  • Healthy Reef's Report Card
    Feb 10 2025
    In this episode of 'Rising Tide, the Ocean podcast,' hosts David Helvarg and Vicki Nichols Goldstein interview Melanie McField, the founder and director of Healthy Reefs for Healthy People. Melanie shares her journey from a childhood interest in marine biology to her work in Belize with the Peace Corps and beyond. She discusses the creation of the world's first science-based coral reef report card, which evaluates the health of the Mesoamerican Reef, the second-largest coral reef system globally. Melanie details the indicators used in the report card, including coral cover, macro-algae levels, herbivorous fish populations, and commercial fish stocks. She explains the impact of COVID-19 on fishing practices and reef health, the importance of protected areas, and the ongoing challenges of pollution and nutrient management. The conversation also touches on global reef stressors like coral bleaching and disease and the potential for coral restoration projects. Melanie expresses cautious optimism for the future, citing the dedication of conservation groups and innovative restoration efforts. ** Links & Resources ** Reef Report: https://www.healthyreefs.org/en/healthy-reefs-data/report-cards Support the Rising Tide and donate to Blue Frontier: bluefront.app.neoncrm.com/forms/donation Your gift of any size will help bring communities together to protect our coasts and ocean.

  • Salmon State Revisited with Tim Bristol
    Jan 27 2025
    Last fall we spoke with a University of Alaska scientist about the state of salmon. Today we speak with Tim Bristol, the Director of ‘Salmon State’, a Juneau based environmental initiative to protect and sustain Alaska’s wild salmon that include some of the largest runs in the world. But all’s not well in their river and ocean home. Working with Alaska Native people, commercial fishermen, river guides, and conservationists Salmon State aims to protect and restore these iconic fish. We talk with Tim about some of the challenges they face from mining, logging, offshore factory trawlers and of course climate change. We’ll also discuss the mixed signals Alaska’s getting on how the new Trump administration may deal with salmon. So, join us for a fascinating and informative episode. ** Links & Resources ** Salmon State: https://salmonstate.org/ Wild salmon power our economy, sustain our communities, underpin traditions, and fill our bellies.

Richard, whose been a leader of citizen campaigns to protect offshore waters for 48 years discusses the legal strength of Biden’s declaration, the difficulties incoming president Donald Trump will have in trying to reverse these protections and why he thinks this is one of the greatest environmental victories since the establishment of our national parks.
