12 New Episodes Exploring the Marvels and Perils of the Ocean

The second season consists of 12 meticulously crafted episodes that explore the awe-inspiring wonders of marine life while shedding light on critical issues threatening our oceans. Topics covered include:

The Splendor of Marine Life – Discover vibrant coral reefs, playful dolphins, ancient turtles, and other oceanic species.
The Growing Threats – Examine the dangers of deep-sea mining, overfishing, and climate-induced damage to marine habitats.
Expedition to the Arctic Circle – Experience firsthand Greenpeace’s latest scientific expedition aboard the iconic Arctic Sunrise, where experts gathered crucial data to strengthen the fight against deep-sea mining in the region.

Captivating Storytelling from the Heart of the Ocean

The podcast series was recorded across multiple global locations, including the Arctic Circle, allowing listeners to experience raw and authentic stories from the frontlines of ocean conservation. Notably, the Greenpeace team projected the podcast’s logo onto an iceberg as a powerful visual statement against environmental destruction.

Returning as the host is esteemed wildlife filmmaker, zoologist, and broadcaster Hannah Stitfall, whose engaging storytelling brings marine conservation to life for listeners worldwide.

‘Oceans Are Life’ – A Call to Protect 30% of the World’s Oceans

The Oceans: Life Under Water podcast is a crucial part of Greenpeace UK’s “Oceans Are Life” campaign, an initiative advocating for the protection of at least 30% of the world’s oceans by 2030 and the prohibition of deep-sea mining.

Crowd Network and Greenpeace’s Expanding Partnership

This collaboration further solidifies the longstanding relationship between Crowd Network and Greenpeace. Apart from the Oceans podcast, the two organizations have worked together on SystemShift, a Greenpeace International podcast that has successfully completed two series.

Industry Leaders Speak on the Impact of the Podcast

Mike Carr, CEO of Crowd Network

“We’re always exploring new ways to push creative boundaries and engage audiences. The second series of Oceans allowed us to do exactly that.

“Recording this series from the heart of the Arctic Circle was an unforgettable experience, bringing Greenpeace UK’s mission to life in an immersive and powerful way.

“The Crowd team continues to elevate our production capabilities, drawing in listeners with compelling storytelling. Oceans is a prime example of how we innovate in audio content.”

James Hanson, Head of Communications & Engagement, Greenpeace UK

“2025 is a crucial year for ocean conservation, with key international summits and policy decisions on the horizon.

“We’ve witnessed the podcast’s ability to reach new audiences, including those previously less engaged in climate discussions. It has encouraged meaningful participation in ocean conservation efforts.

“The overwhelming success of season one reaffirmed our belief in this collaboration with Crowd Network. Launching season two was the next natural step, and we’re eager to see the impact it will have.”
