Hey, all you naturalists out there! Want to know more about the different marine species living in the Salish Sea? How about the latest research findings with them? All ecosystems are eventually connected. For this reason, in each podcast we will dive in with an expert to talk about topics and facts related to the marine animals that call the Salish Sea home and occasionally include topics of broader relevance. We'll cover topics from the small (plankton) to the large (whales) and everything in-between, including our iconic salmon and orcas!
