Welcome to International Women's Day 2009! It's an all-girl talk-fest on today's show (well, Jeff Maynard is an exception), when Bron, Angeline and Cass take some time to reflect on some fabulous women and their contribution and legacy to marine science and conservation.
Angeline gives us a bio on the late Dr Isobel Bennett, arguably Australia's number one female marine scientist, who was posthumously honoured by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority who named a reef off McKay after her.
Bron gives us a run-down on Dr Sylvia Earle, yet another fabulous female marine scientist who was named the US International Ambassador to Oceans. And how could a segment on famous women in marine conservation be complete without mentioning Val Taylor and her work with sharks?
Cass chats about 'Chicks that Dig Salty Stuff', moving from Agatha Christie and Lotte Hass (who if morphed, could possibly have been a maritime archaeologist of sorts), onto women who have had a considerable impact on the blokesworld of maritime archaeology over the years. Listen for mentions of Myra Stanbury, Shirley Strachan, Wendy Van Duivenvoorde and Lyndel V. Prott.
Finally, Jeff Maynard pops in with some hilarious audio snippets from historical diving films. The commentary is there, but alas if you weren't listening on the day, you'll have to locate those glorious moments in the archives yourself. Needless to say, we 'chicks' no longer rush to reapply our lippy after diving!
Aspire to be as great as the women we cover on today's show. Blokes watch out - the revolution is coming!
