Climate HourMarine Mammals: Early Warning For World Climate SurvivalCLIMATE HOUR – Marine mammals are the planet’s canary in a coalmine. For as the ocean goes, so goes the land and all that dwell upon it. Climate change is causing the world’s oceans to become warmer and more acidic, while a constant stream of petrochemicals and microplastics turn then into a toxic wasteland. The study and preservation of marine mammals can provide an early warning system that helps us understand the long term impacts of climate and waste on land, and the future of land mammals.
Join host, Bob Grove, and guests to discuss marine mammals. Guests include:

How To Protect The OceanTracking Happy Humpback WhalesThe one thing that I love about doing this podcast is the fact that I can talk to people who have done amazing things in Marine Conservation. Sometimes, people are supported by large organizations/companies that help them get on their way to launching these amazing conservation projects. Other times, the people start the projects on their own and create something really special. In today's episode, I speak with Ted Cheeseman who co-founded the site HappyWhale.com, a website that tracks humpback whales that have been identified by photos taken from citizen scientists from all over the P...2021-10-081h 00

Wild For ChangeEpisode 1: HappywhaleToday on the Wild For Change Podcast, we will be speaking with Ted Cheeseman, co-founder of Happywhale.Happywhale was created in 2015, when Ted Cheeseman’s decades long expeditions to the Antarctic and the island of South Georgia demonstrated where whales were once prevalent, sightings of whales were rare. This was due to hundreds of years of this area being the center of the whaling industry. A global whaling moratorium was established in 1982 to preserve what was left of the global whale population.
