Notas del episodio

When a nearly 700-foot expedition vessel anchors off Alpena, Michigan, it’s delivering more than sightseeing. It’s bringing a floating research platform to a community built on maritime history. In our debut episode, Sanctuary Fellow Cassidy Beach explores how NOAA’s Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary and Viking Expeditions built an unlikely partnership to share real-time data side-by-side. From onboard labs to classrooms on shore, discover how open science is replacing doom-and-gloom with actionable freshwater solutions.

Featured Guests:

  • Stephanie Gandulla — Maritime Archaeologist & Resource Protection Coordinator, NOAA’s Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary
  • Jason Hayden — Chief Scientist, Viking Expeditions
