Show Notes
Over the past few months, we’ve seen a lot of reports of weird things happening in the oceans - dead whales and dolphins washing ashore in New Jersey, crabs disappearing off the coast of Alaska, “red tides” filled with toxic algae in Florida. These things sound pretty worrying - are they a sign of serious damage to our climate? We discuss these concerns with Dr. Lisa Rodrigues, Associate Professor of Environmental Science, and Dr. Samantha Chapman, Professor of Biology, both from Villanova University. They tell us not to be too alarmist, and give us a realistic look at the state of our oceans and how we can help.
