About Ocean Solutions: a NOISE Lab podcast
From the publisher's feed
The ocean is as mysterious as outer space... and even more amazing, because it's teeming with life (sorry, Venus!). Unfortunately, human activities are wreaking havoc on ocean life, from coral reefs…
and kelp forests to charismatic whales and obscure microbes. So, what do we do about it? In this podcast, biogeochemists at the University of California Santa Barbara talk with entrepreneurs, researchers, activists, public officials, and others who are working on solutions to the conservation and climate issues facing oceans and coasts.
