Deep-sea mining, marine protected areas, and the eternal struggle to open doors: This Week in Andrew (and Angelo) Doing Podcasts

Posted on May 7, 2025 By Andrew Thaler
Blogging, Policy, Science

It’s another podcast round-up!

I was on how to Protect the Ocean talking about the most recent developments in deep-sea mining.

Angelo and I caught up with Beth Pike of Marine Conservation Institute for Deep Day, to talk about marine protected areas, mining, and fishing.

And over on my very silly ocean science Dungeons and Dragons podcast, the gang struggles to open a door.

Content! Made by Humans!
