Steve Pearce

About the Guest: Steve Pearce is the CEO of Surf Life Saving New South Wales , Australia's largest volunteer surf lifesaving organization. With over 30 years in emergency services, he has led key initiatives for coastal safety, including advanced shark management programs with drones and tagging, plus expanded education efforts. Pearce is noted for his strategic leadership in balancing safety and marine protection along NSW beaches. Key Takeaways: The increase in shark attacks has prompted enhanced surveillance using drones at 80 locations across New South Wales, with over 44,000 flights monitored since summer. Pearce highlights the ecological balance challenge, questioning the implications and effectiveness of shark culling as a viable strategy. Surf Life Saving New South Wales places a strong emphasis on psychological support for lifesavers, given their frequent exposure to rescues and traumatic events. The Shark Smart App provides real-time monitoring of tagged sharks, allowing beachgoers to make informed decisions about where and when to swim. Education and awareness efforts, particularly targeting tourists and diverse community groups, are essential in minimizing the risk associated with coastal activities. Notable Quotes: "We are seeing more sharks because we're actually looking for more." "Technology is probably more of the greater answer to this in regards to greater surveillance, greater warnings, people's awareness." "Humans aren't in the food chain of sharks. They use a bite as a sensory mechanism to determine what something is." “The coast is our workplace, our place of work. But this is also the marine creatures’ place as well.” "Anything that enhances the safety of swimmers in the water, we would support."

I know I said that we would only be releasing Friday public lands news episodes every other week, but we have a special episode for you today covering two of the most pressing issues regarding public lands policy: the nomination of Steve Pearce to lead the BLM and the use of the CRA to roll back a 20-year mining ban in Northern MN. Why couldn’t we cover them next Friday? Well, both of these topics are either being voted on or discussed in Congress next week. So, we wanted to give listeners a heads up before they happen, why they’re important, and who we can contact about them. To help us explore these important public lands stories, I am joined by Wendy Schneider. Wendy has undertaken a number of professional endeavors over the course of her career, including working on campaigns and for elected officials on Capitol Hill, fundraising for a large national nonprofit, and practicing law at large international firms in Los Angeles. Thrilled to now be able to call herself a conservation professional, she has been leading Friends of the Inyo since 2017. Friends of the Inyo's mission is to protect and care for the land and water of the area we now call California's Eastern Sierra. They engage in both stewardship and advocacy work to protect healthy ecosystems and species in our working area. They always work in collaboration with many partners, including the Indigenous Community, as well as scientific, recreational, and many other local, regional, and national stakeholders.
