Oceanography is a weekly marine science podcast exploring the latest ocean research, climate science, and environmental discoveries. From whale communication and underwater soundscapes to sustainable fishing gear and microplastic pollution, we dive deep into the science shaping our understanding of the world’s oceans. Each episode features conversations with marine biologists, oceanographers, and climate scientists working on the frontlines of ocean conservation and climate change. You'll learn about deep sea ecosystems, endangered species protection, and the powerful connections between ocean health and life on land. If you're passionate about the ocean, climate change, or environmental science—and want to hear directly from the researchers uncovering new insights—you’re in the right place.
Oceanography is produced by Pine Forest Media, an independent podcast network focused on environmental research, science communication, and why it all matters.

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.
