the OCEAN PROJECT is a podcast about the three oceans surrounding Canada and the communities that rely on them.
Oceans North created this podcast to investigate the most pressing issues facing the Arctic, Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and the crucial role Indigenous peoples play in marine conservation. Join co-hosts Colleen Turlo, an expert in marine conservation, and Bob Keating, an award-winning journalist, on a journey to explore what lies beneath the waves.
