In this episode of the Tom Rowland Podcast, I sit down with Chris Fischer, the founder of OCEARCH, to delve into the incredible journey of uniting anglers and scientists for ocean conservation. From his early days hosting Offshore Adventures and Want to Go Fishing on ESPN to pivoting to groundbreaking shark research with OCEARCH, Chris shares his passion for ensuring future generations have abundant fish and thriving ecosystems.
We discuss the challenges and triumphs of tagging great white sharks, the development of the Global Shark Tracker, and the importance of collaboration between the fishing and scientific communities. Chris unveils exciting plans for the new OCEARCH headquarters in Jacksonville, Florida, aimed at creating the world's leading great white shark research station and training the next generation of marine biologists.
Whether you're an avid angler, a science enthusiast, or simply someone who cares about the ocean, this episode is packed with insights and inspiration. Join us for a fascinating conversation on how we can all play a part in ensuring a sustainable and abundant future for our oceans.
