Anthony Shiao and James Ray, both with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, talk with us about urchin barrens and how we might rebuild healthy kelp forests off of our coast.

Ocean Solutions Ep. 9 (Urchin Barrens)

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.
