Science and the Sea
Scientists have learned a great deal about how marine life survives and even thrives in the sea, how the sea is critical to human life on the land, and how man affects the vast ocean. The goal of Science and the Sea™ is to convey this understanding of the sea and its myriad life forms to everyone, so that they, too, can fully appreciate this amazing resource. We do this through magazine articles, radio programs, podcasts, and our website. In all of these, we provide entertaining stories that teach about the marine world and how scientists approach, and ultimately solve, some of the oceans’ mysteries.
Science and the SeaTM began in July 2005 as a monthly column in Texas Saltwater Fishing Magazine. A year later, it expanded into a radio program, podcast, and website. We have produced more than 1,000 episodes of our radio program and podcast, which airs in all 50 states, Canada, Guam, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, plus worldwide on the American Forces Network and several internet radio broadcasters.
