This week on the World Wide Corals Podcast, we’re joined by Keri O’Neil — marine biologist, coral restoration leader, and one of the driving forces behind coral propagation and reef recovery efforts in Florida and beyond. Known for her hands-on approach and deep passion for coral science, Keri shares how she first got started working with reefs, what inspired her dedication to restoration, and how her team’s current projects are helping rebuild resilient coral populations. In our conversation, she dives into the challenges and breakthroughs of coral conservation, the importance of collaboration between scientists and hobbyists, and what gives her hope for the future of our reefs.

This week on the World Wide Corals Podcast, we’re joined by Colin Foord — marine biologist, coral artist, and co-founder of Morphologic. Colin has built a reputation for blending science and art to spotlight the hidden beauty of coral reefs, using underwater photography, video installations, and coral-inspired multimedia projects to bring reef life into galleries and public spaces. In our conversation, he shares how his artistic vision and scientific background come together to inspire conservation, raise awareness about reef health, and connect people with coral on a deeper level, showing why protecting these fragile ecosystems matters now more than ever.

This episode we sit down with filmmaker and Red Carpet Glambot host Cole Walliser to talk about his 180-gallon reef tank, the challenges of balancing reef keeping with a hectic travel schedule, and what first inspired him to start filming. Cole opens up about the struggles of maintaining a thriving tank while on the road, the lessons he’s learned along the way, and how those experiences connect with his creative work. We also dive into his latest venture—launching a new coffee company—and how passion, whether for corals, film, or coffee, drives everything he does.
