Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mud, glorious mud!
Q: How do natural bioturbation and trawling differ in their impact on carbon release?
Bioturbation tends to move nutrients and some carbon within the sediments, while trawling can loft and pluck mud layers, creating plumes that may remove or redistribute carbon, often with more abrupt and localized effects.
Mud, glorious mud!
Q: Why focus on Norway lobster and this location for the study?
The target species and location provide a clear case where trawling history and low recent sediment input align with mud-dominated carbon and allow a direct look at how disturbance interacts with long-term carbon storage.
An illusion of protection? Marine Protected Areas with Professor Callum Roberts
Q: Hi Callum. We're going to be talking about marine protected areas. I've got a few questions.
The discussion centers on what counts as real protection: MPAs must reduce extractive pressures and destructive activities to enable recovery, and many existing networks fall short by merely marking zones on a map rather than enforcing meaningful protection.
Life on the rocks, part 2: The seashore as a window on the ocean
Q: And what three things do you think we should be most concerned about in the marine environment?
Hawkins highlights global change (climate, ocean acidification), fishing pressure, and inappropriate coastal development as the three main concerns, emphasizing the need to address both global drivers and local management to mitigate impacts on coastal ecosystems.
Life on the rocks, part 1: Six decades of rocky shore ecology with Professor Stephen J. Hawkins.
Q: Where are you joining us from and how has your environment influenced your work?
I'm joining from Switzerland, where my wife worked in the pharmaceutical industry, and my location has influenced a more global perspective and collaborations across Europe, reflecting a career shaped by diverse field sites and long-term projects.
