  • Underwater Rainforests: Seaforestation with Scott Bohachyk and James LaFlamme

    Underwater Rainforests: Seaforestation with Scott Bohachyk and James LaFlamme
    2025/11/13
    Dive into the ocean’s rainforests and how to save them. This episode explores the science and hope behind seaforestation—the restoration of underwater kelp forests that sustain marine life, capture carbon, and protect our coasts. Joined by Scott Bohachyk of OceanWise and James LaFlamme of the Tseshaht First Nation, Clark uncovers how innovative science and Indigenous stewardship are teaming up to revive ecosystems once lost to warming seas and urchin barrens. From growing “baby kelp” to rebalancing ocean food webs, this episode reveals how kelp could be a key climate ally. Discover what’s being done, what’s at stake, and why restoring these underwater rainforests might just help heal the planet.Support our science communication by joining us on Patreon or sending us a gift on PayPalSpecial thanks to the Monterey Bay Aquarium for sponsoring this episode.Episode Guests: Scott Bohachyk and James LaFlammeFind more about OceanWise and the SeaForestation ProjectVisit the website of the Tseshaht First NationThe cause of wasting disease, discovered by the Hakai Research InstitueEpisode Transcript and more information on the Pine Forest Media websiteFollow Pine Forest Media on Instagram @pineforestmediaHosted, produced, and edited by Clark Marchese Cover art by Jomiro EmingTheme music by Nela RuizFind some more Pine Forest Media podcasts below:Listen to South Pole on Spotify or Apple PodcastsListen to Plastic Podcast on Spotify or Apple PodcastsListen to Something in the Water on Apple Podcasts Hosted on Acast.

  • From Move to Movement: The Trees & Seas Film Festival with Julie Anderson

    From Move to Movement: The Trees & Seas Film Festival with Julie Anderson
    2025/11/11

    Film sparks action: from screens to shorelines.

    In this episode of Oceanography, host Clark Marchese talks with Julie Anderson, CEO and co-founder of Plastic Oceans International, about the Trees & Seas Film Festival and its “participatory film activism” model. We explore how curated films connect to on-the-ground efforts in global Blue Communities, turning awareness into cleanups, tree plantings, and policy conversations. Julie traces her path from witnessing a nurdle spill to building the SEE Positive Change film library, and we dig into timely themes—microplastics, ecotourism pressures, and how environmental stress can drive migration. Hear favorites like The Illusion of Abundance and House by the Sea, and learn how storytelling done locally and shared globally reframes who has the power to make change.

  • OceanOmics: eDNA to Guide Marine Protection with Dr. Michael Bunce

    OceanOmics: eDNA to Guide Marine Protection with Dr. Michael Bunce
    2025/10/28
    Turn seawater into a species map. In this episode of Oceanography, host Clark Marchese talks with OceanOmics director Dr. Michael Bunce about how eDNA (environmental DNA), DNA barcoding, and genomics reveal what’s living in the ocean—from microbes to megafauna—using just a few liters of water. We follow the journey from deck to lab, then into powerful, human-friendly AI dashboards that translate massive datasets into decisions about fisheries, marine protected areas, water quality, and climate resilience. We also explore citizen science with easy eDNA kits and how these data help detect invasive species and track ecosystem health over time. If you’re curious how OceanOmics is transforming biodiversity monitoring into actionable ocean intelligence, this conversation is your field guide.Support our science communication by joining us on Patreon or sending us a gift on PayPalEpisode Guest.

  • What is the Ocean Twilight Zone (and How to Protect It) with Chris Dorsett

    What is the Ocean Twilight Zone (and How to Protect It) with Chris Dorsett
    2025/10/09
    What is the Ocean Twilight Zone? Explore the mesopelagic (200–1000 m) and why it’s central to climate, fisheries, and biodiversity. Ocean Conservancy’s Chris Dorsett explains daily vertical migrations, lanternfish and vampire squid, and the biological carbon pump that shuttles carbon to the deep. We unpack emerging pressures—industrial harvest for fishmeal/fish oil, deep-sea mining plumes, and marine carbon-removal trials—and how science-based policy can safeguard this ecosystem before impacts stack up. Clear, accessible ocean science plus practical context on precautionary management make this a go-to primer for anyone curious about how mid-water life supports whales, tunas, and the health of our seas.Support our science communication by joining us on Patreon or sending us a gift on PayPalEpisode Guest: Chris DorsettLearn more about Chris Dorsett and Ocean Conservency hereRead Motion 035Follow the IUCN World Conference and find the full list of motions here Follow Ocean Conservancy on Instagram , Blue Sky, LinkedInEpisode Transcript and more information on the Pine Forest Media websiteFollow Pine Forest Media on Instagram @pineforestmediaHosted, produced, and edited by Clark Marchese Cover art by Jomiro EmingTheme music by Nela RuizFind some more Pine Forest Media podcasts below:Listen to South Pole on Spotify or Apple PodcastsListen to Plastic Podcast on Spotify or Apple PodcastsListen to Something in the Water on Spotify or Apple Podcasts Hosted on Acast.

  • Toothfish, Climate Genomics, and the Southern Ocean: South Pole Crossover with Dr. Jilda Caccavo

    Toothfish, Climate Genomics, and the Southern Ocean: South Pole Crossover with Dr. Jilda Caccavo
    2025/10/07

    Antarctic fish with antifreeze blood are revealing critical clues about evolution and climate change. In this special crossover episode from South Pole, marine biologist Dr. Jilda Alicia Caccavo from the Institut Pierre Simon Laplace joins us to explore pelagic notothenioids — fish uniquely adapted to the icy waters of the Southern Ocean. Learn how their antifreeze proteins, colorless blood, and genomic traits help them survive extreme conditions, and why their future is under threat as ocean temperatures rise. Dr. Caccavo explains how genomics offers powerful insights into species vulnerability and resilience in a changing climate. If you're fascinated by cold-water biology, marine adaptation, or the impact of climate change on ocean life, this episode is for you.

  • Spotting Pseudoscience - All Around Science Drop

    Spotting Pseudoscience - All Around Science Drop
    2025/10/02

    How do you tell the difference between sound science and pseudoscience? In this special feed drop from All Around Science, we explore the red flags that signal when claims aren’t backed by real evidence — and how to think critically about the information we encounter every day.

    At Pine Forest Media, our mission is to make science more accessible, reliable, and engaging. That doesn’t just mean sharing discoveries from the ocean or Antarctica — it also means equipping listeners with the tools to recognize when science is being misrepresented. This episode is a valuable resource for anyone who cares about scientific literacy, public trust, and separating fact from fiction.


    Listen in for a practical, thoughtful conversation that will leave you better prepared to spot pseudoscience in the wild.
