| Craig Fairbaugh on why rock stars aren’t as cool as environmental engineers | 08 Sep 2024 | 00:46:41 | |
Craig Fairbaugh returns for his second appearance on the Ocean Protect Podcast, after his first appearance nearly broke the internet. In this chat, we dig a little deeper into Craig’s incredible punk rock career with bands like +44, Transplants, and Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards – the subsequent transition to superstar environmental engineer – and get Craig’s insights from the US on a bunch of stormwater pollution-related stuff, including ‘zero trash to waterways’ targets, asset maintenance, testing protocols, bioretention and more. This is an AMAZING chat.

| Snakes as a bioindicator of wetland pollution with Damian Lettoof (Part 1 of 2) | 07 Mar 2021 | 00:27:51 | |
We kick off season 3 of the Ocean Protect Podcast with Damian Lettoof - a PhD Candidate at Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia. Damien has been catching and analysing wild wetland tiger snakes around Perth as part of his PhD research. His analysis shows metal contamination in these snakes is chronic, and highest in human-disturbed wetlands, suggesting all other plants and animals in these wetlands are likely contaminated as well. We talk about the research, along with a few tips on how best to leave the snake encounters to Damian. Useful links:

| The plastic in seafood with Francisca Ribeiro (Part 1 of 2) | 27 Sep 2020 | 00:33:28 | |
Plastic contamination of the marine environment is widespread, but the extent to which the marine food web is contaminated is not yet known - until now. Francisca Ribeiro is a PhD candidate from University of Queensland who led a recent study that has found plastic contamination in samples of popular seafood such as prawns, oysters, crabs, and sardines. The study is an important step to understanding the potential harm microplastics in seafood could have on human health - and Francisca gives us the low down on the study methods, results and what it all means next time you're thinking about eating your next seafood meal (or not).

| Bustin' balloon myths with Dr Morgan Gilmour (Part 1 of 2) | 13 Sep 2020 | 00:29:08 | |
For decades, those party animals within the balloon industry relied on one industry-funded study from 1989 which claimed that, after six short weeks, balloons degraded “at about the same rate as oak tree leaves” and there was no way that balloons were a threat to wildlife. Of course, wildlife would disagree with this - but some robust science was needed to pop those balloon myths. Enter Dr Morgan Gilmour and Dr Jennifer Lavers from Adrift Lab. We talk to Dr Gilmour about the dubious 1989 study and the myth bustin' research that will certainly make your think twice at your next party. This is a two-part conversation, with the second (and final) part released next week. Useful links:

Dr Janice Brahney is Assistant Professor at Utah State University, and recently led a research team that has shown that microplastic particles are accumulating in even isolated areas in the United States (national parks and national wilderness areas), after they are transported there by wind and rain. The numbers are staggering. Based on their research findings, it is estimated that more than 1000 metric tons per year fall within south and central western U.S. protected areas. We talk to Janice about the research methods and staggering results that highlight a dire plastic pollution situation that needs immediate action.

| Zero Litter to Ocean for Australia with Jeremy & Brad | 28 Jun 2020 | 01:01:08 | |
Within Australia and globally, there is unprecedented job loss and economic instability. Australian Government initiatives that can be implemented immediately to create jobs and ‘boost’ the Australian Economy and provide other tangible benefits should be considered as a priority. Stormwater NSW and Ocean Protect are calling on the Federal and State Governnents within Australia to work towards this target - to create around 7400 Australian jobs and stop the equivalent of an average of 600 wheelie bins full of plastic entering Australian waterways every day. In this episode, Jeremy and Brad talk about the target, 'Zero to Litter' policy paper and associated actions and how you can help.

Jeff Hansen, Managing Director of Sea Shepherd Australia and a Global Director of Sea Shepherd, returns for his third appearance on the Ocean Protect Podcast. This time, Brad and Jeff chat on board Sea Shepherd’s Allankay, as it was sailing up the east coast of Australia from Antarctica.

| Anita Kolni and Carolyn Grant are ocean love trailblazers | 15 Mar 2020 | 00:35:50 | |
We recently caught up with the trailblazing organisers of the Ocean Lovers Festival - Anita Kolni and Carolyn Grant. This week, the festival was due to happen - with a jam-packed six days of all things ocean loving at Bondi Beach - with art, music, actions, and showcasing of some of the latest innovations, science, state-of-the-art technology and cool ideas for helping the oceans. Shortly after our chat, however, Anita and Carolyn made the decision to cancel all elements of the festival - due to growing concerns around caronavirus. This just means that Ocean Lovers Festival 2021 will be AMAZING. This is a great chat with two amazing people and an ocean of love #iseachange Links:

| The sustainability of seafood with MSC's Dr Adrian Gutteridge (Part 1 of 2) | 01 Mar 2020 | 00:39:24 | |
Dr Adrian Gutteridge is a Fisheries Assessment Manager with the Marine Stewardship Council. With MSC's "Sustainable Seafood Week" happening in a couple weeks, we thought it'd be a super time to talk with Adrian about whether eating wild-caught fish is 'sustainable', and what MSC does to improve the sustainability of the seafood industry. As we discuss, however, one group's idea of 'sustainable' may not agree with that of an 'angry vegan'. Truth bombs guaranteed. This is a two-part conversation, with the second (and final) part released next week. Links:
