If you love the ocean and feel called to protect it, you’re in the right place. This Is Marine Conservation brings the ocean straight to your earbuds through inspiring stories, accessible marine science, and real-world ways YOU can help protect our blue planet starting today.
Hosted by a young female marine scientist whose life has been shaped by saltwater, curiosity, and countless underwater adventures, this show blends storytelling, science, and simple action steps so marine conservation feels doable, meaningful, and deeply personal for everyone.
Each episode dives into ocean conservation, marine biology, marine science, how to help the ocean, and ocean career pathways. You'll hear conversations with researchers, conservationists, divers, artists, policy experts, and the everyday ocean lovers making waves in their communities. You’ll also hear solo, story-rich episodes that pull back the curtain on life in the field, from research highs to salty misadventures, told in a way that’s welcoming and accessible, not science-heavy.

The Ocean’s Biggest Win in Decades: The High Seas Treaty, Explained
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What is the High Seas Treaty, and why is it being called one of the biggest ocean conservation wins in decades? In this beginner-friendly episode of This Is Marine Conservation, I break down the High Seas Treaty (also known as the UN agreement on biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction) and explain what it means for the future of the ocean.
You’ll learn what the high seas are, why they’ve been so difficult to protect, how this treaty makes large-scale marine protected areas possible, and why protecting the high seas matters to everyone, even if you live far from the coast. I also explain what treaty ratification means, when the agreement became legally binding, what happens next, and how you can take action to support high seas protection.
