This week I’m joined by freediver and spearfisher Lorena Hrbut to chat about one of the most debated topics in the ocean world.
Lorena shares her journey from being vegan to becoming a passionate advocate for sustainable seafood and ethical spearfishing. We unpack why her perspective changed, the misconceptions surrounding spearfishing, how to make more sustainable seafood choices, and why conservation isn’t always as black and white as social media makes it seem.
Whether you agree with her views or not, this episode is all about having open, respectful conversations and exploring the many different ways people connect with and protect our oceans.
If you enjoyed this episode, don’t forget to follow the podcast and leave a review—it really helps more ocean lovers discover the show.
