  • Good concept, cringe hosting

    This guy sure loves to hear himself talk. Great topics and well spoken, but a lot gets lost in the ramble. Bringing on a guest to “interview” just to talk at them leaves so much potential on the floor.

  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Electric Boat Revolution Is Here
Q: Can you just talk about the environmental and financial benefits of having an EV boat?
Electric boats are quiet, have strong torque, reduce fuel and maintenance costs, and offer a more predictable charging experience, often with shore power options that integrate smoothly into homeowners' routines; financially, while upfront costs can be higher, the ongoing operating costs and maintenance are lower, and customers value the overall experience and reliability.
The Hidden Ocean World Most of Us Will Never See
Q: How do educators translate complex data into engaging stories for students?
Educators tie data to tangible narratives, using relatable examples (like local rivers or ferry water samples) to show seasonal and environmental dynamics, making abstract data concrete and exciting for learners.
The Hidden Ocean World Most of Us Will Never See
Q: What role do Indigenous nations play in this project?
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.
