Species Tuesday: NOAA Ocean Exploration and Research Department discovered a new species of Octopus that is being dubbed "Casper, the Friendly Octopus" because of it's ghost-like white body that glows in the dark. On today's podcast I talk about the unique qualities of the species and why we need more of these kinds of discoveries.

As someone who works in producing important maps of fish habitat to inform manager, I am geeking out at this article I cover in today's episode. The Duke Marine Geospatial Ecology Lab produced online maps for 35 Whale and Dolphin Species for managers to see them. I explain why these maps are important and how they will be used in Ocean Conservation during this episode.
The key is to continue to fund these projects!

Another Ocean Talk Friday was a success and for the 2nd week in a row, we hosted it on Blab, a live streaming site where we actually had people ask us questions! YAY for interaction!
This week, Nathan and I chatted about:
1) Superpower-like jellyfish;
2) China's quest to "explore" the deep sea by making it a law;
3) Noise from the deep sea (hint: it's not China!); and,
4) Sea Turtles vs Resorts in Kenya

Marine Protected Areas are designed to remove the human influence, or disturbance, to the oceans; however, climate change impacts like high sea surface temperatures will affect MPS effectiveness in the future.
Today, I review a study that incorporates sea surface temperature variability in MPA planning.
