  • For the Oceans

    Been following this show for quite awhile and LOVE it. Informative, never boring and always gets to the heart of the matter without the sensationalism so many other draining podcasts have. Though he covers heavy topics, they’re important and you end each episode with a bit of hope and optimism for progress toward real actionable change (even when things look bleak). His critiques are always fair. The style of the pod is also upbeat and entertaining, which helps. Gives many of us ocean conservati... more

    Thanks, Dr. Lewis for all the work you’re doing. You have such great content and dissect some of the most critical concepts we in the marine world should be thinking about.

  • Hmm…

    Speaks authoritatively about every ocean topic, but gets a lot of things wrong. Very opinionated. Rarely interviews actual experts. Is very self-promoting.

  • Why no mention of the leading causes of ocean pollution?

    I left 4 stars cuz I might just be missing it and not here to be a jerk. I am legitimately confused though about why the Auto and Fashion industry who together make up almost 80 percent of plastic pollution on the ocean are not being addressed here.

    Flip flops, cigarettes, abs plastic straws are nothing compared to the normalized impact of these industries.

    Machine washing synthetic fibers is such an easy point to address, and I’m incredibly surprised no one is addressing this.

  • Best ocean podcast ever

    I recently started listening to this podcast and am now badly addicted. I have learned so much just through listening to an episode with breakfast every morning. Each episode is uniquely different and provides an amazing amount of information in an easy ily absorbable way, which is a great break for a student like me who wants to learn more about marine science but is sick and tired of lectures. Andrew explains everything in bite-sized chunks and has covered just about everything and anything yo... more

Indigenous nations are co-managers of marine protected areas, contributing traditional knowledge, governance, and holistic ecosystem understanding to guide research priorities and conservation decisions.
The Hidden Ocean World Most of Us Will Never See
Q: How do ROVs change the way scientists study the deep sea?
ROVs provide live, high-resolution observation, precise positioning, and the ability to collect samples in a controlled, repeatable manner, enabling data-rich studies of fragile ecosystems that were previously inaccessible.
The Hidden Ocean World Most of Us Will Never See
Q: What is the Northeast Pacific Deep Sea Exploration Project and what are its main goals?
It's a collaboration between scientists, educators, industry, and Indigenous groups to explore the deep sea, discover life, document ecosystems, and share knowledge through inclusive partnerships, aiming to improve understanding and stewardship.
What You Think About Cold Water Oceans Is Probably Wrong
Q: How does diving in cold water compare to diving in warm water, and what unique experiences does cold-water diving offer?
She explains that cold-water diving is a different discipline requiring stillness and longer observation, which often reveals more biodiversity and behaviors that might be missed when moving quickly; she also notes the distinct sights like nudibranchs and bioluminescent polychaetes at night.
