Dr. Joshua Voss is the Executive Director of NOAA's Cooperative Institute for Ocean Exploration, Research, and Technology and an Associate Research Professor at Florida Atlantic University’s Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute. His research interests? Coral. In today’s episode, we chat about coral reefs, both shallow and mesophotic (or slightly deeper water), their health, how they’re explored. Josh is a certified technical rebreather diver and scuba instructor who has completed over 1500 scientific dives and led more than 35 scientific expeditions. He shares how his field work is accomplished, how crime scene investigation methods translates to coral, and how you, as a stakeholder, can get involved.
