Explore Marine Biodiversity with The Walden Watch

If you’re curious about the ocean and its ecosystems, The Walden Watch is a fascinating podcast to check out. Hosted by Reginald Walden, a University of New Haven Marine Biology graduate, the show dives into marine and estuarine invasive species—how they spread, the ecological impact they have, and approaches to managing them.

Reginald produced this podcast in 2019 as part of his senior thesis, bringing together his experience as an Eagle Scout, former park ranger with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Cape Cod Canal, and his deep passion for protecting biodiversity. Episodes take listeners from local beaches to the depths of the oceans, exploring the science and history behind invasive species and the ongoing challenges they pose to ecosystems and economies alike.

Even years later, The Walden Watch remains a compelling resource for students, environmental enthusiasts, or anyone interested in the unseen forces shaping our oceans. It’s a mix of education, science, and curiosity—a look at the ways humans interact with marine life and how we can help protect it.

Check it out for an engaging dive into the world of marine invasives and the science that helps us understand and manage them.
