Paul Geason is the CEO of Wave Swell Energy, a renewable energy start-up from Australia that is taking a novel approach to capturing the energy from our waves and converting them into big ocean energy.

The Wave Swell Energy (WSE) technology is based on the well-established concept of the oscillating water column (OWC). What's an OWC? You'll have to listen to the episode to find out. Hint: It'll blow you away...

Epic Convo Alert.

Dr. Scott Bennett leads the scientific advisory panel of the Great Southern Reef project.

Born and raised surfing and diving the reefs of Tasmania, Scott has studied the kelp forest ecosystems of Australia in depth right across the country throughout his career as a marine scientist. Devoted to temperate marine research and the effect of ocean warming on temperate reef species, Dr Bennett was recently awarded the highly prestigious Australian Research Council Discovery Early Career Researcher award.

Currently based in Tasmania, his upcoming research aims to enhance the capacity to detect vulnerable areas of the Great Southern Reef.

We've been so flat out with all our other programs that we nearly forgot that we have a podcast of our very own to keep pumping out to y'all.

This one is a beauty with the legendary Maria Nilsson from Atmosea.

Atmosea is an invitation to the celebration of freedom, inclusivity and community. We wear our armour as a message of power and pride in liberating ourselves from expectations and intimidations. Atmosea is more than sheathing you with comfort, practicality and flair, it is a culture that allows for people to harbour their differences, creating a nurturing and accepting environment for female surfers across the globe. We are empowered women empowering other women as these suits connect us towards a more progressive and all-encompassing surfing community.

Atmosea is also a very much valued member of our Sustainable Supply Club Membership as well as a regular raffle partner at our Salty Brains Surf Trivia events.

This podcast interview was hosted by our very own Clare Sullivan, who offers sustainability consulting and services through Surfers For Climate.

In this episode of Carpark Convos we catch up with CEO and Co-Founder of Bloom Impact Camille Socquet-Clerc to discuss how our money and savings can make a significant climate impact.

Bloom Impact is also a Surfers For Climate Silver Business Donor and can't thank them enough for supporting us.
