Ocean Echoes is a podcast that amplifies the voices of the ocean – from the crashing waves to the scientists working to protect marine life. Each episode explores the stories, research, and challenges shaping our blue planet. Like echoes that travel across the sea, these conversations carry important messages about climate change, conservation, and the deep connection between humans and the marine world. Tune in and let the ocean speak 🐚🎧
Today, we’re meeting Adrienne Gooden, a PhD candidate from the National Marine Science Center researching white sharks. We’ll learn more about her work, her background, and the journey that led her to where she is today.
But I’m not alone for this episode! I’m joined by Jaycie Pickworth, who co-hosted the podcast and helped me ask Adrienne some of our questions. Jaycie is a second-year Bachelor of Marine Science student and, of course, a huge shark lover!
I hope you enjoy this episode and learn a little more about what it’s really like to study white sharks!
