So You Want to Be a Marine Biologist

108. Eve Samples: Rescuing the River of Grass, Cultivating Advocacy, How to Get Involved, and Becoming a Friend of the Everglades


Listen Later

It’s funny how we can start off in life thinking that we’re going to do one thing, and end up pivoting to something totally different. Today’s guest is Eve Samples, Executive Director of Friends of the Everglades. In this episode we dive into a myriad of topics from career shifts to what one spark of activism can mean for a community.

Eve shares the legacy of Marjory Stoneman Douglas, the woman who helped the world see the Everglades as more than just a swamp. She shares how her career pivoted from newsroom deadlines to leading grassroots efforts in the fight for clean water. Plus, we break down the Rescue the River of Grass campaign and what it means for the future of South Florida’s waterways. This episode in particular is near and dear to my heart because we explore the history of the waters where I live and how greatly– and very intentionally–  they’ve been impacted.
