‘Out of our bubble’

Abandoned, Lost and Discarded Fishing Gear is not the only thing that’s often overlooked, we also forget to tell people about it. Join me and my first guest Lydia to take a deep(ish) dive into all things ghost gear, from the very beginning.

We don't need to go to the year 3000 to find out we've been doing all sorts underwater. This episode on aquaculture will give you the down low on how we produce the seafood we need to keep up with demand. But is it the silver bullet we need for seafood sustainability? Join me and our next guest Rob to see where some of your seafood comes from.

A fish dish is often served with a side of salad or maybe fries, but what if I told you these aren’t the only extras it comes with. From sea to service, join me and our next guest Georgia to tackle the topic of bycatch.

Out of sight, out of mind sadly doesn't mean the Ocean is immune to fishing pressure. Despite its vastness and natural ability to replenish, even the sea is struggling to keep up with the demand we place on its resources. This episode on overfishing takes a little look at the state of the sea, the fish stocks within it and what some solutions might look like. Join me and our next guest Clare to tackle some commonly (or not so commonly) asked questions.

When we talk about the word fishing, it’s so often associated with the commercial sector, but there are plenty who like to do it for fun too! Recreational angling is in fact the largest participatory sport in Britain…and you all thought it was footie. Join me and my latest guest Jamus, as we cast our minds into the world of fishing for fun, the good, the bad and the fish's point of view.

As a way of rounding off the first season of Out of Our Bubble, we are joined by Jasmine Somerville, fisheries scientists and PhD at the University of Exeter, to look back at all of the questions we couldn't answer at the time.

From teeth to tails and everything in between, in this series we’re talking all things shark with fun facts, fishery issues, and fascinating research. In this first episode we welcome back Lydia, our queen of questions so get ready for some serious mental whiplash as we cover it all in our first episode of the series!

Attacks are one of the few things about sharks that make it to mainstream media, but that doesn’t mean what you’re being told is always accurate. This episode we chat to Charlie, a keen surfer, to put the media coverage of shark attacks under the microscope for further inspection - splitting truth from toil.
