Reef Arches, Hybrid Seawalls and the Future of Coastal Resilience | The Blue Economy
Can shoreline protection do more than defend against erosion?In this episode of The Blue Economy, Katherine O’Fallon, Executive Director of the Marine Research Hub of South Florida, is joined by Arthur Tiedeman of APH Marine Construction and Nicholas Bourdon of Reef Arches for a practical conversation about nature-based shoreline infrastructure, hybrid seawalls, artificial reef structures, mangrove planters, and the future of coastal resilience.As waterfront communities face aging seawalls, rising costs, permitting pressure, storm exposure, and the need for stronger environmental outcomes, the conversation around marine construction is changing. The question is no longer only how to protect the shoreline, but how to build infrastructure that also creates habitat, supports marine life, improves water quality, and gives homeowners, municipalities, developers, and contractors better tools.Arthur shares the APH Marine Construction perspective on hybrid seawalls, marine construction, installation logistics, contractor education, and why South Florida is entering a major seawall replacement cycle. Nicholas explains how Reef Arches are being used as modular, nature-based structures that can help attenuate waves, support habitat complexity, provide alternatives to traditional riprap, and scale across residential, municipal, and infrastructure projects.Together, they discuss Sunrise Key, Palm Bay, Cape Canaveral, mangrove planters, oysters, ecological seawall tiles, homeowner participation, regulatory pathways, pilot studies, data, grants, and why collaboration across the blue economy is essential if these solutions are going to move from innovation to standard practice.Guests:Arthur TiedemanAPH Marine Constructionhttps://www.aphmarineconstruction.comNicholas BourdonReef Archeshttps://reefarches.comHost:Katherine O’FallonExecutive Director, Marine Research Hub of South Floridahttps://marineresearchhub.orgThe Blue Economy is powered by the Marine Research Hub of South Florida, advancing ocean innovation, sustainability, and economic growth.Prefer to read?

It is a reflection on purpose, intuition, integrity, and knowing when a chapter has done what it came to do.Geraldine speaks openly about her journey through the yachting industry, from yacht shows and international roles to difficult leadership, unpaid commissions, professional disappointment, and the lessons that ultimately shaped her. She also reflects on the importance of listening within, trusting the body’s warning signs, and refusing to ignore the intuition that often arrives before the mind is ready to act.Her message is especially clear for women in yachting and beyond: do not underestimate your voice, your discernment, or your ability to cut through what no longer aligns.This episode explores:• Why Geraldine is stepping back from Self-Care On Board• Her connection to Yachting International Radio from the early days• What the yachting industry taught her about resilience and integrity• Why difficult professional experiences can become lessons rather than lifelong wounds• The importance of listening within before the body forces you to wake up• Why women’s voices and intuition must not be underestimated• What it means to step out of one chapter and into a new missionGeraldine’s final message is clear:Listen within.

Panic Buttons At Sea: Crew Safety Tech That Could Save Lives | UNCENSORED
What happens when yacht crew need help, but no one nearby can act fast enough?In this episode of UNCENSORED, host Marién Sarriera speaks with Devlin Cathey, founder of All Safe Yachting, about a crew safety system built to give yacht crew an immediate way to raise the alarm, capture evidence, and access support wherever they are in the world.All Safe Yachting began with the idea of a global panic button for crew, created in the wake of real tragedy and designed as a prevention tool as much as an emergency response system. Devlin explains how the platform works, including app-based panic alerts, wearable Bluetooth buttons, man-down detection, confidential reporting, wellbeing support, hours of rest tracking, and management dashboards.This conversation looks at the realities crew face on board and ashore: isolation, fear of reporting, lack of evidence, altered hours of rest, mental health pressure, and the need for systems that protect crew before a situation becomes critical.For crew, captains, owners, managers, and families, this is a practical conversation about safety, prevention, accountability, and giving people at sea another layer of protection when it matters most.Guest: Devlin CatheyCompany: All Safe Yachting━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━SUPPORTED BYMoore Dixon━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Moore Dixon provides global insurance support designed for yacht crew, including medical cover for emergencies, routine care, and practical protection when the unexpected happens.mdbl.imFacebook: @MDBLimitedLinkedIn: @moore-dixon-brokers🎙️ UNCENSORED | Yachting International RadioSearch Yachting Channel on your favourite podcast platform for more conversations from across the global yachting industry.

Green to Ready: Yacht Interior Training & New Crew Support | The Crew Car
Green crew need more than a checklist. They need honest guidance, realistic expectations, and a clearer understanding of what they are walking into before they step onboard.In this episode of The Crew Car, Captain James Battey speaks with Jemma Cunningham, Founder of The Yacht Interior Academy, about preparing new yacht crew for the realities behind yachting’s polished exterior.Jemma’s own route began far from superyachts. After leaving school at 16, she started in hairdressing, then joined the cruise ship world at 18 before stepping into yachting in 2015. Her first yacht experience gave her a sharp understanding of how intimidating the industry can be when new crew arrive without context, support, or a clear sense of onboard culture.Through The Yacht Interior Academy, Jemma is focused on helping future crew understand far more than the certificates they need. Her work looks at expectations, hierarchy, crew dynamics, communication, emotional resilience, and the practical reality of joining a yacht as a new crew member.This conversation explores why personality and team fit matter as much as qualifications, how toxic leadership can damage confidence, why communication is essential onboard, and how better education can help protect new crew from misinformation, poor preparation, and exploitation.For an industry that continues to talk about raising standards, this is where it starts: with better preparation, better support, and more honest guidance for the people entering yachting at the very beginning.In this episode:• Jemma Cunningham’s journey from cruise ships to superyachts• What her first yacht experience revealed about onboard culture• Why green crew need realistic expectations before joining a vessel• How toxic leadership can push good crew out of the industry• Why The Yacht Interior Academy was created• How online training and mentoring can support new yacht crew• Why interior crew preparation must go beyond certificates• The importance of personality, team fit, and communication onboard• Why mental health and emotional support matter in yachting• How trusted information can help protect new crew• Why raising crew standards helps raise industry standardsConnect & Learn More:The Yacht Interior Academyhttps://theyachtinterioracademy.co.ukYacht Workers Councilhttps://yachtworkerscouncil.comPrefer to read?

Know Your Rights Before Something Goes Wrong | Superyacht Laundry
Yacht crew work across borders, contracts, flag states, management structures, and onboard procedures, but many do not fully understand what those details mean until something goes wrong.In this episode of Superyacht Laundry, host Cherise Reedman is joined by Lucy Goff and Jenny Harris from Ocean Legal for a practical conversation about yacht crew rights, marine law, employment contracts, NDAs, jurisdiction, reporting, evidence, and the realities of working at sea.This is not a fear-based conversation. It is a knowledge-based one.Lucy and Jenny explain why yacht crew need to understand their contracts before joining a vessel, what governing law and jurisdiction clauses can mean in real life, why union support such as Nautilus can matter, and why NDAs do not automatically silence crew after serious incidents.They also discuss one of the biggest myths in yachting: that working in “international waters” means there are no rules.For crew, captains, senior crew, yacht managers, recruiters, owners’ representatives, and anyone involved in the superyacht industry, this conversation belongs in the wider discussion around safety, accountability, welfare, and professional standards.In this episode: Yacht crew contracts and red flags Governing law and jurisdiction Nautilus, union support, and legal backup NDAs and privacy limits Onboard reporting versus criminal reporting Evidence, timing, and documentation Why crew should ask questions before there is a crisis How Ocean Legal is making marine law more accessible Guests Lucy Goff, Ocean Legal Jenny Harris, Ocean LegalHost Cherise Reedman, Superyacht LaundryLearn more about Ocean Legal: https://oceanlegal.co.uk/Prefer to read?
