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 critical 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.

Dr. Josh McInnis Determining the Ecology and Community Structure of West Coast Transient Killer Whales along the Pacific Coast Canada-Baja
Watch the video of his presentation here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/nZ4NgdnmFf8
This episode is about Dr. Josh McInnis who presented at our 6th Annual Ocean Life Symposium October 2024. Topic: Determining the Ecology and Community Structure of West Coast Transient Killer Whales in the Northeastern Pacific. Josh is from the windy seaside city of Victoria BC, Canada. His research focuses on the ecology and behaviour of marine mammals in British Columbia and Monterey Bay, California, with studies focusing on the foraging behaviour, diet, and ecology of transient (Bigg’s) killer whales and Risso’s Dolphins. They gather information with the help of NOAA, Oregon State University, Pacific Wildlife Foundation, ACCESS (which we interviewed before), and a bunch of whale watchers from Canada to Baja.

Transient killer whales have been documented hunting marine mammals across a variety of habitats. However, relatively little has been reported about their predatory behaviours near deep submarine canyons and oceanic environments. We used a long-term database of sightings and encounters with these pre
