Climate Change is a controversial topic, but whatever your beliefs are surrounding it, the fact is that temperatures are rising, and food systems have a big connection with that change.

NASA estimates that in the next hundred years, if sea levels continue to rise at the rate they are, massive portions of land around the world will be underwater (https://climate.nasa.gov/interactives/climate-time-machine)

We need to figure out how we are impacting climate change, and what changes can be made to reduce that impact.

This episode touches on climate change basics, ocean acidification, food production alternatives, such as aquaculture, and we WE, as seafood lovers, can do TODAY to start making a change.

Experts who share their insight in this episode include GAA Executive Director Andrew Mallison and NCEAS Postdoc Halley Froehlich.

Every few weeks, Aquademia will release a Species Spotlight Episode, where the hosts sit down and talk about one species that listeners may have never tried, or a species they should try again.

In this Species Spotlight episode, Shaun, Justin, and Maddie have a discussion about mussels!

Mussels are easy to find, inexpensives, and super fast and easy to prepare! If you're new to seafood, or want to find an easy way to incorporate more seafood in your diet, give mussels a try!

Wildfires, Earthquakes, Tsunamis, hurricanes, nor’easters, flash floods, tornados, heat waves, hail storms, droughts, avalanches. All of these terrifying events are natural processes of our planet, and they all serve their purpose, but there’s pages and pages of scientific papers showing that there’s been a severe increase in these types of events over the last 30-50 years.

These natural disasters we’re experiencing are just effects of the real problems. Global Climate Change, deforestation, water and land pollution, poor waste management, an ever-increasing population are all things that we contribute to, and can take some semblance of control over.
The bottom line is:

Earth's. Got. Issues.

We talk about how seafood is connected to these major issues facing our planet, how it contributes to them, and how it can help work towards fixing some of them. Industry experts that provide their insight in this episode include GAA Executive Director Andrew Mallison, recent environmental studies graduate Maddie Cassidy, and NCEAS Postdoc Halley Froehlich.
