Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Less Than 1% Protected: The Truth About NZ’s Oceans (EP36 with Shaun Lee)
Q: What can individuals do beyond passive support to help marine environments in NZ?
People can engage in citizen science like iNaturalist, Marine Metre Squares, and seabird monitoring; they can also participate in local restoration projects, advocate for stronger protections, and support organizations working on habitat restoration and data collection.
Less Than 1% Protected: The Truth About NZ’s Oceans (EP36 with Shaun Lee)
Q: What does 30% protection look like in practice, and where does that target come from?
The 30% target comes from the UN 30 by 30 goal; in practice it would mean significant, science-based protection across habitats, not just offshore or remote areas, and it requires both policy and community support to implement effectively.
Less Than 1% Protected: The Truth About NZ’s Oceans (EP36 with Shaun Lee)
Q: Do you think, like, whereas people understand the health of the ocean?
No, there isn't a strong sense of loss or understanding of the pressures; many people underestimate how dynamic and threatened the ocean is, and there's a need for better data and communication to connect people with the realities below the surface.
From Degraded to Thriving: A Catchment Story (EP29 with John Burke)
Q: What does conservation mean to you, and how do you see it linking to farming and the market?
Conservation means restoring and enhancing the environment, not just preserving what exists; it should link to the market through authentic, traceable nature-positive storytelling that aligns with catchment outcomes and drives premium pricing for sustainable products.
From Degraded to Thriving: A Catchment Story (EP29 with John Burke)
Q: What were the first changes you made on the farm after being alerted by the council?
The initial changes focused on fencing off riparian zones, recognizing eight wetland areas to reinstate, and planning a broader restoration including steep erodible slopes converted to Ngahiri natives to slow water flow and improve soil health.
