Ocean Conservancy's Chris Dorsett guides us through the mesopelagic zone, roughly 200 to 1,000 meters below the surface. The episode explores daily vertical migration, biodiversity, the biological carbon pump, and growing interest in industrial fishing and other uses of this little-known ecosystem. It also examines Motion 035 and the case for science-based protection before exploitation expands.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Support</strong> our science communication by joining us on <a href=\"https://patreon.com/PineForestMedia?utm_medium=unknown&amp;utm_source=join_link&amp;utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&amp;utm_content=copyLink\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Patreon</a> or sending us a gift on <a href=\"https://www.paypal.biz/pineforestmedia\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">PayPal</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Episode Guest</strong>: Chris Dorsett</p><p>Learn more about <a href=\"https://oceanconservancy.org/people/chris-dorsett/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Chris Dorsett </a>and <a href=\"https://oceanconservancy.org/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Ocean Conservency</a> here</p><p>Read <a href=\"https://iucncongress2025.org/assembly/motions/motion/035\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Motion 035</a></p><p>Follow the<a href=\"https://iucncongress2025.org/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> IUCN World Conference </a>and find the<a href=\"https://iucncongress2025.org/assembly/motions/list\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> full list of motions </a>here&nbsp;</p><p>Follow Ocean Conservancy on <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/oceanconservancy/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram</a> , <a href=\"https://bsky.app/profile/oceanconservancy.org\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Blue Sky,</a> <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/company/ocean-conservancy/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn</a></p><p><br></p><p>Episode Transcript&nbsp;and more information on the <a href=\"http://pineforestpods.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Pine Forest Media </a>website</p><p>Follow Pine Forest Media on Instagram <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/pineforestmedia/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@pineforestmedia</a></p><p>Hosted, produced, and edited by Clark Marchese&nbsp;</p><p>Cover art by<a href=\"https://jomiro.webflow.io/about\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> Jomiro Eming</a></p><p>Theme music by <a href=\"http://nelaruizcomposer.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Nela Ruiz</a></p><p><br></p><p>Find some more Pine Forest Media podcasts below:</p><p>Listen to South Pole on <a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/show/292f9HcD3eCI2V6hLQG2Hi?si=j0TSZkmgQNWy4WCPfNHMXQ\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify</a> or <a href=\"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/south-pole/id1748730442\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Apple Podcasts</a></p><p>Listen to Plastic Podcast on <a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/show/4Iv20PynWeNKEZtq5O5UOj?si=MW-ZYI8zS0mUroec9T_lfA\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify</a> or <a href=\"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/plastic-podcast/id1737963995\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Apple Podcasts</a></p><p>Listen to Something in the Water on <a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/show/5HGQytPxV6FfcX03OUBXYf?si=YszhS8C4ToafplCEsEErAQ\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify</a> or <a href=\"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/something-in-the-water/id1740586381\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Apple Podcasts</a></p>","author_name":"Pine Forest Media | Environmental Science Podcasts"}
