*heads-up: somewhere in this episode you may experience something strange in the audio. But don't worry, it's all part of the plan*

In the final episode of 'Whoosh', we're ripping off a band-aid. What if, despite the opportunity to make renewable energy and ecology go hand in hand, there is a clash? What does it look, sound and feel like when offshore wind energy development is at odds with nature conservation? And what can help balanced decision-making when economy, carbon accounting and the true value of nature meet?

To experience this, we ended up not far away from where we started this podcast series, in Pegwell Bay in the UK. Here we're speaking to head ranger Louis Grover, who is joined by Nina Jones, who works for the Kent Wildlife trust. We discuss the pressures on the local park and reserve, their efforts to halt the installation of offshore wind energy infrastructure and the thinking behind this Rethink Sealink campaign.

And then, our podcast takes a strange sonic turn. We can't tell you too much beforehand, but it certainly provides food for thought when it comes to listening to underrepresented voices in transitions.
