Description

If you love the ocean and feel called to protect it, you’re in the right place. This Is Marine Conservation brings the ocean straight to your earbuds through inspiring stories, accessible marine science, and real-world ways YOU can help protect our blue planet starting today.


Hosted by a young female marine scientist whose life has been shaped by saltwater, curiosity, and countless underwater adventures, this show blends storytelling, science, and simple action steps so marine conservation feels doable, meaningful, and deeply personal for everyone.


Each episode dives into ocean conservation, marine biology, marine science, how to help the ocean, and ocean career pathways. You'll hear conversations with researchers, conservationists, divers, artists, policy experts, and the everyday ocean lovers making waves in their communities. You’ll also hear solo, story-rich episodes that pull back the curtain on life in the field, from research highs to salty misadventures, told in a way that’s welcoming and accessible, not science-heavy.


You’ll walk away with:
 🌍 Practical actions you can take immediately to help the ocean
📚 Clear explanations of current marine issues and breakthroughs
🌊 Inspiring stories that reconnect you with the wonder, value, and power of the ocean
🧭 Guidance and insight for those curious about ocean-focused education or careers


Whether you’re an aspiring marine biologist, a conservation professional, a scuba diver, or simply someone who loves the sea, this show will leave you informed, empowered, and more connected to the ocean than ever.

Ep. 019: Ever wondered about the life of an oyster before it hits your plate? This week's guest is oceanographer Jacqueline Rosa. She spent a year and a half monitoring the surface and bottom of the bay, plus six months raising oysters in three kinds of farming gear. One of those was Flip Farm, a New Zealand–designed system that's getting Rhode Island oyster farmers' attention. She did all of this after a decade away from school, working at marine science nonprofits and in outdoor education. ...
Ep 018: Fishing charter captains don't care about conservation, right? Wrong. Coral Aiello started working on her dad's charter boat as a 14-year-old mate. Sixteen years later, she's the captain and her dad works the deck. In this episode, Coral shares why she believes fishers care about the ocean more than most, how she brings fish tagging aboard her charters, and what her seat on the Rhode Island Marine Fisheries Council has taught her. Plus: warming waters, the "Professional Hooker" ...
Ep 017: Melissa Hobson is one of the most published ocean writers around, with bylines in National Geographic, BBC Wildlife, Scientific American, The New York Times, and The Guardian. After she was peer-pressured into learning to scuba dive on the Great Barrier Reef, she slowly transitioned her career from PR to writing about the oceans. There are so many options for building a marine career that isn't "scientist," and Melissa shows us just how incredible a career in ocean writing can b...
Ep 016: Dr. Liberty Boyd went to college to become a teacher, but walked out a sea turtle scientist. In this episode, we get into the decade-long question that pulled her in: what are sea turtles actually doing for 99% of their lives when they're not up on the beach nesting? For her Ph.D. research, Liberty tracked turtles across the Bahamas, Bermuda, and Australia using cameras, underwater microphones, and Apple-Watch-style motion tags. She breaks down, in plain language, how each one works a...
Ep 015: Did you know part of Narragansett Bay was closed to shellfishing since before World War II, and that it only reopened a couple of years ago? I didn't fully understand what that comeback meant until I sat down with Chris Dodge, the Narragansett Baykeeper at Save The Bay. Chris holds one of only about 300 Waterkeeper positions on the planet, which basically makes him the eyes, ears, and voice of the Bay. I wanted to know what that job actually looks like day to day. Somewhere between ra...
