About this listen

 Talked with Dr. Stefan Harzen, Director, The Taras Oceanographic Foundation and Elizabeth Dashiell. The Taras Foundation was founded in 1998 and studies dolphins as a way of understanding how the oceans work. Taras has two primary programs: The Palm Beach Dolphin Project is a long-term conservation research initiative examining dolphin society and how their health and the resources they rely on, has direct and indirect impacts on our health and wellbeing. Students are using the data for their projects and they have a relationship with Palm Beach Atlantic University to jointly study the occurrence and impact of micro plastics on our local waters. The second program is their Ocean of Notes Concert series that's part of their World Oceans Day Celebration with Riviera Beach. Listeners can get more info about the Dolphin tours, www.palmbeachdolphintours.com and www.taras.org.
