The Marine Institute's Explorers Education Programme is thrilled to announce its return to schools for the 2025-2026 school year, with an expansion that will bring marine-themed education to both coastal and inland counties across Ireland. This new nationwide reach is a testament to the program's success and growing demand for ocean literacy. "This expansion marks a significant milestone for the program, which has successfully delivered marine-themed educational content for nearly two decades," said Ms. Patricia Orme, Director of Corporate Services at the Marine Institute. "The sustained success of the Explorers Education Programme is a testament to its engaging and impactful approach to teaching students about our vital marine environment and supporting teachers in creating ocean literacy in the classroom. "We are delighted to support this expansion, reaching some inland counties through interactive online workshops and the continued development of our educational resources that are available to all schools online. This underscores our commitment to ensuring all young people are engaged in valuing and understanding the ocean's influence on our lives, and our impact on the ocean," she said. Dr. Noirin Burke from the Explorers Outreach Team, who will be leading the delivery to primary schools in inland counties, is particularly enthusiastic about this new chapter. "We are super excited to see the Explorers Education Programme expand to inland counties, bringing a wave of ocean literacy across the country," Dr. Burke noted. "Having grown up in Co. Tipperary, I understand how someone who lives away from the coast can still be passionate about the shoreline and spending time at the water. With nowhere in Ireland being far from the sea, an online interactive school module is a fantastic way of connecting students to our marine heritage and identity, and we are looking forward to exploring the ocean with all the schools we meet throughout the year." In addition to the online expansion, the Explorers Programme also welcomes eight new team members to its network, that will be providing outreach delivery to coastal counties all around Ireland. Cat and David McCann will be delivering the Explorers programme in Donegal, while new team members in Kerry, Elis Martineili and Dalia Alnajar, will also be delivering a range of marine-themed projects in schools in Limerick. New team members Claire Law and Lauren Cahill-Quinn in Cork, and Lauren Minion, Brian Parle, Angeleen Leckie-James and Rianna Carroll will be delivering in other key coastal counties around Ireland. Drawing on extensive backgrounds in both marine science and the primary school curriculum, these new and existing teams will provide teachers with expertise and support for a variety of engaging class projects and seashore safaris. Explorers project modules such as Learning about Squid, Fintastic Sharks, Turtle Talk with Sea Turtles, as well as The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - Deep-sea Species, are some of the favourite modules delivered by the team, with new content being launched throughout the next couple of months. The coastal teams will also offer hands-on experiences, from seashore adventures to bringing the seashore to the classroom with aquarium modules, also being extended in counties in Dublin and Wicklow. For further enquiries about making bookings with the Explorers team, please visit www.explorers.ie or make enquiries at: http://bit.ly/3HQMXA0. The Explorers Education Programme is funded by the Marine Institute and managed by Camden Education and Galway Atlantaquaria. The teams delivering the program include Galway Atlantaquaria, The Sea Collective, Leave No Trace - Ireland, Sea Synergy, Old Cork Waterworks Experience, Oceanics Surf School, and Seashorekids.

Oceana, working to protect endangered species, is at the heart of this powerful episode featuring Tara Brock, an environmental lawyer advocating for ocean life. Tara unpacks how the Endangered Species Act is used to protect humpback whales and sea turtles, and how legal tools like this remain essential to ocean conservation. As threats like ship strikes, climate change, and bycatch continue to rise, Tara explains why this legislation is still one of the strongest protections we have—and how it's enforced. Throughout the episode, we explore Oceana's litigation strategies, real-world wins in protecting marine life, and the ways the law intersects with fisheries, policy, and public engagement. Tara's stories and insights offer a clear call to action: the ocean needs legal defenders, and everyone has a role to play in protecting it. If you care about protecting species on the brink, this conversation will inform and inspire you.

The animal kingdom is filled with fascinating creatures, each a colorful reminder of the Earth's complexity. Many species remain remarkably mysterious, and scientists discover new aspects of animal behavior every day. Did you know that sea turtles can surf, fireflies speak through light, and salmon always know their way home? Unpacking unique habits like these reveals wonderful lessons that we can apply to our lives.

Lights from cars, flashlights, houses and streetlights can all prevent turtles from navigating to their nesting grounds. This week on Possibly we explain how you can help keep sea turtles safe.

Late last year an unprecedented number of green sea turtles, or honu, washed up on New Zealand's coastline. Many were nursed back to health and released back into the wild – and some were returned carrying special hardware that could help change the way we care for these ocean taonga On Our Changing World today, Liz Garton meets with the people behind the project…

Conservationists remind beachgoers never to approach a sea turtle or nest and to never shine lights on them at night.

An endangered sea turtle — thought to have survived a shark attack and a 5,000km Atlantic drift — will be flown home next week by Aer Lingus to a newly discovered nesting beach for her species off west Africa. The tiny tropical turtle, discovered shivering on a Clare beach during the Christmas holidays, is now thriving after being nursed back to health in Dingle Oceanworld Aquarium for the past six months. Diagnosed with a respiratory condition and meningitis, the turtle — christened Solstice — was near death when found on Quilty beach, covered in seaweed and barely able to lift her head. To discuss more on this, Alan Morrissey was joined by Kevin Flannery, Marine biologist and Director of Dingle Oceanworld.

Ch. 12 - The Great Blind Sea Turtle from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner ON MY RETURN TO the monastery from my brief journey out into the world, I had been warmly greeted by the head monk, Nyayaka Maha Thera, and by my two friends Bhikkhus Sunno and Ratanapala, who were convinced that I had returned for good. It was quite a homecoming. I asked Sunno if he might like to take a walk out to my hut one afternoon and have some tea so we could talk. He was quite pleased by the invitation and promised to visit me soon. The days went by, though, and he didn't come. One day after lunch, I sent the young boy who served me food back into the meditation quarters to fetch Sunno. I didn't think it proper for me simply to wander in there unexpectedly. Sunno appeared with a big smile, and after apologizing for not being able to make it to my kuti, invited me to his quarters. ... by Eric Lerner 2025 39 minutes 01 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

What do sea turtles, science, and cannabis have in common? In this episode, Ellen Scanlon talks with Caitlyn Krebs, the CEO and co-founder of Nalu Bio, a San Francisco-based biotech company unlocking the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids. With Mother's Day around the corner, this conversation offers a timely look at what it takes to lead a high-growth startup, raise a family, and build the future of women's health, all at the same time. Caitlyn shares how her childhood in Hawaii sparked a love of science, what inspired her to co-found Nalu Bio, and why she's betting big on cannabinoids becoming as essential as vitamins. If you're curious about the science behind cannabis and want to feel inspired about the future of women's health, you'll be glad you got to know this innovative founder. "I believe cannabinoids are the next big thing, much like vitamins were 70 years ago. Back then, no one knew what vitamins did or what they were for, but now everyone takes them." - Caitlyn Krebs If you enjoyed this episode, we recommend Episode 286.

Tanya the Sea Turtle goes for a swim by herself and enjoys the beautiful colors of her ocean neighborhood.

"There is no such thing as a sea turtle expert!" Dr. Kartik chuckles, recalling veteran biologist Dr. Jack Frazier's words. "Sea turtles will always find a way to do something that baffles you." Although lighthearted, Dr Kartik's remark speaks to his instinctive curiosity and ever-evolving understanding of sea turtles. A leading scientist and sea turtle conservationist from India, Dr Kartik Shanker is a strong advocate for decolonising sea turtle conservation and embracing more pluralistic ways of engaging with nature - a notion that he weaves throughout this candid conversation.Part one of this bonus episode begins with Dr Kartik exploring the enduring mysteries of arribada (mass nesting events that continue to baffle researchers). But the discussion soon takes a deeper turn, examining how conservation practice often prioritises visible, emotionally charged threats while overlooking the more complex, intangible challenges facing sea turtles.The conversation on conservation conundrums continues in part two of the episode, where Dr. Kartik confronts one of the most side-stepped topics in sea turtle conservation: the consumptive use of sea turtles. He critiques the dominant philosophy of protectionism, questioning its unintended consequences and urging the conservation community to reconsider its approach.This episode goes beyond sea turtles, it tackles the larger idea of how we perceive our relationship with nature and the very practice of conservation itself. So tune in now for a conversation that challenges the status quo and raises some tough questions.Further Reading, Sources & References:Shanker, K., Pandav, B., & Choudhury, B. C. (2004).

A leading scientist and sea turtle conservationist from India, Dr Kartik Shanker is a strong advocate for decolonising sea turtle conservation and embracing more pluralistic ways of engaging with nature - a notion that he weaves throughout this candid conversation.Part one of this bonus episode begins with Dr Kartik exploring the enduring mysteries of arribada (mass nesting events that continue to baffle researchers). But the discussion soon takes a deeper turn, examining how conservation practice often prioritises visible, emotionally charged threats while overlooking the more complex, intangible challenges facing sea turtles.The conversation on conservation conundrums continues in part two of the episode, where Dr. Kartik confronts one of the most side-stepped topics in sea turtle conservation: the consumptive use of sea turtles. He critiques the dominant philosophy of protectionism, questioning its unintended consequences and urging the conservation community to reconsider its approach.This episode goes beyond sea turtles, it tackles the larger idea of how we perceive our relationship with nature and the very practice of conservation itself. So tune in now for a conversation that challenges the status quo and raises some tough questions.Further Reading, Sources & References:Shanker, K., Pandav, B., & Choudhury, B. C. (2004).

Life is a struggle for survival from the moment a sea turtle hatches.  In fact, only one sea turtle out of every 1,000 typically reaches adulthood as a result of natural predators and other challenges.  Those fortunate enough to make it to adulthood face serious threats from humans. For example, sea turtles are hunted for […]

Sea turtles are considered one of the oldest living species on Earth, but it’s been a mystery where their babies go after heading out to sea. Known as their “lost years,” the lack of information makes it hard for conservationists to protect these turtles. Now, a team of marine scientists is working to change that. John Yang reports.

Sea Turtle Conservation in Florida is hard and it's about to get harder with the onset of increased intensity of hurricanes and increased sea level rise. Sea Turtle Conservation has been successful over the past few decades with protection policies being implemented along Florida coastlines. Still, hurricane events and increased sea level rise can wipe out nests in one storm killing hundreds of thousands of sea turtles. In this episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast, host Andrew Lord discusses the challenges facing sea turtle conservation in Florida, particularly in light of climate change. While sea turtles have seen a resurgence due to decades of conservation efforts, new threats are emerging that jeopardize their future. The episode highlights the impact of climate change, specifically the increase in hurricane intensity and rising sea levels, on sea turtle nesting. The 2024 hurricane season demonstrated these vulnerabilities, with storms like Hurricane Beryl and Hurricane Debbie destroying hundreds of nests along Florida's Gulf Coast. The physical toll on nesting beaches, including erosion and loss of habitat, poses a significant threat to the survival of sea turtles. Sea turtles play a crucial role in marine ecosystems, maintaining the health of seagrass beds and coral reefs. Their decline could have far-reaching consequences for marine biodiversity. The episode emphasizes that protecting sea turtles from climate change impacts is a complex challenge that requires collective action. Listeners are encouraged to support beach conservation programs, advocate for climate action, and get involved with local organizations dedicated to protecting sea turtles and their habitats. Despite the daunting challenges posed by climate change, the episode conveys a message of hope, urging individuals to take action to ensure the survival of these iconic marine creatures.

Are you sick of hearing about plastic straws? Andrew Santino, a comedian, doesn't think that plastic straws are hurting sea turtles even though a video went viral for a scientist pulling a plastic straw from a sea turtle's nose in Costa Rica. Four months later, the same scientist pulled a plastic fork from a sea turtle's nose about 70 kilometres from the original site.  In this episode of the "How to Protect the Ocean" podcast, host Andrew Lewin discusses the influence of comedy on public perception, particularly regarding the anti-single-use plastic movement. He begins by referencing a stand-up bit by comedian Andrew Santino, who humorously questions the narrative surrounding plastic straws and their impact on sea turtles. Santino's comedic approach raises concerns for Lewin, who worries that audiences may take such jokes seriously and dismiss the real issues of plastic pollution. Lewin emphasizes that while comedy can be entertaining, it can also perpetuate misinformation. He highlights the viral incident of a sea turtle with a plastic straw lodged in its nose, which became a symbol for the dangers of single-use plastics. Despite the comedic dismissal of such incidents, Lewin argues that they are significant and represent a larger problem of plastic pollution affecting marine life. The episode underscores the power comedians hold in shaping public discourse. Lewin points out that many people rely on comedians for information, which can lead to misunderstandings about environmental issues. He expresses concern that jokes trivializing the impact of plastics may lead to apathy or skepticism about the anti-single-use plastic movement. Ultimately, Lewin calls for a deeper understanding of the issue, urging listeners to recognize plastic straws as a gateway to the broader problem of plastic pollution. He invites feedback from the audience on their thoughts regarding the role of comedy in environmental advocacy, highlighting the need for accurate communication in the fight against plastic waste.
