This episode is the first Chemical Corner special segment, so we start out by going over some ways marine scientists classify the elements found in seawater such as "conservative," "non-conservative," "nutrient-type," and "scavenged-type."

In this episode we start talking about one of the motions of the ocean - the Great Global-Ocean Conveyor Belt!

Join in on our first live Salty Science experiment! Instructions are posted on www.saltysciencepodcast.weebly.com so you can follow along at home.

In this episode scientists from all different disciplines in marine science share why they are thankful for our oceans!

SAV - Submerged Aquatic Vegetation - is a super important group of aquatic plants that are worthy of the spotlight.

This episode is dedicated to all of the great people who attended the Urbanna Oyster Festival (2019) and asked me great questions about the Atlantic Sturgeon - that super-large prehistoric looking fish that navigates Northern Hemisphere waters from the river to the sea.

This episode is all about YOU! And what you have to say in response to the question, "Why should we care?"
