Podcasts about wetlands

Welcome to episode 324 of Growers Daily! We cover: wetlands and agriculture going fisticuffs (but not really), using legumes to fertilize heavy feeders (?), and I will break down my favorite garden hoes (in my context). We are a Non-Profit! 

Brandon Butler joins a crew of Delta Waterfowl members from Missouri for an unforgettable “body booting” duck hunt on the Susquehanna Flats of Maryland. The crew takes 21 ducks, including nine different species and receives a private tour of the Havre de Grace Decoy Museum, which houses one of the finest collections of working and decorative Chesapeake Bay decoys ever assembled. Located at the northern end of Chesapeake Bay, Havre de Grace is regarded as the decoy carving capital of the world. Few families have more history in the craft than the Jobes, and you'll be introduced to Joey Jobes on this podcast.Brandon is also joined by Kaleb Nunan, Missouri Delta Waterfowl State Chairman and Matt Kneisley a Senior Regional Director for Delta. For more info:Joey Jobes decoys and huntsHavre de Grace Decoy Museum Delta WaterfowlSpecial thanks to:Living The Dream Outdoor PropertiesSuperior Foam Insulation LLCDoolittle TrailersScenic Rivers TaxidermyConnect with Driftwood Outdoors:FacebookInstagramYouTubeEmail:info@driftwoodoutdoors.com

The media is full of stories about the coastal land loss crisis in Louisiana, dire predictions of climate change and sea level rise, and polarizing accounts of controversial projects. What's less known is that Louisiana is really good at something. A world leader, in fact. When it comes to coastal restoration, some say Louisiana is number one. Because project by project, Louisiana is piecing this ragged shoreline back together.Over the next four episodes of Sea Change, we're going to feature Wetlands Radio. The series is a deep dive into Louisiana's coast - both how it came to be imperiled and also the incredible things a mighty group of people is doing to fight land loss.In part 2, we're going to talk about building land, a vital part of coastal restoration, and often a very controversial one. We get into the thorny politics of human-led land building projects, but first, we look at how the river builds land when left to its own devices. A process many are trying to imitate.EPISODE CREDITSThis episode was hosted by Executive Producer Carlyle Calhoun and Wetlands Radio producer Eve Abrams. Wetlands Radio is produced by Eve Abrams and funded by BTNEP, the Barataria Terrebonne National Estuary Program through the Environmental Protection Agency's National Estuary Program.

In this episode, Elliott sits down with Spencer Lewis, better known as The Wetland Gypsy, for an honest and wide ranging conversation about modern waterfowl hunting, social media, and changing priorities. Spencer shares the origin of the Wetland Gypsy name, his upbringing in Texas, and how he found hunting without growing up in a traditional hunting family. He walks through his early days duck hunting out of a canoe, buying his first boat, and how traveling the Central Flyway completely reshaped his understanding of waterfowl hunting. The conversation dives into Spencer's unexpected rise on TikTok through viral mudboat videos, how social media changed the way he hunted, and why constant pressure, competition, and ego within the waterfowl space have started to drain the joy from the sport. Elliott and Spencer talk candidly about hunting pressure, OnX, traveling hunters, public versus private land, and why it feels harder every year to simply find birds. They also discuss fatherhood, shifting priorities, and why Spencer is intentionally stepping back from being known as a waterfowl influencer. The episode closes with thoughts on respect for the resource, ethics, humility in hunting, and what really matters as seasons and stages of life change. This is a thoughtful conversation about ducks, identity, family, and what happens when passion meets burnout. Podcast Partners TideWe Durable hunting apparel built for real world conditions.

Louisiana is a world leader in coastal restoration. Many would even say number one. The media is full of stories about the coastal land loss crisis in Louisiana, the dire predictions of climate change and sea level rise, and polarizing accounts of controversial projects, but what is also true is that Louisiana is making tremendous strides piecing this ragged shoreline back together little by little. Over the next four episodes of Sea Change, we're going to feature Wetlands Radio. The series is a deep dive into Louisiana's coast - both how it came to be imperiled and also, the incredible things a mighty group of people are doing to fight land loss.In part one, how did we get here? From deep geology, to efforts to control the Mississippi River, to the boom days of oil and gas, we discover the backstory that led to the start of coastal restoration.EPISODE CREDITSThis episode was hosted by Executive Producer Carlyle Calhoun and Wetlands Radio producer Eve Abrams. Wetlands Radio is produced by Eve Abrams and funded by BTNEP, the Barataria Terrebonne National Estuary Program through the Environmental Protection Agency's National Estuary Program.

To close out the year I'm revisiting four critical habitat and conservation issues in Alaska. This episode dives into the debate over a proposed second crossing through the Mendenhall wetlands in Juneau, Alaska. Local conservationists, hunters and bird experts discuss the ecological importance of the wetlands — a globally important stopover used by hundreds of thousands of migratory birds and over 230 species — and how different bridge alternatives would affect habitat, fishing, hunting access and community recreation.

Pantuase is a new wetland location added to two other wetland locations namely Trom and Bonya which were previously recorded in 2021 and 2022. Those tonal frogs heard in the recording have never been acoustically captured so i was amazed by these unique sounds they were making when the recordings were sent to me.  Since then, I keep asking myself how the place would have sounded like had it been left intact. The fate of nature in this place is unknown and can be lost at any point in time, therefore the recordings are being used to monitor/observe as well as archive diverse “remnant” species there and finally, as a tool for raising awareness about fragile ecosystems. Recorded by Emmanuel Baffoe, 13th November 2024. 

"When choosing the field recording to work with, I was particularly drawn to a field recording of nocturnal amphibians from Pantuase, Ghana, featuring a species of frog that, until recently, had not been recorded before. The recording was made within a designated natural park, which was established both to protect species from pollution created by local industry and mining, and also to provide a place for tourists to visit. "What interested me most was the sense of nature existing independently of human presence, often unnoticed. I was also interested in the idea that, when human activity fades, nature will very quickly reclaim a space. "The composition is created mainly using modular synthesis and is structured to reflect these themes. The piece begins with the field recording, representing the existence of the natural world before the emergence of human influence. Gradually, the natural soundscape is is distorted and reduced until it becomes inaudible. However, its influence continues via the use of an envelope follower, which tracks the original recording and generates control voltage. This control voltage is then used to modulate other elements within the patch. In this way, the ecological presence survives in a latent form even after its audible disappearance. "Towards the end of the piece, the field recording returns, albeit transformed from the original and still heavily processed by the modular. My intention was to highlight the fragility of nature and the ease with which natural environments can be overwritten by industrialisation and urbanisation, whilst also acknowledging its resilience and ability to endure, even within human-dominated spaces." Amphibian chorus in Pantuase, Ghana reimagined by Richard Charles Boxley.

Wetlands are miracles of nature. They work as the world's kidneys, filtering and cleaning our water. Wetlands capture carbon dioxide more effectively than even forests and act as cradles of life for biodiversity, sheltering many endangered species. Despite all this, the Trump Administration on November 17 proposed regulations that would strip federal protections from more than 80 percent of wetlands across the U.S., leaving more than 70 million acres of wetlands vulnerable to development. We discuss the issue with Jon Devine, Director of Freshwater Ecosystems at the Natural Resources Defense Council.

Duck hunters love to debate season dates and often, those opinions line up perfectly with their own decoy spread. But for those who manage habitat, timing isn't just about convenience; it's about biology, migration timing, and season-long sustainability for private and public land duck hunters. Aligning habitat strategies with season frameworks requires balance, collaboration, and a deeper understanding of what ducks need—and don't—before, during, and after the season.Plus, David Schuessler, Ducks Unlimited's National Director of Event Fundraising, joins us to talk about DU's Into the Vault Auction — where hunters and collectors alike can bid on rare waterfowling treasures old and new, with every dollar supporting the wetlands and wildlife we all depend on.>>>Thanks to our sponsors: Tom Beckbe, Lile Real Estate, Perfect Limit Outdoors, Purina Pro Plan, Sitka Gear, Greenhead: The Arkansas Duck Hunting Magazine, Diamond M Land Development, and Ducks Unlimited.Send us a textAll Rights Reserved.

Forests are well-known to be major storehouses of carbon in the environment.  Less known but also extremely important are peatlands and wetlands and, like forests, both have suffered declines as a result of human activity.  And, like forests, both are seeing efforts at restoration. Restoring peatlands has the drawback that it initially causes a spike […]

Carson and Jeff sit down with John Veon (UC Davis PhD candidate, wetlands & waterfowl) and Andy Atkinson (manager, Bird Haven Ranch) to unpack a five-year experiment in integrated wetland management—using swales, shorter irrigations, and year-round connectivity to cut mosquito production while boosting macroinvertebrates and duck use.What you'll learnWhy the Valley needs a reset: California flipped its natural water rhythm and now only ~7–10% of naturally functioning wetlands remain—so managers are rebuilding function, not replicas.How the system works: keep wet swales connected through summer and swap 10-day irrigations for ~5-day (or less) pulses to protect annuals (think Timothy), grow food plants, and starve mosquito cycles.Predators, not spray: longer access to water (≈140 days vs. ~20) grows dragonfly/other predators that hammer larvae—nature doing the heavy lifting.Public health partnership: day-to-day coordination with Butte County Mosquito & Vector Control aligns human health (West Nile) with better wetlands.Running cheaper, smarter: timing pumps at night avoids brutal demand charges and still feeds the swales—biology and the power bill pulling the same way.Water source matters: colder well water slows bug production; lift-pump or warmer sources can change bird use patterns.Measuring results: wood-duck fecal DNA diet work, USGS telemetry, and game-camera grids track how birds and wildlife actually respond.If you manage a club pond, volunteer on public ground, or just want sharper habitat instincts, this episode lays out a clear, field-tested blueprint you can scale to your place.

This episode of 'Maximize Your Hunt' features a discussion on the importance of wetlands in hunting properties, focusing on their role in deer habitat and waterfowl management. Jon Teater (Whitetail Landscapes) and Eric Lance (Hunt Science) focus their conversation on food plot management, soil remediation, and the significance of plant selection for maintaining water quality and biodiversity. The speakers emphasize the need for careful planning and management of wetland areas, including the challenges posed by invasive species and the benefits of controlled burning. The episode concludes with encouragement for listeners to engage with local conservation agencies to enhance their wetland areas. Takeaways: Wetlands provide essential habitat for both deer and waterfowl. Food plots should be managed with attention to soil health and plant diversity. Emergent species in wetlands can serve as forage for deer. Water quality is critical for the health of wetland ecosystems. Invasive species management is a key aspect of wetland maintenance. Controlled burning can help reset plant communities and promote growth. Hunting pressure can negatively impact wildlife populations. Engaging with local conservation agencies can provide valuable resources. Diversity in plant life enhances habitat quality for wildlife. Wetland restoration is a worthwhile investment for landowners.   Social Links https://whitetaillandscapes.com/ https://www.facebook.com/whitetaillandscapes/ https://www.instagram.com/whitetail_landscapes/?hl=en https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-huntscience-podcast/id1646115040 https://www.instagram.com/huntscience_podcast/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Coastal wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems on our planet. They are a boon for plants, animals, and people alike. However, sea level rise is changing these ecosystems and the communities that rely on them. Join me and Dr. Keryn Gedan as we explore the links between sea level rise, wetland migration, and ghost forests and learn how communities are bracing themselves for adapting to these changes.
