Dr. Andrew Wright joins me on the podcast to recount a workshop he attended to help protect the Taiwanese White Dolphins. Andrew provides a great description of the importance to workshops to help with species management. The Taiwanese White Dolphin face a number of issues that continue to threaten the status of the population. Workshops, like the one Andrew describes, bring experts and local communities together to help identify and implement solutions to species ocean issues. Enjoy the podcast!

SUFB 316: Grey Seal Population Boom in Cape Cod, Leadership in Ocean Conservation and EPA Advisory Committee Changes
Is the increase of Grey Seal Population on Cape Cod causing problems with humans? I was asked to answer a question as to whether the science says Grey Seals are preventing the cod stocks in the Northeast from recovering. I answer this question using a Canadian example. Who Should Lead the Ocean Conservation Movement? Bill Nye has been undergoing heavy criticism from the non-scientific AND the scientific community as to whether he should lead the Climate Change science movement. Should he be a leader? Is he harming the movement? I also address this during the show. Trump trumps the EPA Again! He is at it again. Replacing scientific experts with fossil fuel industry representatives...ugh!

Social media is a beast to understand all of the different platforms. When to post, how many times, who should you target are all things to consider; however, the point of Social Media is to become social. You want to engage with other people to have valuable discussions that make both your lives better. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. There are time where the other people misinterpret your meaning or you are not clear on the point that you are trying to make and people get mad...that happened to me and I talk about it today. Also, there is a weird ocean story about an Adult Film star in a shady cage, who got bitten by a lemon shark..truly bizarre. Finally, I talk about a study where fish are changing behaviour to be closer to Marine Protected Area (MPA) boundaries. Enjoy the podcast!

There is a big problem in San Francisco Bay: A number of sharks and other fish are washing ashore dead. Sean van Sommeran is on the front lines making sure each fish is processed and analyzed to find out why. Sean's organization, The Pelagic Shark Research Foundation, is partnering with the Marine Mammal Center and some researchers who specialize in fish health to help determine why a number of different sharks such as leopard sharks, white sharks and other fish (eagle rays, etc.) are washing up on the shore dead. These strandings have bee occurring for the past 5-6 weeks and it's not the first time this type of stranding event has occurred. Listen to the podcast to hear more on why these sharks and other fish are dying this spring. Enjoy the podcast!
