When Norah Hale was 9 years old, she set out on a sponsored walk to raise money for the Community of Arran Seabed Trust. Ever since then, she's been inspired by British wildlife. Now 14 years old, this episode was recorded on the day she finished a week of work experience with COAST. In this episode, we chat about Norah's love of Arran, scuba diving and her path towards a career in conservation.
Something Old: Swimming in the sea at Lyme Regis, Jurassic Coast.
Something New: Small communities making a difference, feeling hopeful that there are still good people in the world. The discovery of a new seagrass meadow at the north of Arran.
Something Borrowed: Growing up watching David Attenborough documentaries, feeling inspired by Steve Backshall and valuable encouragement from her mum. Benny the Blenny by Paul Naylor.
Something Blue: Anywhere on Arran, and visiting Lyme Regis with family.
A song for a love letter: Civilian by Wye Oak

The hope with this podcast is to bring a tiny dose of blue wherever in the world you're listening...to remind ourselves as a global community of ocean lovers that there is hope for the future of our waterways.
Sending you all the ocean love,
Lily xx
