22.01.2022 This week on the Ocean Protect podcast we talk about Pressure with Adam Sellars. Take a breath. We're going deep - with Adam Sellers, a free diver who inspires people to achieve and grow through strategies designed to help people cope with the pressures and stresses in all aspects of life. This is the first of our two-part chat with Adam, with the second (and final) part released next week. After the chat, we reckon you'll want to find out more about Adam via https://www.thep...ressureproject.com.au/ #podcast #oceanprotect #mentalhealth #stressrelief #pressure #wellbeing #health

22.01.2022 New podcast alert! We talk about seabird vomit & poo with Megan Grant & Lillian Stewart. In what may be our most fun podcast ever, Lillian Stewart (aka "Bird vomit lady") and Megan Grant (aka "Guano girl") join us to talk about their recent scientific research on the ingestion of debris by Tasmanian Pacific Gulls. In between the fun however, there is fascinating science, proving that the gulls are transporting plastic and other debris FROM a nearby landfill and into nearby wetlands. You'll certainly reconsider what you put in your garbage bin. #podcast #seabirds #scientificresearch #singleuseplastic #oceanprotect #oceanpollution #nomoreplastic

20.01.2022 Registrations are open for November’s webinar - Development assessment for stormwater quality management tips, tricks & tribulations. To register, please click here - https://us02web.zoom.us//register/WN_vKiws5weSh2HJAsDnQW5jw Within Australia, development applications are commonly required to demonstrate how ‘post construction’ (or ‘operational phase’) stormwater quality targets will be achieved. Stormwater quality management plans/ reports (and associated information) ar...e subsequently prepared in support of development applications and submitted to local government (and/ or other regulatory authorities) for assessment and, if appropriate, approval. Development Assessment personnel subsequently have the challenging task of undertaking a rapid review of technical information (including reporting, drawings and modelling files) to determine whether the proposed strategy (and associated SCMs) is appropriate and provide suitable development approval conditions. In this free webinar, Ocean Protect’s Brad Dalrymple and Michael Wicks will provide a brief (20-minute) presentation of common deficiencies in stormwater quality-related aspects of new development applications followed by answers to questions from attendees. The webinar will focus on the following key areas (for both proprietary and non-proprietary SCMs): - Modelling ‘tricks’ that are commonly applied that will exaggerate the performance of SCMs, and how to quickly identify them - Design, implementation, and management mistakes that are commonly made that invariably lead to the poor function of SCMs (including several ‘real world’ examples) - Approval conditions to consider applying to support the appropriate long-term function of SCMs proposed as part of new development. This webinar is provided to assist personnel from local government (and other regulatory authorities) responsible for the assessment of stormwater quality-related aspects of new development applications and stormwater professionals involved in the preparation and submission of stormwater quality management plans for development applications.

16.01.2022 This week on Ocean Protect Podcast, Jeremy and Brad talk about saving sea turtles from marine debris with Dr Kathy Townsend. Dr Kathy Townsend is a Senior Lecturer at University of Sunshine Coast, with a particular interest in marine conservation and human impacts on the marine environment. In this fascinating chat, we take a deep dive on Kathy's some 17 years' experience researching the impact of marine debris on sea turtles - and what we can all do about it. #podcast #savingturtles #seaturtles #marineconservation #marinelife #oceanprotect

15.01.2022 Each year, 90 billion tonnes of primary materials are extracted and used globally for plastics. Only 9 per cent is recycled, with economic, social, environmental and health impacts. In Australia, we generate an estimated 67 million tonnes of waste every year. https://www.csiro.au//CSIRO-and-partners-take-aim-at-endin #oceanprotect #recycle #plasticpollution #plasticfree #CSIRO

15.01.2022 This week on the Ocean Protect podcast we talk about the plastic in seafood with Fransisca Ribeiro. Plastic contamination of the marine environment is widespread, but the extent to which the marine food web is contaminated is not yet known - until now. Fransisca Ribeiro is a PhD candidate from University of Queensland who led a recent study that has found plastic contamination in samples of popular seafood such as prawns, oysters, crabs, and sardines. The study is an importan...t step to understanding the potential harm microplastics in seafood could have on human health - and Fransisca gives us the low down on the study methods, results and what it all means next time you're thinking about eating your next seafood meal (or not). #podcast #seafood #oceanprotect #sustainability #sustainableseafood #plasticinseafood #plasticpollution #microplastics

13.01.2022 Bustin' balloon myths with Dr Morgan Gilmour. For decades, those party animals within the balloon industry relied on one industry-funded study from 1989 which claimed that, after six short weeks, balloons degraded at about the same rate as oak tree leaves and there was no way that balloons were a threat to wildlife. Of course, wildlife would disagree with this - but some robust science was needed to pop those balloon myths. Enter Dr Morgan Gilmour and Dr Jennifer Lavers from Adrift Lab. We talk to Dr Gilmour about the dubious 1989 study and the myth bustin' research that will certainly make your think twice at your next party. #podcast #balloons #sustainableliving #stormwatermanagement #biodegradableplastic #environment

11.01.2022 On this week’s podcast, we talk about Microplastic pollution from clothing with Dr Rebecca Van Amber. Who would have thought that clothes contribute about 35% to the global release of primary microplastics to the world oceans ? Well, Dr Rebecca Van Amber for one - Senior Lecturer in the Fashion and Textiles college of RMIT University, who recently blew our minds as part of a 'Story of Plastic' Q&E event. Subsequently, we had to have her on our podcast to delve more into the detail. You'll never look at fashion in the same way again. #fashion #podcast #sustainablefashion #sustainability #saynotopolyester #syntheticfabricisstillplastic #plasticpollution
