Ocean conservation is more than a job—it’s a calling. In this episode, we sit down with McKenzie Margereth, known online as McKnsea, who shares her inspiring journey of making bold career decisions in marine biology while becoming a powerful voice for science communication on social media. Her story highlights the challenges and triumphs of balancing a full-time role in marine science with a passion for educating the public about the ocean.

Science communication becomes a lifeline when it’s driven by love for the sea. McKenzie opens up about the emotional and professional toll of choosing between fieldwork, further education, and content creation. We dive deep into how she built a personal brand, made sacrifices to stay true to her ocean roots, and continues to advocate for marine conservation using platforms like TikTok.
