Episode #13: Recording marine strandings

Today’s episode focuses on the Marine Strandings Network, which is celebrating its 20^th anniversary this year. For centuries, people around our coastline have recorded washed-up organisms on our beaches. While although they’re very sad, these events offer an extraordinary opportunity for marine biologists to glimpse into the lives of animals that live in the sea and are usually incredibly hard to study. We speak with Abby Crosby, Marine Conservation Officer, followed by Sharon, a marine strandings volunteer.
