Join us as we delve into the intricate world of dolphin communication and the growing threat of underwater noise pollution. We explore how human activities, such as shipping and naval sonar, are disrupting the acoustic environment that dolphins rely on for navigation, hunting, and social interaction. Hear from leading marine biologists and acoustics experts who reveal the latest research on the impacts of noise pollution on dolphin populations and the innovative strategies being developed to mitigate these effects. This episode highlights the delicate balance of marine ecosystems and the urgent need for sustainable practices to ensure the survival of these intelligent and charismatic creatures. Together, we’ll gain a deeper understanding of the challenges dolphins face in our increasingly noisy oceans and what we can do to help protect them.

We’re trading the sunny shores of the Caribbean for the icy frontiers of Alaska to uncover the dramatic story of glacial recession. Join us as we sit down with Dr. Bruce Molnia, a seasoned scientist whose decades-long dedication has captured the breathtaking yet concerning retreat of Alaskan glaciers through stunning photographic evidence. Discover how these vital ice formations have changed over time and the profound implications of their decline for global sea levels and local ecosystems. We'll also hear from Captain Rodney Moll, whose expertise and dedication have made this vital research possible. Check out SeaKeepers' YouTube page after you listen to see Dr. Molnia's photographs through decades of glacial change. This episode is a poignant reminder of the urgent need for collective action to protect our planet's glacial giants and the marine life that depends on them.

On this expedition, we dive into the urgent battle against Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD), a devastating epidemic threatening coral reefs across the Caribbean. Join us as we speak with leading scientists from the Perry Institute for Marine Science who are at the forefront of this critical research. Learn about the origins and impacts of SCTLD, the innovative methods being developed to combat it, and the vital role that coral reefs play in maintaining healthy marine ecosystems. We also hear from the crew of the research vessel Andromeda, who provide an inside look at the logistical challenges and triumphs of conducting marine science at sea. Tune in to discover how collaborative efforts and groundbreaking research are striving to save these essential underwater habitats from unprecedented decline.
