Sinopsis
The Speak Up For Blue Podcast raises awareness of the variety of ocean science and conservation projects conducted all around the world. It educates you, the listener, on the different Ocean Conservation Projects that are happening around the world. By listening to our guests, I hope to inspire you to live an ocean-friendly life through their stories and the information I provide to guide you towards a living a life that will be healthy for the Ocean. On the podcast episodes, I discuss, sharks, marine mammals (whales, dolphins, manatees, sea lions, seals), seabirds, fish (tuna, salmon, mackerel, cod, etc) as well as ocean issues like climate change/global warming (ocean acidification, increased sea temperatures, sea level rise, arctic melting, changing weather patterns), water pollution, plastic pollution (single use plastic), coastal development, over fishing, whale hunting, fish poaching and more.

SUFB 059: Divers and Snorklers Take Part In The Great Victorian Fish Count
26/11/2015 Duración: 14minThis week's news have been fairly depressing, so I thought it would be good to share a great citizen science program called the Great Victorian Fish Count. It's a program where Scuba divers and Snorklers count fish species to help researchers monitor changes in fish populations in and around the coast of the Province of Victoria.

SUFB 058: Brazil Dam Collapses Releasing Toxic Mud From Mine's Tailings Pond
25/11/2015 Duración: 19minA Brazilian dam operated by Samarco, a mining company, collapsed two weeks ago flooding the Doce Basin with toxic mud leaving over 280,000 people without clean water and killing at least 12 people. The government estimates the clean up will take 30 years and cost 1 billion dollars; however, environmentalists say it will cost 27 billion dollars. It's just another reason to make sure extractive industries like mining and oil/gas need to be held to the highest regulatory authority to avoid the horrible events.

SUFB 054: The Need for Marine Planning
19/11/2015 Duración: 17minMarine Planning allows us to plan all the activities that occur in the ocean. Marine planning is absent in many jurisdictions around the world, which is crazy to think when most counties/municipalities, states/provinces and countries have plans for terrestrial areas, both environmental and business. Listen to why I think Marine Planning is important and what you can do add more marine plans in your oceans.
