As The Sea issue comes to a close, we turn the podcast’s attention toward the scientists and experts who can give us the score on the health of our oceans today. In part two, Captain Charles Moore, Nancy Rabalais, Callum Roberts, Jeremy Jackson, Donovan Hohn, Alan Sielen, and Curtis Ebbesmeyer take us to all the dead zones, garbage patches, and other pollution-choked corners of the seas.
