So You Want to Be a Marine Biologist

93. Erich Hoyt: Killer Whales, Blackwater, Planktonia, and the Greatest Migration on Earth


Listen Later

Erich Hoyt has spent much of his life on or beside the ocean, working with whales and dolphins. He is a noted conservationist, scientist, and an award-winning author, he actually wrote the first ever book on Orcas, or Killer Whales. A former Vannevar Bush Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Erich is currently a research fellow at Whale and Dolphin Conservation, co-chair of the IUCN Marine Mammal Protected Areas Task Force, and author of the new book "PLANKTONIA: The nightly migration of the ocean’s smallest creatures” from Firefly Books. In this episode we chat about making a living from passion projects, Erich’s work with Orcas, and all about the greatest migration on earth that happens twice a night, every night in the deep blue sea.
