    193. Yes, Your Sunscreen Could Be Killing Coral Reefs with Katie Day
    Aug 18 2025
    Coral reefs are often called the “rainforests of the sea.” They provide habitat for an incredible diversity of marine life, protect shorelines from storms, and support the livelihoods of millions of people around the world. But reefs are also among the most threatened ecosystems on Earth. Rising ocean temperatures, pollution, and coastal development all play a role in their decline—and now, research shows that something as ordinary as the sunscreen we put on at the beach could be part of the problem.Certain chemical ingredients found commonly in sunscreens have been linked to coral bleaching, genetic damage in marine species, and even harm to the tiny phytoplankton that form the base of the ocean’s food chain. Some places, including Hawai‘i, have already banned these types of sunscreens in an effort to protect fragile reef ecosystems. But with labels like “reef-safe” popping up everywhere, it’s not always clear what’s marketing spin and what’s truly safe for our oceans.To help us untangle the science and policy behind sunscreen and reef health, we’re joined by Katie Day, Surfrider Foundation’s Senior Manager of Science and Policy. Katie grew up on a small island in the U.S. Virgin Islands, where her love for the ocean first began. With a Master’s Degree in Environmental Science and Management, she brings expertise in climate policy, water quality, and habitat management. At Surfrider, she helps guide national campaigns with the latest science, leads federal advocacy efforts, and heads up the organization’s annual Coastal Recreation Hill Day in Washington, D.C.

    USDA Forest Service Reorganization, NEPA Rollbacks, and New Mexico’s Oil & Gas Battles - Public Lands News (August 4 - 15)
    Aug 15 2025

    We’re back after a short break with an urgent update on threats to U.S. public lands, major environmental policy rollbacks, and ongoing oil and gas fights in New Mexico.

    Main Topics Covered:

    • USDA’s plan to reorganize and consolidate Forest Service operations.

    • The SPEED Act and its potential to roll back NEPA protections.

    • Oil and gas accountability battles in New Mexico: abandoned wells and fracking wastewater.

    • Sneak peek of the Ecocide pilot episode on the Boundary Waters mining threat.

  • We're Taking a Short Break - Back on August 15th

    We're Taking a Short Break - Back on August 15th
    Aug 8 2025

    We're taking a short break from regular episodes while we film our new YouTube series: Ecocide.

    Ecocide: the destruction of large areas of the natural environment as a consequence of human activity

    Ecocide is going to be an ongoing investigative video project that explores how extractive industries, like mining, impact wild spaces, clean water access, and outdoor recreation economies.

    Our first episode, launching early September, takes you into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, where we’re partnering with Friends of the Boundary Waters to examine the growing threats of copper-nickel mining and climate change.

    This series will be exclusively available on YouTube, and this episode is a pilot — a test run to gauge interest and support. If it resonates, we’ll grow it into a recurring reporting series.

    To stay independent, we rarely accept brand sponsorships. That means we rely on support from listeners and viewers like you.

    Want to help us produce more stories like this?

    → Donate directly: buymeacoffee.com/outdoorminimalist

    → Subscribe and share the video on YouTube once it launches.

    Thank you for supporting clean water, public lands, and responsible storytelling.

    We’ll be back with new podcast episodes on Friday, August 15.
