Highlights
Sarika Cullis-Suzuki
Marine Biologist & Science Communicator
Sarika is co-host of The Nature of Things on CBC. Her life and work are devoted to science, conservation, and communication. For nearly 20 years, she has worked in environmentally themed media in print, film, and audio platforms, hosting and writing shows for CBC, Parks Canada, The National Film Board, Ocean Networks Canada, and Audible, amongst others.
Sarika speaks publicly and often on ocean issues and conservation: trained as a Marine Biologist (PhD, MSc), her research has taken her around the globe, from the intertidal zones of her home, British Columbia, to remote tropical archipelagos, to the high seas, the results of which led to addresses to NGOs, learning institutions, industry, governments, and the United Nations. Sarika has been a Visiting Scientist at Ocean Networks Canada, and has served on various boards and committees, including those of the David Suzuki Foundation, WWF Canada, and the Shaw Centre for the Salish Sea. She has received multiple honors for her work in ocean conservation and communication, including the King Charles III Coronation Medal, and for her work at The Nature of Things, including for best host, best documentary, and best writing.
Sarika Cullis-Suzuki will be a special guest on our Antarctic Explorer voyage departing 17 March 2026.
