Join us as we explore the cutting-edge world of underwater technology with Liz Taylor, President of DOER Marine Operations. Discover how this innovative company has been transforming ocean exploration since 1992, from developing human-occupied submersibles to creating mobile science labs from shipping containers.

In this fascinating conversation, Liz shares the story behind the Hannu project - a groundbreaking initiative creating dual-purpose submersibles for scientific research and tourism in Mission Blue Hope Spots. Learn how DOER is tackling "parachute science" by building local capacity and creating sustainable ocean exploration models.

As the daughter of legendary oceanographer Dr. Sylvia Earle, Liz brings a unique perspective on ocean conservation and the importance of direct human observation in understanding marine ecosystems. She challenges us to take "the hundred-year view" on ocean stewardship while sharing exciting developments in underwater technology.

Whether you're interested in marine technology, sustainable tourism, or ocean conservation, this episode offers an inspiring look at innovative approaches to exploring and protecting our blue planet.

In this episode, we are highlighting the work of one marine biologist in particular whose research gives us a better understanding of how fish evolved through their bone structure. Specifically Dr. Kory Evans of Rice University, a Doctor who has spent a LOT of time looking at fish bones and went viral a few years ago after sharing a scan of a surprising interaction between two species.
