The Next 4 Years are Going to be Rough Seas

The next 4 years are going to be rough for protecting the ocean. A Trump presidency means fewer regulations that help the ocean, so we will need you to speak up for the ocean in the form of science communication. This vlog series will focus on tips to help you in your science communication journey.

In this episode of the "How to Protect the Ocean Podcast," we dive into the implications of the recent presidential election results and what they mean for ocean conservation, climate change, and various social issues. As an ocean conservationist and marine biologist, I share my thoughts on the challenges we face in the coming years, especially with a government that may prioritize oil and gas development over environmental protection.

Join me as I discuss the importance of authentic communication in science and conservation. I provide tips for fellow scientists and environmentalists on how to connect with audiences in a relatable way, drawing parallels between political communication and effective science communication.

You'll also hear about my journey in science communication, from starting a blog in 2010 to launching my podcast and YouTube channel. I emphasize the need for a community of passionate individuals ready to stand up for the environment and inspire others to take action.

Whether you're a scientist, an enthusiast, or someone interested in conservation, this episode is packed with insights and motivation to help you make a difference.
