What are the long-term impacts of marine heatwaves?
As the world heats up, the oceans do, too. In this episode of Ocean Calls, we’re looking at the damaging, long-term effects of marine heatwaves. We’ll delve into their impacts on corals and fish, and discuss what can be done to help ecosystems to better weather the storm.
We talk to the Deputy Director of Europe's Copernicus Climate Change Service, Samantha Burgess, and Pippa Moore, Professor of Marine Science at Newcastle University.
At the end of the episode, you’ll hear from Chloë McCardel, an Australian swimmer nicknamed the ‘queen of the English Channel’ who established a world record after crossing it 44 times. She’ll share a story of endurance, vulnerability - and meeting a bunch of jellyfish.

Invasive species: Danger or untapped potential?
Should we beat them, or eat them? In this episode of Ocean Calls, we’re embarking on a journey to unravel the mysteries of invasive species in EU waters. They unsettle the delicate balance of marine ecosystems, so what can we do about them?
Approximately 20 new non-native fish and plants are discovered in European waters annually, with some 70% of them found lurking in the Mediterranean.
We call on the expertise of João Canning-Clode, Chairman of the Invasive Species Expert Group at ICES, the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea and Voula Karachle, an expert on invasive species from the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research.
At the end of the episode, you'll hear the story of Amjad Almatni, a young Syrian activist from a drought-affected region in Syria, recounting the magical moment when he saw the ocean for the first time in his life.

What’s the secret recipe for restoring fish stocks?
Will there ever be more fish in the sea? Almost 90% of all marine fish stocks globally are now fully exploited or overfished, according to a study from the World Bank. In the Mediterranean region alone, more than 40% of marine mammals and a third of the total fish population have been lost in just half a century.
However, there does appear to be some hope for the future of the fishing industry, as new rules come into force.
To learn more about the new European regulations concerning overfishing, listen to the full episode of Ocean Calls in the player above.
In this episode of Ocean Calls, we're diving deep into this controversial issue and seeking solutions to help fish stocks recover.
We hear from Daniel Voces, managing director of Europêche, which represents the fishery industry in the EU, and Louis Lambrechts, European Ocean Policy officer at WWF.
At the end of the episode, you’ll also hear from Sy Montgomery, an award-winning author and naturalist. You won’t want to miss her story about the time she met and bonded with Athena, a giant Pacific octopus.
