 Say Cheese: Wetland Wildlife Inventory  In this episode, we explore how scientists across the National Estuarine Research Reserve System conducted the first-ever North American wildlife inventory of these habitats. We chat with Dr. Kenny Raposa, research coordinator at Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve and lead scientist for the study.
 15 February 2024
 Coral Bleaching  When temperatures rise, coral bleaching can occur. In this episode, we explore what happens during bleaching events, how corals are affected, and how we can help protect these important ecosystems. We’re joined by coral expert Dana Wusinich-Mendez, Atlantic and Caribbean team lead and Florida management liaison for NOAA's Coral Reef Conservation Program.
 5 December 2023
 Meteotsunamis  In this episode, we revisit a 2019 interview on meteotsunamis to learn how these storm-fueled waves differ from tsunamis. Meteotsunamis are a series of large waves fueled by area-pressure disturbances like storms, and can occur in many places around the world — including the Great Lakes. We're joined by Dr. Gregory Dusek, NOS senior scientist, to discuss his research on this phenomenon.

 Weird Facts About Oil and Oil Spills  When it comes to oil spills and their impacts on marine environments, water and oil don’t mix. In this episode, we chat with an oil spill response expert, Doug Helton, regional operations supervisor for NOAA’s Office of Response and Restoration, Emergency Response Division, and discuss some weird facts about oil and oil contamination.
