This week we speak to Zak Cole! Zak is a Marine biologist and wildlife filmmaker from Florida, with a background is in Sharks and Marine mammals. Straight out of college he plunged into the depths of commercial fish stock assessment as a fisheries observer in New England. After a back injury in the field, he transitioned to a protected species observer for wind farm projects. While repeated issues with his back prevented him from continuing work offshore, he now focuses on films about Scientists and Conservationists in Florida and their work related to local wildlife, while working full time in film production. Zak and our hosts discussed his transition into wildlife filmmaking and the ethical challenges of this field of work. Zak then shared some crazy stories about his early days as a marine biologist! Zak was a super engaging guest and we can't wait for the personal tour of Florida he promised Chris, Nick and Michela....
