New England Wildlife Through The Lens of a Local Legend | Shaped By The Sea

American Shoreline Podcast Network - A podcast by The American Shoreline Podcast Network

New England's coastline has changed significantly through the years, and Ron Watson has been a firsthand witness, both above and below sea level. Ron comes to the table with great stories from his life working as a professional diver, wildlife photographer, and volunteer for marine conservation organizations. We discuss the power that a simple photograph has in bringing joy to people who need it, and what cold-water surfing used to look like before the advent of modern wetsuit technologies! Join our philosophical conversations about the need for a conservation ethic in wildlife photography, and how passion, drive, and focus can pave the way for a career in marine conservation. As humans become increasingly inspired by the beauty of our natural world, education will be critical to ensuring that we don't 'love' wildlife to death.
