Resilient Earth Radio

Welcome to RESILIENT EARTH RADIO where we host speakers from the United States and around the world to talk about critical issues facing our planet and the positive actions people are taking. We also let our listeners learn how they can get involved and make a difference.

Hosts are Leigh Anne Lindsey, Producer @ Sea Storm Studios and Founder of Planet Centric Media, along with Scott & Tree Mercer, Founders of Mendonoma Whale & Seal Study which gathers scientific data that is distributed to other organizations like NOAA (National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration).

A focus of this podcast series are Nature-Based Economies that help rebalance the Earth and raise awareness about the value of whales, elephants, mangroves, seagrass, the deep seas, waterways and forests - our natural world - towards that rebalancing. This addresses the effects of our own human-caused climate change, and what we can do about it - from simple steps to grand gestures!

Global experts, citizen scientists, activists, fisher folk, and educators examine and explain ciritical issues facing our planet and actions people are taking to mitigate and rebalance climate. We discuss the critical role of carbon storage, and how it is essential for all life forms on earth.

This awareness could lead to new laws, policies and procedures to help protect these valuable resources, and encourage economies around them to replace the existing exploitation of oceans, forests, and animals.

Taking positive action, and getting people involved, that's our goal.

Bill Keener, Cetacean Field Research Associate, Marine Mammal Center Sausalito CA (Marin County)

Bill joined The Marine Mammal Center back in the 1970s as an animal care volunteer and later served as Exec. Dir. in the early 1980s. In his current role as a Research Associate on the Center’s Cetacean Field Research Team, he focuses on the study of whales, dolphins and porpoises. A co-founder of the former nonprofit Golden Gate Cetacean Research, Bill’s career highlights include the first-ever humpback whale and bottlenose dolphin photo-identification catalogs for San Francisco Bay, and a multi-year project to document the return of harbor porpoises to the Bay after an absence of 65 years.

Cetacean Research
Whales, Dolphins, Porpoises

His mission is not only to study local whales, dolphins and porpoises, but to introduce people to this wildlife spectacle in their own ‘backyard’ of the SF Bay. Scientific data and public awareness are both critical to ensure that these unique species are given the protections they deserve.
