Marine Scientists Pioneer Ocean Solutions to Build Climate Resilience
Affiliate Disclosure
Hey fellow impactful ninja ?
You may have noticed that Impactful Ninja is all about providing helpful information to make a positive impact on the world and society. And that we love to link back to where we found all the information for each of our posts.
Most of these links are informational-based for you to check out their primary sources with one click.
But some of these links are so-called "affiliate links" to products that we recommend.
Why do we add these product links?
First and foremost, because we believe that they add value to you. For example, when we wrote a post about the environmental impact of long showers, we came across an EPA recommendation to use WaterSense showerheads. So we linked to where you can find them. Or, for many of our posts, we also link to our favorite books on that topic so that you can get a much more holistic overview than one single blog post could provide.
And when there is an affiliate program for these products, we sign up for it. For example, as Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases.
What do these affiliate links mean for you?
First, and most importantly, we still only recommend products that we believe add value for you.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission - but at no additional costs to you.
And when you buy something through a link that is not an affiliate link, we won’t receive any commission but we’ll still be happy to have helped you.
What do these affiliate links mean for us?
When we find products that we believe add value to you and the seller has an affiliate program, we sign up for it.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission (at no extra costs to you).
And at this point in time, all money is reinvested in sharing the most helpful content with you. This includes all operating costs for running this site and the content creation itself.
What does this mean for me personally?
You may have noticed by the way Impactful Ninja is operated that money is not the driving factor behind it. It is a passion project of mine and I love to share helpful information with you to make a positive impact on the world and society. However, it's a project in that I invest a lot of time and also quite some money.
Eventually, my dream is to one day turn this passion project into my full-time job and provide even more helpful information. But that's still a long time to go.

💬 One key quote: “Healthier seas mean our planet will be much better able to weather the stormy seas of the climate crisis.”
1️⃣ The big picture: A groundbreaking collaboration between The Conversation and BBC South West called ‘Secrets of the Sea‘ is bringing crucial marine research into the spotlight. The series follows environment editor Anna Turns as she travels around coastal locations in Devon and Cornwall to meet with six marine scientists at the forefront of ocean research. These experts are exploring innovative solutions across fields like seaweed cultivation, seagrass restoration, and offshore shellfish farming. Their work demonstrates how healthy oceans can play a vital role in building climate resilience, offering both local insights and global applications for environmental challenges.
2️⃣ Why is this good news: Marine scientists across southwest England are developing cutting-edge approaches to improve ocean health that could help address climate challenges. Their research spans multiple areas including seabed restoration, marine fungi study, and offshore aquaculture, providing diverse pathways toward environmental solutions. The collaboration between academic expertise and public broadcasting makes this valuable scientific knowledge accessible to wider audiences. By focusing on both local coastal ecosystems and their global significance, this initiative highlights practical, regional-based solutions to worldwide environmental issues. The series intentionally approaches marine science with optimism, showing how oceans can become allies rather than victims in the fight against climate change.
3️⃣ What’s next: The radio series will begin with four short episodes on BBC Radio Devon from May 20th-23rd. Following that, the complete six-part series will air weekly beginning May 23rd at 8:30pm on both BBC Radio Devon and BBC Radio Cornwall.
