Often mistaken for seaweed, Posidonia oceanica is a flowering marine plant and one of the Mediterranean’s most valuable ecosystems. Its meadows can host up to 1,000 species, protect coastlines, support fisheries and store carbon accumulated over centuries. But Posidonia grows only a few centimetres each year, meaning damage can take centuries to recover. In this episode, marine scientist Dr Dimitris Poursanidis takes us beneath the surface to explore the importance of Posidonia, the threats facing its meadows, and how scientists monitor them using satellites, sonar, drones, eDNA and underwater observations. We also discuss ghost nets, abandoned aquaculture materials, microplastics and carbon storage — and why removing marine litter can help give these slow-growing ecosystems a chance to recover. 🎧 Listen now and discover the Queen of the Mediterranean. #HealthySeas #PosidoniaOceanica #Mediterranean #MarineConservation #MarineScience #GhostGear If you enjoyed this episode, please be sure to subscribe, rate and review it!

How employees become ambassadors for ocean conservation    What happens when employees are given the knowledge, freedom and support to champion a cause they genuinely care about?  In this episode of the Healthy Seas Podcast, DWS employees and Healthy Seas Ambassadors Luxshmy Harikantha and Leon Vosse share what employee volunteering looks like in practice. Through the longstanding collaboration between DWS and Healthy Seas, ambassadors receive training, educational resources and ongoing support to bring topics such as marine litter, ocean protection and individual action into schools, community activities and events within their company.  Their experiences show that a meaningful employee engagement programme can extend far beyond a single volunteering day. Ambassadors can shape activities around their own interests and local opportunities, collaborate with colleagues and external organisations, and build relationships with students and communities over time.  For Luxshmy and Leon, this work also provides something different from their everyday professional roles: a chance to act on their personal convictions, learn more deeply about ocean conservation and see the immediate response of the people they meet. They describe children leaving activities eager to share what they have learned and sometimes changing their behaviour, and the behavior of their families, almost immediately.  The episode also explores what makes corporate volunteering feel genuine rather than symbolic. Time, flexibility and organisational support all matter, but so do trust and creative freedom. Employees need space to contribute their own ideas, take responsibility and adapt activities to the people and places around them.  For companies considering an employee volunteering programme, the DWS Ambassador initiative offers a concrete example of what is possible when a business and a nonprofit organisation build something together over several years. Healthy Seas brings expertise from marine conservation, education and field projects, while employees become multipliers who carry that knowledge into new settings.  The result can benefit everyone involved: communities gain access to engaging ocean education, employees find connection and purpose beyond their day-to-day work, and companies create opportunities for colleagues to come together around meaningful action.  If you enjoyed this episode, please be sure to subscribe, rate and review it!

Before forests, before animals, before humans there was plankton. In this episode of the Healthy Seas Podcast, we speak with ocean advocate and author Vincent Doumeizel, whose upcoming book The Power of Plankton explores one of the most overlooked yet fundamental components of life on our planet. Plankton is often described as the “invisible” part of the ocean. But as Vincent reminds us, it is not just part of the story of life, it is the story. A planet shaped by the smallest forms of life Plankton is not a single organism, but a vast and diverse community of life forms ranging from microscopic algae and bacteria to larvae and even some animals like jellyfish that drift with ocean currents. For over 3.5 billion years, plankton dominated life on Earth. In that time, it fundamentally transformed the planet. It was plankton that first developed photosynthesis, releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. It was plankton that created the carbon cycle, the water cycle, and the conditions that made complex life possible. Quite simply, without plankton, there would be no breathable air, no stable climate, and no ecosystems as we know them. The invisible engine of biodiversity When we think about ocean conservation, we often focus on what we can see: coral reefs, marine animals, seagrass meadows. But all of these systems depend on plankton. As Vincent explains, plankton sits at the base of the entire marine food web. It regulates nutrients, supports fish populations, and drives the biological processes that sustain biodiversity across the ocean and, by extension, across the planet. This is where the connection to the Healthy Seas Foundation becomes clear. While our work focuses on removing marine litter, ghost nets, and other debris from the ocean, the ultimate goal is to protect the ecosystems that lie beneath. And those ecosystems depend on something far smaller and less visible: the balance of plankton communities. If we think of ocean conservation as restoring a house, plankton is the foundation. And without a stable foundation, nothing above it can stand. A system under pressure Plankton is resilient but it is not immune. Rising temperatures, ocean acidification, and pollution are already changing the composition of plankton communities. Species that help regulate climate, such as those that capture and store carbon, are being replaced in some areas by species that thrive in warmer, more polluted conditions. This shift may seem invisible, but its consequences are not. Because plankton drives the carbon cycle, changes at this level can accelerate climate change. Because it supports marine food chains, disruptions can cascade through entire ecosystems. In other words, the smallest organisms can have the largest impact. From understanding to solutions Despite its importance, plankton remains one of the least understood parts of our planet. But this is beginning to change. Advances in DNA sequencing, satellite observation, and artificial intelligence are opening new windows into this microscopic world. In the past decade alone, scientists have discovered millions of new genes and vastly expanded our understanding of ocean life. And with this understanding comes potential. Plankton could play a role in future solutions, from carbon capture to bioremediation, from new materials to new sources of food. But as Vincent emphasizes, the first step is not exploitation, it is understanding. Starting from the foundation At Healthy Seas, we often say that ocean conservation is about more than removing waste, it is about restoring balance. This episode reminds us that balance starts at the smallest scale. Protecting plankton does not mean “saving” it, it will continue to exist in one form or another. The real question is whether we can maintain the conditions that allow plankton to support life as we know it. Because in the end, as Vincent puts it, we may not need to save plankton. Plankton may be what saves us. If you enjoyed this episode, please be sure to subscribe, rate and review it! This helps to boost its visibility.

When we think about cleaning the ocean, we often imagine divers removing ghost nets or volunteers collecting plastic from the shore. But beneath the surface, nature has its own recycling systems. In this episode of our Ocean’s Natural Cleaning Crew series, we turn to one of the most overlooked and most underestimated marine animals: the sea cucumber. Joining us is Prof Annie Mercier, Department of Ocean Sciences, Memorial University (Canada), who has spent decades studying these remarkable creatures and co-edited the comprehensive scientific volume The World of Sea Cucumbers. The “earthworms” of the ocean Sea cucumbers play a vital but often overlooked role in marine ecosystems. Like earthworms on land, they process seabed sediments, recycle nutrients, and help keep ocean floors oxygenated. On coral reefs, they may even support coral health by reducing harmful bacteria. Despite their simple appearance, sea cucumbers are incredibly diverse, ranging from tiny species to over a meter long, and living in environments from shallow reefs to deep-sea trenches. Their biology is equally remarkable — some can regenerate organs, split in two, and live for decades, making them valuable for scientific research on aging and regeneration. However, rising global demand has led to overfishing, putting many populations at risk. Losing them doesn’t just remove a species — it disrupts essential ecological processes that keep marine ecosystems balanced. Sea cucumbers may not be iconic ocean animals, but they are quiet engineers of resilience — and far more important than we often realize. 🎧 Listen to the full episode to discover why these humble creatures matter so much.   Further links to the topic: IUCN SSC Sea Cucumber specialist Group: https://iucn.org/our-union/commissions/group/iucn-ssc-sea-cucumber-specialist-groupProf. Annie Mercier lab's website: https://www.mercier-lab.ca/The open-access conservation paper:  https://doi.org/10.1146/annurev-marine-032123-025441Book https://www.sciencedirect.com/book/edited-volume/9780323953771/the-world-of-sea-cucumbersIf you enjoyed this episode, please be sure to subscribe, rate and review it!

In this episode of our “Ocean’s Natural Cleaning Crew” series, marine scientist Erik Wurz reveals how sponges filter water, recycle nutrients, and quietly sustain marine life Most of us think of ocean protection in terms of visible action: removing nets, collecting waste, monitoring habitats. But beneath the surface, nature has its own clean-up teams: organisms that filter water, recycle nutrients, and make marine ecosystems possible. In this episode of our series on marine life that helps keep the ocean clean, we meet one of its most overlooked workers: the sponge. Marine biologist Erik Wurz (University of Helsinki) takes us into a world most people never notice: animals that can look like paper sheets, chimneys, or giant vases, quietly pumping water through their bodies day and night. A football-sized sponge, he explains, could filter up to 30,000 liters of seawater per day, removing bacteria, particles, and dissolved matter and releasing ultra-clean water back into the ocean. But their role goes far beyond filtration. By transforming microscopic organic material into edible particles, sponges effectively kick-start marine food webs, making energy available to fish, invertebrates, and entire ecosystems. Without them, many marine habitats would struggle to sustain life.  In some parts of the deep sea, they even form vast “animal forests,” structures that provide shelter, breeding grounds, and feeding platforms for countless species. And yet, despite their importance, sponges remain largely invisible in public imagination  overshadowed by more charismatic marine animals. That’s something Erik hopes to change: “I hope this podcast helps make sponges cool.” The conversation also explores how climate change, sediment disturbance, and bottom trawling can disrupt sponge ecosystems with long-term consequences for fisheries, ocean health, and even potential biomedical discoveries hidden within sponge microbiomes. If Healthy Seas teams remove debris in marine habitats, sponges do something incredibly remarkable too — continuously and silently — by filtering, recycling, and sustaining the ocean from within. This episode invites us to look again at the seabed and many other places and notice the quiet workers already keeping it alive.

When Nature Has a Number on the Balance Sheet How the financial world is starting to recognize the value of ecosystems services In this episode of the Healthy Seas Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Ralph Chami — financial economist, former Assistant Director at the International Monetary Fund, and Co-Founder of Blue Green Future — to explore one of the most powerful shifts underway: integrating the value of nature’s services into economic and financial systems. From whales and seagrass to elephants and bison, Ralph’s work centers around measuring the economic contributions of living ecosystems and designing financial tools that recognize their role in climate regulation, biodiversity support, and human wellbeing. The goal? To accelerate funding for restoration and protection by making nature visible on the balance sheet. A Whale, a Shift, a New Vision The conversation begins with a deeply personal story: a moment in the Sea of Cortez that transformed Ralph’s life and career. From that encounter with a blue whale came a new path, one that brought together climate science, conservation, and high-level economics. Since then, Ralph has helped governments and organizations understand how to value nature’s services — not to commodify ecosystems, but to make the case for investing in their preservation and restoration. In the episode, you’ll hear about: Why whales can be worth millions over their lifetime through carbon storageHow forward contracts are being used to fund environmental restorationWhat makes a nature-based project “investable”Why markets are slow to respond — and what could unlock faster changeThe role of communities in managing and benefiting from ecosystem servicesThe risks of leaving nature outside the financial system, and how to avoid themWhen Oceans Meet Economics For companies, investors, and governments trying to build credible climate and biodiversity strategies, this episode offers a new lens. As Ralph puts it, valuing nature’s services isn’t about replacing conservation with markets — it’s about finally recognizing the systems we depend on, and funding their protection before it’s too late. It’s a bold reframe of where value lies, and how finance can be part of the solution. If you enjoyed this episode, please be sure to subscribe, rate and review it! This helps to boost its visibility.

Two marine scientists, one shipwreck, and a mission to uncover the hidden impacts of ghost nets. Beyond Cleanups: A New Kind of Mission In this episode of the Healthy Seas Podcast, we take you inside a groundbreaking project that combines our cleanup work with long-term scientific research. Together with our partner DWS, Healthy Seas is investigating how ghost nets affect biodiversity on shipwrecks—and what happens when they’re removed with the help of Ghost Diving volunteers. Our guests are Isadora Abuter and Ramona Reichert, two Healthy Seas marine scientists who joined the expedition in Greece. With host Crystal DiMiceli, they share what it was like to dive on the wreck, how they collected data underwater, and why science and storytelling must go hand in hand to protect the ocean. What You’ll Hear in This Episode  Why the Ionian Sea shipwreck was chosen as the study site  First impressions of the wreck—and the surprising life found on the ghost nets themselves  How the team measured biodiversity and microplastic pollution underwater  The importance of illustration and communication in bringing science to life  What comes next in phase two of this long-term project Why It Matters For Healthy Seas, every cleanup is more than removing waste—it’s an opportunity to learn, restore, and inspire. This project shows how science strengthens conservation, and how partnerships like the one with DWS open new possibilities for impact. As Isadora puts it: “Even the most important research has no impact if people cannot understand it. That’s why communication is key.” Learn more about the "Wrecks of Life: Tracking Biodiversity After the Nets" and our mission with DWS: https://www.healthyseas.org/blog/unseen-damage-how-ghost-nets-disrupt-marine-life-coral-growth-and-ocean-health/ If you enjoyed this episode, please be sure to subscribe, rate and review it!
