NEW: White Shark Interest Group Podcast Series – #002 – CONSERVATION

Second in an exciting podcast series from Ricardo Lacombe of the White Shark Interest Group.
Episode 2 of the White Shark Interest Group Podcast, Facebook’s largest White Shark specific group, covering science, conservation, news, photography, video and debate.
This episode features Dirk, Javier and Ricardo discussing CONSERVATION! Conservation through education and knowledge! Is social media a benefit or hindrance to conservation efforts? Can Shark Week be considered a conservation aid? What can YOU DO to help sharks from your own home…even if miles from the ocean? What is a first encounter like seeing a white shark with your own eyes and how can it change your conservation stance? And Dirk’s mum turns out to be a Shark advocate after previously believing “the only good shark is a dead shark”!

BLUE EARTH – Future Frogmen Podcast Series – The Next Generation of Ocean Stewards: Lauren Brideau

A series of conservation educational podcasts from Future Frogmen, introduced by Jeff Goodman.
The Next Generation of Ocean Stewards: Lauren Brideau
We have a new host, Dr. Colleen Bielitz, and today we’ll be interviewing a recent college graduate as part of our once-a-month episode that focuses on students: the next generation of conservationists, researchers, and activists.
What are the next generation of ocean stewards doing to protect our Blue Earth? Join us as we find out by speaking to Lauren Brideau, a recent graduate of Southern Connecticut State University. Lauren started as an undeclared major but soon found her calling, now she is part of a research team conserving life below water. She is a prime example that if you want to defend our oceans and the creatures that depend on the sea to survive, now is the time to become part of the solution.
