All hail our jellyfish overlords
Episode description
What’s brainless, heartless, eyeless and thrives in a warming ocean? Hint: it’s wobbly and it could be coming to a dinner plate near you.
Tori & Khalil investigate the effects of rising sea temperatures, from changing food sources to the perilous state of coral reefs – home to one quarter of all marine species. They’re joined by scientists and campaigners to help explain the changes we’re seeing and how we can help nature and humanity adjust. Join us and find out:
- What happens to animals living in a more acidic sea?
- How do you regrow a coral reef?
- Will we all be eating jellyfish soon?
