New Podcast Episode: Cliff Kapono on Science, Surf, and the Future of Island Resilience

The latest episode of The Buoy Report Podcast is now live.

I'm joined by Dr. Cliff Kapono, a Hawaiian bio-scientist, environmental advocate, and big wave surfer whose work lives at the intersection of modern science and indigenous knowledge. Cliff brings a rare perspective—one rooted in the chemistry of ecosystems and the lived experience of island life.

In this episode, we dive into:

* The molecular science of coral reefs and coastal systems

* Indigenous knowledge as a tool for modern sustainability

* The energy behind big waves and cultural identity

* What resilience means in the face of climate change, especially in Hawai‘i

If you're interested in climate, surf, regenerative systems, or cultural science, this one’s for you.
