The Ocean Impact Podcast

You can’t manage what you don’t measure. This is just one of the gems that Jayson Berryhill, co-founder and CEO of Wholechain, dropped in this episode of the podcast. As he says, it’s astounding how little we measure when it comes to how we use resources such as the ocean and what comes out of it. Wholechain is a blockchain-based solution for enhancing traceability in supply chains, making visible the unseen. It’s capable of both producing and consuming data across the supply chain, breaking down not just the chain of custody but the entire chain of events in a standardised way. Not only can this impact ocean health, but climate health too. Enabling us to better manage critical resources like the ocean and broader environment. → https://www.ocean-impact.org/podcast/tech-to-make-the-seafood-supply-chain-visible-with-jayson-berryhill

The fisheries sector plays an important role in social & economic development in many countries around the world, including Tanzania, which is where the founder and CEO of NovFeed – Diana Orembe – joins us from in this episode. Diana charts a course from her childhood connection to local waterways and fisheries, to her career as a microbiologist, to starting NovFeed. NovFeed is addressing two problems in tandem – the impacts of traditional fish feed and the problem of food waste – to bring both environmental and economic benefits to communities that need it most with their novel products. → https://www.ocean-impact.org/podcast/turning-food-waste-into-fish-feed-with-diana-orembe

One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish. You may know this children’s book, but did you know that video footage from fishing vessels is manually reviewed in a similar way? OnDeck Fisheries AI is tackling this challenge with its automated catch monitoring platform that aims to make review faster and more affordable. We chat to CEO and co-founder Alexander Dungate about how OnDeck is working on scalable monitoring solutions that can be deployed around the world, and some of the real-world benefits. Including data sovereignty for Indigenous Nations, enhancing seafood traceability, enabling sustainable fisheries management, and much more. → https://www.ocean-impact.org/podcast/making-fisheries-monitoring-accessible-and-scalable-with-alexander-dungate
