Dive into the Marine Conservation Happy Hour Podcast with Healthy Seas
We’re thrilled to announce that Healthy Seas has been featured on the latest episode of the Marine Conservation Happy Hour podcast! This lively and engaging podcast, hosted by Dr. Scarlett Smash and Dr. Craken MacCraic, is known for its informal, pub-like atmosphere where marine science and conservation topics come to life. With a consistent presence as a top nature podcast in 51 countries (including being #1 in 31 countries), it’s no surprise that it has become a favorite for ocean enthusiasts and conservationists alike.
In this episode, our very own Isadora Abutler joins the conversation to discuss the growing problem of “ghost farms”—abandoned fish farms that continue to wreak havoc on marine environments. Isadora shares insights into how these neglected sites harm marine ecosystems, the challenges involved in cleaning them up, and how Healthy Seas has been tackling this issue head-on in Greece for the past four years.
From recovering vast amounts of abandoned gear to preventing pollution and saving marine life, these efforts underscore the importance of addressing ghost farms early and comprehensively. The episode is not only informative but also a celebration of collaboration, curiosity, and shared passion for marine conservation.
