In this Oceanographic Roundtable special, Eva Cahill dives deep into the Our Ocean conference.

In this special interview, Eva Cahil sits down with Oceanographic Magazine's newest Storyteller in Residence, Francesca Page to talk about her passion for storytelling, art, and what it really takes to dedicate your life to the sea.

A new charter formally recognises the entire catchment of the River Wye as a living ecosystem with intrinsic rights, making it the first river in the UK to receive cross-border protection of this kind.

In this episode, we dive deep into the waters of the Solent, where researchers have traced the toxic build-up back to treated sewage.

Environmental NGOs are demanding stricter government regulation, but what is the damage and who is responsible?

Puffins once bred in great numbers on a small British islet located off the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea, but that all changed in the 1790s when a shipwreck introduced brown long-tailed rats to the island which decimated the population.

In this special edition recording of Oceanographic's Roundtable, we dissect the media coverage of the stranded - and subsequent death - of the humpback whale nicknamed 'Timmy' and ask - was this €1.5 million rescue mission a question of concern, conservation, or a guilty conscience? And what does it mean for t he wider environmental problems that ocean life faces today?

The UK may officially moving away from North Sea oil and gas. In this episode, Eva Cahill explores the new Energy Independence Bill and what it means for the future of our oceans.

The Breakdown:

• The Big News: A permanent ban on new oil and gas licenses in the North Sea.

• The Trade-off: Why the massive rush to build offshore wind farms has some conservationists worried about marine habitats.

• The Security Angle: How the government plans to balance "green" energy with national security.

Is this a defining moment for marine conservation or just a new kind of industrial pressure? Tune in to find out.

In this special edition recording of Oceanographic's Roundtable, we dissect recent news that the collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC)  - the ocean mechanism responsible for moving heat around the planet - could lead to “devastating and irreversible impacts” for countries around the world.

A rare, red-listed seabird is being put at risk by Scotland’s annual guga hunt, a Freedom of Information request from animal campaign group Protect the Wild has revealed.

In this special edition recording of Oceanographic's Roundtable, we dissect a new bylaw shielding Sussex coast from bottom trawling, meaning that nearly a third of Sussex's inshore waters are now protected, safeguarding rare chalk reefs, seahorses and centuries-old marine habitats
