  • Ocean's Mystery: Orcas Sinking Boats off the Coast of Spain - Unraveling the Enigma
    I discuss the unusual behavior of a sub pod of critically endangered orcas off the coast of Spain. Since 2020, these orcas have been ramming sailboats, causing damage and even sinking vessels in 3 cases. The motive behind these events remains a mystery, but some theories suggest that the noise from boat engines or a traumatic event involving the orcas may be triggering this behavior. I talk about the various interactions between orcas and boats worldwide, emphasizing that orcas have not harmed humans in the wild. However, the recent incidents in Spain have raised concerns for both boat safety and the welfare of the orcas. To protect both parties, there may be a ban on certain boat types in the area. I will update you on any new events or policies that come from these events.

  • Sand Dunes: The Unsung Heroes of Coastal Resilience
    Just when I thought I understood the delicate balance between nature and human intervention along coastlines, the Dunes project revealed an unexpected twist that left me stunned. Get ready for a jaw-dropping revelation that will challenge everything you thought you knew about protecting our vulnerable shorelines. In this episode, you will be able to: Discover the critical role of sand dunes in safeguarding coastlines against erosion. Uncover the objectives of the Dunes project in pinpointing vulnerable zones and preparing for erosion. Realize the vulnerability of European nations to climate change and coastal flooding. Delve into the history of human-environment interactions in coastal areas across the globe. Find inspiration to take a stand in safeguarding our oceans for future generations. If we can't do that [prepare for the vulnerability of coastal communities], those coastal communities are at risk and we don't know which ones will be more at risk than others. And these are people's livelihoods that we're talking about. - Andrew Lewin The resources mentioned in this episode are: Share your thoughts on coastal flooding and erosion on Instagram at @howtoprotecttheocean (https://bit.ly/3rIaJSG). Book a conservation journey interview with Andrew Lewin through the calendar link: https://calendly.com/sufb/sufb-interview Check out the Dunes project article on phys.org (https://bit.ly/3nDEpSR) for more information on how sand dunes can act as a barrier against erosion and flooding. Consider using natural systems, such as sand dunes, to protect against erosion and flooding rather than human-altered systems. Prepare for climate change and adapt to the consequences by identifying vulnerable areas and fortifying them with natural or human-altered systems. Show appreciation for mothers and the sacrifices they make for their families. Building on Past Successes Looking back at successful conservation efforts is vital in shaping the future of environmental protection. Understanding the factors that have contributed to these victories can offer valuable lessons and inspiration for future initiatives. In the podcast, Andrew Lewin expresses excitement for upcoming episodes, which will delve into past successes and challenges facing conservation efforts. By hearing from experts in ocean conservation, marine biology, and related fields, Lewin hopes to inspire others to take action and build on previous accomplishments, ultimately achieving positive results in protecting our oceans. Challenges in Conservation The numerous challenges facing ocean conservation can seem insurmountable. However, understanding these obstacles and learning how to navigate them is key to protecting our coastlines and the marine ecosystems they support. Throughout the podcast, Andrew Lewin speaks passionately about the threats to our oceans and emphasizes the importance of overcoming these challenges. He calls listeners to action, encouraging them to take simple steps such as reducing single-use plastic to make a difference. By highlighting the successes and obstacles in conservation efforts, Lewin’s podcast promises to offer valuable insights and advice that can inspire and guide coastal residents in their own battles to protect the ocean. Dune's Evolution Understanding the evolution of sand dunes is vital to protecting coastlines from erosion. By learning how dunes have formed and developed over time, coastal residents can adapt their strategies to better suit the changing landscape. The interactions between humans and their coastal environments have left their mark on dunes, shaping their past and future evolution. During the podcast, Andrew Lewin discusses the international span of the Dunes project, which is researching coastal regions across countries like France, Portugal, the UK, Brazil, Mozambique, North America, and New Zealand. By examining the history of human-environment interactions in these coastal areas, the Dunes project aims to gain insights into how dunes have evolved and will continue to act as barriers against erosion in the face of climate change.   Share your conservation journey on the podcast by booking here: https://calendly.com/sufb/sufb-interview   Join the audio program - Build Your Marine Science and Conservation Career: https://www.speakupforblue.com/career   Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/3NmYvsI Connect with Speak Up For Blue: Website: https://bit.ly/3fOF3Wf Instagram: https://bit.ly/3rIaJSG Twitter: https://bit.ly/3rHZxpc
