In this episode of Reef Ramble, host Manny Katz chats with Josh Kirkman, CEO of Surfers for Climate — a grassroots movement uniting surfers and ocean lovers to take meaningful action on climate change. Recorded at Surfers for Climate’s buzzing Paddington headquarters, Manny and Josh dive into: 🌊 The launch of their new documentary “Sea Sick”, now streaming on the Surfers for Climate website. 🏄♂️ How the surfing community is stepping up as a powerful voice for climate advocacy. 🔥 The realities of coastal impacts and what local communities can do to adapt and protect their beaches. 💬 The importance of connecting lifestyle, activism, and ocean stewardship in a changing climate. Whether you’re a surfer, diver, or just someone who cares about the sea, this episode is packed with insights on how collective action can turn the tide for our planet.
Join us for an inspiring conversation with Dr. Alex Schnell — a comparative animal psychologist and world-leading researcher in cephalopod cognition. From cuttlefish and octopus to other non-aquatic Animalia, Alex investigates how minds evolve, how animals remember and decide, and how intelligence takes surprising forms. As a National Geographic Explorer and acclaimed filmmaker (with credits including Blue Planet II, Planet Earth III, and Secrets of the Octopus), she brings scientific insight to the screen and beyond. Tune in as we chat remotely from our home offices, peel back the mysteries of the ocean’s most remarkable creatures, and explore how reconnecting with animal minds might just reshape how we view ourselves.
