“The Healthy Seas Podcast” is not just a podcast; it’s a dive into the heart of ocean conservation.
Hosted by the passionate Crystal DiMiceli, a dedicated advocate with 20 years of experience in wildlife conservation and environmental education, the show brings you stories from divers, fishers, experts, and other unsung heroes actively contributing to healthier seas and oceans.
From the surface to the depths below, we explore the beauty, secrets, dangers, and solutions that lie beneath the waves to combat the apathy and blindness that allow marine litter to persist.
We stand united against the mindset that treats the ocean as an infinite dumping ground and urge everyone to recognize the urgency of the situation.

If the Ocean Could Speak:
A Special Message on World Oceans Day
Imagine if the ocean could speak. What stories would it tell us? To find out, we asked children to share their thoughts on what they believe the ocean would say.
In the words of our young ocean advocates, the ocean would likely speak of its beauty and its struggles, urging us to protect its life. 🌊 It would remind us of the joy it brings and the responsibility we have to keep it clean and safe.
Children see the world with wonder and clarity and recognize the importance ocean in ways that sometimes we overlook.
📹 Watch the video to hear what the children have to say.

One Day at Operation Ghost Farms
We’ll take you through one of our days spent cleaning up a ghost farm (an abandoned fish farm) in various locations, both on land and in the water, working tirelessly like little ants 🐜.
Our Surface helpers definitely had some intense workout days! 💪
Many fish farm nets were buried under soil and stone, and together we shoveled them free. 🥵⛏️
Together, Reclaiming Our #Waters 💧
Big thanks to Hyundai Europe and to the #volunteer diving heroes from Ghost Diving 🔱
