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 7: Fishermen-scientist symbiosis with Cassie Pardee
On this episode of the WOS podcast we’re joined by Cassie Pardee, the co-founder of Poseidon Fisheries Research, based out of Hawaii. Her research lab focuses on the life-history of coral reef species determining the age, growth, and maturity of commonly targeted fish for the use in stock assessments and fishery management. Cassie joins us to discuss her paper, titled: Growth and maturation of three commercially important coral reef species from American Samoa, discussing not only the science, but about Cassie’s passion for working with local fishermen to collect data and sharing the results back with the local fishing community.
