Our Ultramarine series continues with Patrick Noble from Sea Life Australia and the Sydney Aquarium. Patrick discusses his involvement with saving the white seahorse, also known as the Sydney seahorse.

In this Ultramarine podcast, we dive into the crucial issue of ocean pollution and explore real-world solutions.

Let’s Science It Out hosts David Boldeman and Steven Boldeman are joined by Tom Batrouney and Ashley Hayes, two passionate advocates for marine conservation.

In this episode, we uncover:
🔹 The impact of plastic waste and microplastics on Sydney Harbour and marine ecosystems.
🔹 How Seabin technology is helping clean up our waterways and collect crucial data.
🔹 The role of businesses, government, and individuals in tackling ocean pollution.
🔹 Practical steps you can take to help reduce plastic waste and protect our oceans.

When your neighbour is struggling, the community rallies around them – even if that neighbour is a fish. Keely Jobe’s small Tasmanian town shares its shores with the endangered red handfish. By telling the story of her involvement in local conservation efforts, Jobe considers how the community and scientists are both vital to saving at-risk species.
