In Episode 3 we explore our amazing ocean with Catherine Gemmell, Scotland Conservation Officer for the Marine Conservation Society UK. Catherine chats about her journey into conservation, what her job involves, and why we all need to play a part in protecting our seas. From discussing endangered species that are for sale in our supermarkets, to tiny fibres travelling from our washing machines into the food chain, it’s clear that individuals, businesses and governments all have a role in marine conservation. The fun of diving, our favourite marine creatures and the ocean optimism movement all add to a great episode, full of fun facts about our “Wee Blue Dot”.
(Important to note - recording via zoom caused some connection problems during this episode, but the content was too good not share! Thanks for understanding lovely listeners!)
