Episode notes

Iana Eliza is a marine biologist and the founder of Oceancollective.co, an ocean-focused social media company. She says she spends way too much time answering email - but it's also great for having colleagues from all over the world to work with. "The online ocean community is actually a really cool aspect of the job as well because nerdy ocean jokes are amazing"

Are plastic straws really that bad? What's the oldest message in a bottle? Any scuba vs. snorkel strategies? Does sunscreen kill coral? Can we reverse ocean warming in our lifetime? In a conversation with ocean and policy expert Dr. Ayana Johnson, Alie struggles with finding a balance between the wonders and the bummers. For the first 15-20 minutes, learn weird ocean trivia, why we love the sea, and facts about the ocean's depths and beauty. Then, we get to the sad stuff: ocean health, climate change, acidification, pollution, policy and what we can all do.

If you've been feeling helpless, this episode gives you all the tools you need to understand and help our friend, the World Ocean.

Also: some great information about whale pee.
