In this episode, hosted by Danielle Jalowiecka, we dive into how these changes are impacting one of the ocean's most iconic creatures, the Southern Rock Lobster.
In areas off the coast of Victoria in Southern Australia, ocean conditions are changing. Warmer currents, unpredictable storms, and shifting water chemistry present a new reality for the communities who depend on the sea.
In this episode, hosted by Danielle Jalowiecka, we dive into how these changes are impacting one of the ocean's most iconic creatures, the Southern Rock Lobster. With insights from Matt Wassnig, CEO of Seafood Industry Victoria, Mia Bredenburg from Sunderland Marine, and Dr. Sam Twiname from the University of Tasmania, the episode delves into how the lobster industry is adapting to these challenges.
