About Where The Ocean Meets:

My biggest life regret? Studying business instead of marine biology. 💔 The ocean fills me with happiness, wonder, and fascination—yet I know so little about it. By day, I fight ocean plastic pollution to make amends. By night, I create this show. ☯️ This podcast is my journey, as an amateur ocean enthusiast, to explore the ocean as an ecosystem, playground, and economic powerhouse—no expertise required to dive in (though experts might enjoy hearing from their colleagues). If you're curious about the force covering 70% of our planet and sustaining life, join me—listen and follow now. 🌊

   Is The Species That Produces Our Oxygen In Trouble?

   What if we could travel through the ocean’s past to understand its future? Joel speaks with Elisa Shaum about the tiny organisms that could play a huge role in how our planet responds to climate change: phytoplankton. By reviving organisms that have been dead for up to 200 years, studying different ocean environments, and watching evolution unfold in the lab, Elisa and her team are uncovering how phytoplankton adapt as the oceans get warmer. And the results are surprisingly hopeful. These tiny organisms don’t just support marine life. They absorb carbon, produce oxygen, and help regulate our climate. As Elisa puts it: without phytoplankton, there would be no human life. So what will the oceans of the future look like? Can these tiny organisms evolve fast enough to keep up? Tune in to find out.
