There is so much information on the ocean and the issues that are affecting it that it can be difficult to find optimism in the future of the ocean. Climate change, overfishing, plastic pollution, water pollution, and coastal development have altered the ocean in ways that have negatively changed the way we use it. The repercussions of climate change, including the ominous specter of rising sea levels, the relentless march of warming ocean temperatures, and the ominous shadow of ocean acidification, have not only altered the very fabric of our coastlines but have also conjured fie…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-07T16:19:35.408605+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/how-to-protect-the-ocean-2010"},"episode":{"title":"The Tiny Fish Holding the Ocean Together Are at Risk","slug":"the-tiny-fish-holding-the-ocean-together-are-at-risk","published_at":"2026-05-20T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/how-to-protect-the-ocean-2010/the-tiny-fish-holding-the-ocean-together-are-at-risk","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/how-to-protect-the-ocean-2010","url":"https://www.speakupforblue.com/podcast","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/scicon/HTPTO_E1940_ForageFish_ClimateChangeSmallFishMoreImportant.mp3?dest-id=228444","summary":"Small fish like sardines, anchovies, herring, and capelin may not get much attention, but they quietly power entire ocean ecosystems. In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean , we explore why forage fish are some of the most important species in the sea and how climate change could disrupt the food web in ways scientists are only beginning to understand. As oceans warm and ecosystems shift, the abundance and location of these small fish are changing. That matters because whales, salmon, tuna, seabirds, cod, and countless marine predators depend on them for survival. If forage fish decline, the impacts could ripple through fisheries, coastal communities, and ocean biodiversity worldwide. This episode explains why these overlooked species matter more than most people realize, what scientists are seeing in the data, and why protecting the smallest fish in the ocean may be one of the biggest conservation priorities of the future.
