For decades, stunning shark photographs have shaped the way millions of people think about these misunderstood predators. But behind every unforgettable image is a story that rarely gets told. In this episode of Beyond Jaws, we sit down with Manique Fallows to explore the passion, patience, and purpose behind a life dedicated to sharks.

Monique shares how photography became more than a way to capture wildlife. It became a powerful tool for conservation, storytelling, and helping people connect with animals they often fear. We also talk about her work as an author, her experiences in the field, and what it is like building a life around some of the ocean's most iconic species.

Whether you love sharks, wildlife photography, or inspiring stories from people making a difference for the ocean, this conversation offers a fresh perspective. You'll come away with a deeper appreciation for the people behind the lens and why their work matters now more than ever.

Ocean careers rarely follow a straight line. In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean, Dave Ebert takes over the host chair to interview Andrew Lewin about his career journey, from marine biology and consulting to podcasting, science communication, and his new role as Ocean Communications Manager with Pisces Ocean.

Andrew shares how choosing family, living away from the coast, and building a podcast over many years helped shape a different kind of ocean career. The episode explores why storytelling matters in marine conservation, how podcasting can build real professional networks, and why science communication is becoming a powerful tool for ocean impact.

This episode is for anyone trying to build a career in marine science, ocean conservation, science communication, or environmental storytelling, especially if your path does not look traditional.
