- 科学
We’re kicking off CCMI’s initial podcast episode. Meet Kate Holden, your host and CCMI’s director of advancement. She’ll discuss the below…
Why do we need to STAND UP FOR REEFS?
Did you know…? Coral reefs provide protections for up to one million species! You may be closer to and more reliant upon a coral reef than you think!
Kate interviews CCMI’s director of research, Dr. Gretchen Goodbody-Gringley. They discuss Dr. Gretchen’s work, her background interest in science (from the age of 7!). She developed a passion for marine biology and scuba diving from a young age… and her path since then has led her to focus her research on the deepest parts of coral reefs which are completely inaccessible to most scuba divers.
They also talk about coral bleaching: what it is, how it is happening more frequently and what that means for coral reefs. Dr. Gretchen’s research looks at deep reefs as a potential refuge for corals in the future as the climate continues to change.
Dr. Gretchen and Kate talk about some of the many reasons that coral reefs are important to us all, and they discuss clear cases of threats to reefs, including plastic pollution, overfishing, and invasive lionfish.
They also talk about positive actions people can take anywhere to reduce our harmful impact on coral reefs.
The episode ends with a quick round of True or False: Coral Reef Facts.
