The podcast episodes discuss various initiatives and approaches to environmental restoration, with a focus on the role of oysters and traditional ecological knowledge in addressing issues like coastal erosion, habitat loss, and ecosystem degradation.

For example, The World Is Your Oyster: How Our Favorite Shellfish Could Save Coastlines Worldwide explores how the construction of oyster reefs can help protect coastlines and mitigate the effects of sea level rise and storm surges. Similarly, Ep. 145: Updated: What Traditional Ecological Knowledge Can Teach Us highlights how traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) from indigenous communities can inform and complement scientific approaches to ecosystem restoration, such as prairie restoration and bison reintroduction.

Another episode, Sweet in Tooth and Claw with Kristin Ohlson, discusses a range of case studies and examples of environmental restoration efforts, including the transformation of degraded landscapes through changed grazing practices and the reclamation of urban waterways.
