About this listen
Most of us love the ocean, but we don’t always think about what’s actually in it until someone puts it in plain language. Michael Nathanson sits down with Jack Lighton of 4OceanFoundation to talk about ocean bound plastic pollution, why it’s become such an urgent issue, and what it looks like to build real momentum behind cleanup and education.
Jack shares how a childhood sea turtle nesting experience in Tequesta helped shape his path, how his time at Loggerhead Marine Life Center connected him to 4Ocean’s co-founder Alex Schultz, and why the 4Ocean model works like a “duplex” with a public benefit corporation on one side and 4OceanFoundation on the other. They also get into what donors actually fund, what cleanups can look like for everyday people, and the stat that stopped Michael in his tracks about microplastics.
Plus, a quick detour into local favorites like Tampano on Las Olas, New York Prime, and The Butchers Club at PGA National, a nostalgic Book Of Awesome moment about Chicken McNuggets, and an unexpected sports rabbit hole into E1 electric boat racing.
