“An important part of looking after the ocean is that you’ve got to look after the seabirds”

If we were able to wave a magic wand and remove introduced rats from oceanic islands, is that enough to protect our seabirds? Pete Carr is an expert on birds in the Indian Ocean and, in this bonus episode of Ocean Matters, he explains to host Helen Czerski the importance to restoring native vegetation on our important seabird islands.

Our ocean is the earth's defining feature.

But the blue of our blue planet is so much more than just a colour. It is rich with life and plays an important role in keeping our planet stable and healthy. Worryingly, we are seeing our ocean change, for the worse.

In Ocean Matters, join oceanographer and physicist Helen Czerski as she meets the scientists who are working to save our ocean and marine life in one of the most remote parts of our planet.  Together, we’ll explore how the cutting-edge marine science research that’s going on there – and other places we visit - is helping to protect species across the world, and better understand what needs to be done to save our seas.
