Restoring oyster beds, seagrass, and salt marshes together is better than restoring only one type of habitat
There are many coastal areas that have been degraded to the point that restoration is necessary, but restoration can be very expensive and is often focused on 1 type of habitat. Therefore, restoration specialists and conservationists are now focusing on restoring more than one type of habitat to increase the success of the coastal area.
In this episode of the SUFB podcast, I will be discussing how projects from different parts of the world are having success with restoring multiple habitats due to a term we call connectivity.

Will the ocean lead fashion into a new era with products made from invasive species and kelp?
Everyone loves fashion and loves to look good when they go out. Many people follow the term "Look good, feel good." But today's fashion comes at an environmental cost/price and therefore, it needs to change to more sustainable options.
In this episode of the Speak Up For the Ocean Blue Podcast, I will be highlighting two types of ocean sources derived from an invasive species and the other from kelp.

The Ocean is speaking and it sounds like Harrison Ford
Protecting and conserving the ocean seems to take a back seat to other issues when talking about priorities. For example, in Canada, politicians want to protect the economy more than the environment because it has a higher priority. Often times the protection of the economy comes in direct conflict to protecting the environment. But what if the ocean had a say in this priority choice. What if the Ocean could speak to us and give humans a message.
Conservation International has some thoughts on what the Ocean was to say to humans.
In this episode, I am going to talk about a new campaign from Conservation International called Nature Is Speaking and how it should make us rethink how we protect the ocean.

Surprisingly interesting
I was expecting some casual chatting about random topics related to ocean conservation, but andrew actually brings up subjects that are really captivating. The latest ocean talk friday was delightful, hopefully there will be more coming!! Thank you! Much love from montreal :))
Amazing Podcast
As balanced, unbiased and welcoming of a conversation around conservation and activism you can get. Enjoy the real conversations without unnecessary added effects of drama just for the sake of good listening.
