The podcast dedicated to womxn and the ocean.
By sharing the inspiring stories of modern day mermaids around the world who work in the ocean science and marine conservation fields, this podcast promotes ocean literacy and empathy, while championing access, agency, and equity for women and their allies in ocean conservation, leadership, and STEM fields.
The podcast is hosted by Danni Washington and executive produced by Mariasole Bianco, and Dr. Erika Woolsey and Washington, three women who are scientists, ocean explorers, educators, and ocean advocates. Plus, they happen to consider themselves to be real life mermaids.
