Stay ConnectedOcean Science Radio is a joint project between Andrew Kornblatt, founder and host of the Online Ocean Symposium, and Naomi Frances Farabaugh of FIU.
Previous co-host was Samantha Wishnak, Digital Media Coordinator at Ocean Exploration Trust. The program will focus on and highlight the latest and greatest ocean science stories that the world has to offer.

In this episode the team chats with Dr. Yi Chao, CEO, and Senior Engineer Michael Zedelmair about the Seatrec technology. This is a game-changing technology harvests the heat and pressure difference in the ocean to generate electricity for drones, research facilities, and possibly even small communities.
From Boaty Mc Boat Face to current cycles to pocket sharks and CITES, Francis and Andrew have a discussion on some of the ocean stories that impacted us over the last year.
The Ocean Science Radio Team speaks with caver and robotics systems designer Vickie Siegel and CEO of Stone Aerospace Bill Stone about the groundbreaking underwater autonomous vehicle which changes the game when it comes to underwater mapping, artificial intelligence, and robotic exploration.

In this episode, we explore the relationship between renewable energy and our cell phones, the perpetually nascent deep-ocean mining industry, and the Coronavirus. We also learn how working together before the industry has started extracting resources that stakeholders, industry, and conservation interests are in a key position to minimize impact.
The team meets with Dr. Andrew Thaler - CEO of Blackbeard Biologic and Dr. Diva Amon - founder of SpeSeas, a non-profit that supports marine research in the Caribbean.
In the final episode of 2020's Ocean Lovin' Series, Andrew Kornblatt, Frances Farabaugh, and Skylar Bayer speak with marine biologist and photographer Alexander Semenov and Associate Professor of Biology at College of Charleston, Andrew Clark to talk about sex lives of Sea Angels and Hagfish.
It's Valentines Day and with it comes our next installment focusing on reproduction in the ocean. Join us this time as we highlight the insane "fishing" schemes of freshwater mussels.
From specialized lures to suicide larvae bombs the freshwater mussel has found unique ways to spread their parasitic spawn to JUST the right fish species.
Join Andrew Kornblatt, Francis Farabaugh, and Dr. Skylar Bayer as we chat with a SLEW of scientists specialized in this species.
Guests include:
Dr. Tim Lane, Southwest Virginia Freshwater Mussel Recovery Coordinator at Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries
Dr. Carla Atkinson, University of Alabama
Dr. Louise Lavictoire, The Freshwater Biological Association
Karen Thompson, New Zealand National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research
Nicole Hanrahan, Masters student at the University of Ottawa and New Zealand.
Michel Melchior , a PhD student at the University of Waikato in New Zealand.
60 years ago today the Trieste made the historic trip to be the first manned vehicle to go to the deepest part of the ocean and come back up again. Join the team as we chat with Don Walsh who made the incredible journey.
Over 35,000 feet below the surface of the ocean the historic voyage came with its challenges, turmoil, and gasoline filled metal balloons. Come learn about the science behind the dive and some of the terrifying stories of their descent into the deep!

Hitting the pages of the SROCC (the last IPCC Report), the UN Climate Summit and even the pages of the New York Times, the rising loss of oxygen in our ocean due to heat and chemistry change has huge implications for our climate and our food from the ocean. Ocean Science Radio sits down with Dr. Mandy Joye and Dr. Sylvia Earle

Plastics have contaminated our oceans, from microplastic to big honking pieces. Vicky and Andrew chat with someone who swam across the ocean to draw awareness to the issue and a woman who is launching a (hopefully) growing effort to remove unclaimed nets from the Pacific.
We spoke with Ben Lecomte and the Vortex Swim team as they made their landing in San Francisco. The 51-year-old became the first person to swim 1,753 miles across the Pacific Ocean, through the Pacific Garbage patch. The voyage was to draw attention to the issue and damage of plastic pollution.
Also interviewed was Mary Crowley, founder of the Ocean Voyages Institute. The crew removed roughly 40 tons of derelict fishing gear and has plans to collect another 400 tons in the next year.

A very special report was recently released by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change on the "Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate." We bring together a panel of scientists to find out, what the heck is happening in the ocean? What is this collection of over 1000 pages of science saying and what does it mean to us? Most importantly, where do we go from here?
