If you scroll through social media long enough, you’ll notice a pattern: oceans are everywhere. Free divers gliding into blue voids. Scuba divers hovering over coral like they belong there. Snorkellers floating on the surface like they’ve unlocked some kind of secret portal to another world. Ocean content has never been more accessible, or more…
Aquariums are often presented as windows into the ocean, places where people can admire marine life, learn about conservation, and connect with species they would never otherwise see. And in many ways, that is true. They can inspire curiosity, education, and care for the ocean. But what we are shown is only part of the…
Killing sharks can be sustainable, even beneficial.The problem? Most of the time, it isn’t. Coming from a self-confessed shark fanatic, I know how that sounds. But after years of digging into the realities of the global shark fishing industry, one thing has become clear: this isn’t a simple good vs bad narrative. Poorly managed fisheries,…
From heatstroke to under-fuelling to 140m of elevation, training for the London Marathon 2026 was far from your typical training block. I have never pushed myself so hard mentally and physically for a race before, and I would change nothing. I loved every moment of it. Well… if you asked my friends, who often received…
At one point during this retreat, I was fully convinced someone had planted a grenade inside my cheekbone… Turns out, it was my first-ever dental squeeze, AKA dental barotrauma. And honestly?

Okay… let’s make one thing crystal clear before we dive in.Radical isn’t a political blog. But the ocean doesn’t exist outside of politics. International treaties shape how we protect marine life, respond to climate change, and cooperate across borders. When those agreements are weakened, abandoned, or reshaped, the consequences don’t stay on paper, they ripple…
2026 is shaping up to be one of the most important years for ocean conservation yet. From landmark international treaties entering into force to critical decisions on deep-sea mining and marine protection, the year ahead could help define the future of our oceans. The pressure is on, and let’s be honest, navigating global decision- making…
As I spend yet another Christmas down under, happily trading cold mornings and grey skies for sun-kissed shoulders and salty hair, I’ve found myself reflecting on what the ocean has taught me about giving, loving, and living. Not in a loud or preachy way, but in the quiet lessons you only notice when you slow…
Why our oceans (and our bodies) are becoming plastified and what can we actually do about it? If you’re a diver, surfer, scientist, beach bum, or simply a human being who hasn’t been living under a rock for the last twenty years, you already know this: we have a plastic problem… And not a mild,…
