Ocean Calls Podcast – Season 3 Ep. 8: What are the long-term impacts of marine heatwaves?

As the world heats up, the oceans do, too. In this episode of Ocean Calls, we are looking at the damaging, long-term effects of marine heatwaves. We delve into their impacts on corals and fish, and discuss what can be done to help ecosystems to better weather the storm.

We talk to the Deputy Director of Europe's Copernicus Climate Change Service, Samantha Burgess, and Pippa Moore, Professor of Marine Science at Newcastle University.

At the end of the episode, you hear from Chloë McCardel, an Australian swimmer nicknamed the ‘queen of the English Channel’ who established a world record after crossing it 44 times. She shares a story of endurance, vulnerability - and meeting a bunch of jellyfish.
