Marine Conservation Happy Hour

Ok I love this! I recommend it for people who like the ocean and also people who like to listen to other people being hilarious! But when I listened to the episode about if you made a movie about ocean problems I kinda wish there were sea turtles. Such a good podcast! Keep up the good work! 😃😃😃😃🐋🐋🐋🐋

LOVE this podcast! This really helps me stay in tune with my passion of marine biology despite being a few hours from the ocean. Wondering if it would be possible to shed some light on sustainable, eco friendly ideas for people who want to travel/scuba/explore marine biology while doing so with a conservation cautious mind? I want to plan a few trips next year, but don’t want to be that ignorant tourist who says she loves marine biology but is harming it in the process of connecting with her passion. Any suggestions or tips for traveling would be greatly appreciated!

Very entertaining and fun. I am not a scientist but I love the environment and I want to know what is going on, what I can do to help, and Andrew, Smash and Cracken bring so much information to the table. Keep it up guys!

Overall, this is a decent podcast. Unfortunately there is political bias and animal rights extremist messaging, whether blatant or undertones, in many episodes. I would love to hear more balanced discussions in episodes that brashly trash the work of zoos and aquariums. And just so the “scientists” on the show are aware- the Baltimore Aquarium’s proposed seaside sanctuary is no different than the other coastal sea pen style aquariums in the Florida Keys and Caribbean islands. Also, the Epcot Living Seas does have docents, biologists and trainers that interact with guests throughout the day. Just because the small sample size of your time there didn’t include that doesn’t mean it can be excluded in a message to the public as being part of the programming. That’s just bad science- making an assumption to push an extremist agenda. It’s a pity, because I do enjoy much of the content on the podcast- I just can’t recommend it when they’re spreading misinformation to the general public. Thank you for the episodes on biodiversity, climate change, etc.
