Episode 20: Miscellaneous articles with marine flavour

This episode of Vibes Under The Sea takes a different format. In lieu of an interview with a guest, Craig reads four articles of marine flavour. The first article, sourced from the website of University of Tasmania's Institute of Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS), highlights a new PhD scholarship honouring Tasmanian aquaculture biologist Dr Harry King. The second story comes from the website of Hakai Magazine of Coastal Science and Societies (Canada) and relates how growing sea otter numbers in British Columbia are having unforeseen impacts on the shellfish populations harvested by indigenous communities. The third story, taken from the ABC News website is on the listing of the pink handfish as an endangered species; a fish that was earlier recorded from the Tasman Peninsula and D'Entrecasteau Channel but has not been seen for the past 22 years. The final article, sourced from the website of the British Natural History Museum, tells of a 310-million-year-old fossil that shows how little horseshoe crab brains have changed.
