Our polar regions are often considered to be pristine untouched waters, largely due their remoteness and lack of civilization, yet both the Arctic and Antarctica are subject to local pollution from tourism, fishing and research activities. On today’s episode, we sit down with Sarah Reed, ships ops manager and technician at the Scottish Association for Marine Science, to chat about her recent paper on microplastics in marine sediments near Rothera Research Station, Antarctica.

Episode 3: Relocating Turtle Nests: More Harm Than Good? with Lyndsey Tanabe
Should we still be relocating turtle nests? Today on the the Women in Ocean Science podcast, hosts Mads and Charlie sit down with PhD student, Lyndsey Tanabe, who is currently studying sea turtle nesting ecology in the Red Sea. From scute patterns to turtle volunteerism, tune in for a discussion on Lyndsey’s most recent paper - which she lead-authored - on the implications of nest relocation for morphology and locomotor performance of green turtle hatchlings.
