    Bruce Koike and the Art Aquatic

    Bruce Koike has gone from poultry farmer in Missouri to aquarium scientist in New Orleans to artist in Newport, Oregon. We discuss his unusual career path, the parallels between art and science, and the history of Gyotaku. Of course, we also find time for some great fish stories! Stay tuned for the creature feature to learn about the five major invasive carp species in North America!Check out Bruce’s art: koikebruce.wixsite.com, where you’ll also find a list of his upcoming appearances at art festivals and fisheries conferences.Submit a creature feature to be aired on the show!

    Sharks, Drones and Biomimicry with Sarah Hoffman

    In this episode I speak with Sarah Hoffman, a fisheries scientist with BioMark (https://www.biomark.com) in Boise, Idaho. We discuss her doctoral research on sharks off the Florida coast, and her current work at Biomark finding new research and conservation applications for drones and databases. Our creature feature continues the shark theme and follows up from where we left off last time in my episode with Susie Zagorski. Listen and learn why sharks are more warm-hearted than you might think! If you would like to hear more about Sarah Hoffmann’s work, check out her appearance on the Reality Capture Network podcast last year: https://tinyurl.com/fammd8e4Submit a creature feature of your own to be aired on the show!

    Susie Zagorski and a million tons of fish

    In this episode I speak with Susie Zagorski, who at the time of our conversation was Field Project Manager for the North Pacific Fisheries Research Foundation. We discuss her research to ensure the sustainability of the Alaska Pollock fishery, the largest fishery in the United States. Since our conversation, Susie has switched jobs and now works as a purser on C/P Starbound, a commercial Alaska pollock fishing vessel (C/P is for “catch/process” and denotes a ship that fishes for a species and processes that species onboard). Our creature feature this week is on swordfish and why they’re literally hotheaded.Submit a creature feature to be aired on the show!

  6. Pebble Mine and Bristol Bay with Sarah O'Neal

    Pebble Mine and Bristol Bay with Sarah O'Neal

    In this week’s episode I’ll be speaking with Sarah O’Neal, PhD candidate at the University of Washington, about the impacts of the proposed Pebble Mine on Bristol Bay Sockeye Salmon. Update: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers determined on Monday, October 19 that, “the project as proposed cannot be permitted under the Clean Water Act.” According to the USACE announcement, the mitigation burdens for the proposed Pebble Mine had not been met, and USACE has given developers 90 days to return with a revised proposal. But we’re not in the clear yet. Listen and learn about this critical issue and why copper mines pose a particular threat to aquatic life and salmon specifically. Our Creature Feature this week is on the endangered Least Tern and comes from Nora Papian, a graduate of Humboldt State University’s M.S. Wildlife program.
