With Dr Thom and The Professor busy prepping for their upcoming expeditions offshore, we had time to squeeze out one more episode before they set sail. We caught up with the legendary Di Tracey from NIWA to talk all things deep-water corals.
With the professor momentarily pinned down in perth, we thought it would be the ideal moment for him to talk to us all about his local waters, the great australian deep sea.
We made it to episode 50 and managed to pin down the professor to tell us all about his adventures offshore in the world’s second deepest point: the tonga trench.
Whilst Alan returns to life on land, we have a squid-tember special for you with our friend Kat Bolstad. This mini-episode will tell you all you need to know about the greatest time of the year: squidtember.
We impact the deep sea in many ways we don’t realise. Some are deliberate, some are accidental, some we didn’t even notice at the time. We talk about ways we have impacted the deep sea and touch on the huge problem that is marine plastic.
