Centers around themes of marine protection, technology for conservation, and personal stories of changemakers, with episodes discussing topics such as the integration of AI in ocean data management and innovative coral restoration techniques, and highlighting individual journeys from different backgrounds in ocean advocacy.
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).

A Princeton-educated architect walks into a water treatment plant and violently shakes microplastics into a bathtub.
What sounds like a joke written by an intoxicated AI is reality for Nathaniel Banks.
In this episode, we explore how thinking through problems from start to finish can help with the daunting task of solving the microplastic problem.
Nathaniel is CEO & Co-Founder of PolyGone. Nature inspired their filter technology, which can remove microplastics from different kinds of waterways.
We discuss how they came up with the idea, how they got it to work, and where the technology needs to go to have a significant impact.
Get a glimpse into a mind that microplastics obviously haven't had any impact on yet.
Key Topics:
The scale and health impacts of microplastic pollution
How aquatic plants inspired a revolutionary filtration technology
