highlight the ocean's beauty but also to emphasize the urgent need for solutions to the problems facing it, such as overfishing, pollution, and climate change. Parabon emphasizes that while the science surrounding these issues is well-established, the focus now is on actionable solutions. OceanX aims to inspire a love for the ocean, which will lead to its protection, and to engage in partnerships that foster sustainable practices. The organization recognizes the importance of showcasing success stories and innovative solutions, thereby shifting from a predominantly doom-and-gloom narrative to one that highlights hope and potential for positive change. This new direction aims to mobilize public interest and action, ultimately benefiting both the ocean and humanity.

“We are basically in the top performing MSPs,” says Ahmed Mahmood, President Ocean Solutions. “We've been growing somewhere between 70 and 150% over the past four or five years. We're staff of about 18 employees now, and we support about 4,500 users across the entire country here. We have clients all over the US. We have some clients with international presence and our focus on cybersecurity and our focus on taking on the responsibility completely of our clients not just kind of break fix or certain tasks in most cases.” Ahmed will join Aida Keehner, CEO of Atruent and Marlo Alexander Owner, Bosque IT on the upcoming MSP Panel Discussion at TEBO. In this podcast we get a look at that panel, and some insights on how Ocean Solutions is achieving success as an MSP. “Now you all of a sudden need to understand a lot more than a single industry you are in,” says Ahmed. We learn that MSP success today means being on top of the niche markets, verticals or other defined industries, that your MSP serves. Ahmed discusses how he has guided his company to growth. “I would encourage everybody, and I look forward to meet everyone that is going to have the time to meet us at TEBO. It's going to be nice interactive discussion panels. We're trying to give back to the community… Our job is trying to also get our community to work together to improve and help each other. About the Panel Managed Service Providers (MSPs) often face complex and challenging discussions with their clients and internally within their organizations. Here are some of the most difficult topics we might tackle during this panel discussion. Client Expectations and Satisfaction: Managing client expectations, especially when they are unrealistic, and ensuring high levels of satisfaction can be challenging. This often involves difficult conversations about what is feasible and the potential trade-offs involved. Security Threats and Compliance: Addressing cybersecurity threats, compliance with regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA), and managing risk can be particularly challenging. MSPs need to stay ahead of emerging threats and ensure their clients are protected while navigating complex legal requirements. Staffing and Resource Allocation: Discussions about staffing levels, resource allocation, and managing internal workloads can be challenging, especially if there's a mismatch between client demands and available resources. Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) for Managed Service Providers: Financial Health: Evaluating the financial stability and performance of potential M&A targets. Operational Compatibility: Assessing how well the operations, systems, and cultures of the companies align. About Ahmed Mahmood Information technology leader experienced in architecture deployments, system design deployments, and complex project management. Expertise in current Microsoft systems, wired and wireless network designs and implementation engineering with innovative approaches to security while utilizing best practices as an essential part of every venture. My diverse assignments as a VCTO and senior systems engineer have provided me an unparalleled practical advantage whether troubleshooting a minor issue or reshaping a high-capacity server environment.

As we review the state of climate change challenge and response, it becomes clear we are not succeeding. Is it possible to craft a new economic system that values natural resource sustainability over depletion of those resources? Can we conceive a new economics, a forward-directed system of financial valuation and exchange based on the asset value of Nature?

Devastating weather and water events abound worldwide. Rain, flooding, strong winds, extreme high tides, coastal erosion and inundation have caused havoc in ports and on waterfronts. These events are neither new nor are they going away any time soon. While we will continue to rebuild and revive, the time is now to plan a response as complicated as the issues we face, to admit to mistakes made, and to welcome new policies and initiatives that build a future that works, even in the face of increasingly unpredictable climate events.About World Ocean Radio World Ocean Radio is a weekly series of five-minute audio essays available for syndicated use at no cost by college and community radio stations worldwide.
