Oceans of Hope
The climate is changing. Oceans are warming. The weather is becoming more extreme. These are events that impact each of our lives every day. It can’t be up to scientists, politicians, and activists to make a positive change. Sustainability and climate conscientiousness can become a part of our individual lifestyles. Making a difference isn’t about the protests you go to or the money you donate, though those are great, it is about the hope and the habits that you have in your daily life! My name is Jordan Ferré. I am a graduate of Stanford University’s Earth Systems Program where I studied Environmental Science with a focus on Marine Science and Science Communication. I created this podcast to make climate and marine science feel more like a lifestyle issue because it is! I am excited to chat with you about the habits that I am forming and how I am working to incorporate being a climate-conscious citizen into my daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly routine. I am also excited to chat with sustainability and environmentalism trailblazers, experts in the field, and regular people like you and me about how they find hope for the future of our environment. Hopefully, my journey & insight from the collective of hopeful environmentalists will inspire you to do the same!

Episode 12: Halloween Special!!
Happy Halloween! Today I thought it would be fun to talk a bit about some of the spooky and costumed creatures in the ocean. In this episode, I gave a short description of three creatures with spooky names (goblin shark, lantern shark, and zombie worms) and three creatures in costume (mimic octopus, decorator crab, and false cleaner wrasse).
Don't forget to rate and review the podcast! Remember to follow Oceans of Hope on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok (@OceansOfHopePod), and let me know what creature you learned more about! Also, send me any recommendations you have for the podcast or any topics you would like me to cover!
