A Deep Dive with Brady Bradshaw

Before beginning work as the Senior Oceans Campaigner for the Center for Biological Diversity in 2022, Brady played key roles in fighting off multiple waves of approvals for expanded federal offshore drilling under multiple Presidential Administrations, decisively defeating the largest offshore drilling proposal in history under former President Trump. In his work with the nonprofit Oceana, he also succeeded in securing kwy support for a national ban on shark fin sales and trade in the United States. His current work involves holding the existing oil industry accountable for the damage they have caused at sea, and forcing them to shut down their dangerous operations.Brady is a competitive freediver and has broken US national record 13 times, and North American continental records 4 times. As a passionate waterman and environmental activist, Brady has spent much of his life in water sports, marine biology studies, and ocean conservation. He graduated from UNC Wilmington with Honors in Marine Biology and went on to study for a short time on the Great Barrier Reef. He believes that human health, community empowerment, and ocean health are inseparable. As a competitive free diver and body surfer, he knows that the power of experience in the ocean can motivate us to protect it at all costs.  After flying over the BP Oil Disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, Brady made a vow: to eliminate the threat of the oil industry at sea so that life can thrive and recover in the absence of seismic airgun blasts and oil spills.Connect with Brady:https://www.instagram.com/bradyorca/ Journal Prompt:My Offerings: Harmony in the Forest, Brunswick, GAInlighten Retreat, PanamaSupport the showThanks for listening and for your friendship.
