| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Fish Strong Podcast! Disrupting fishing entertainment as you know it, prepare |
| 0:10.9 | to laugh, prepare to get to know fishing legends in a whole new and unfiltered way, and on |
| 0:16.4 | occasion, you might even learn a thing or two about fishing. Here are your hosts, Joe |
| 0:21.3 | and Luke Simons. Hello, soft strong nations! Joe Simons, back again, Fish Strong Podcast. This |
| 0:31.0 | is going to be an awesome one, and this is going to be a little bit different. I think this |
| 0:35.3 | is the first time my brother Luke has not joined us if you listened to last week's show. We |
| 0:40.7 | talked about oyster restoration, I messed up that word last time, which is pretty funny as |
| 0:47.1 | well. I just got to remember restore. Okay. Anyhow, Luke had a lot of issues there, and this |
| 0:53.2 | time his entire Skype is going haywire, so it is just me and my good friend Abby Engelman, |
| 0:59.4 | Abby you there? Yes I am, hey Joe. So Abby is someone that I met just like Hannah, and it was |

| 1:17.5 | here is at FSU, and all of them were fascinating, and this one in particular I believe caught my |
| 1:23.6 | attention just because it is so unique. You guys are using 3D printing, which to me it is just |

| 1:36.3 | I was like all right we have got to get her on the show and hear more about it because we all |
| 1:39.8 | know that coral reefs are having a lot of trouble. There is bleaching and basically just coral |
| 1:46.1 | reefs getting destroyed at a rate that is kind of alarming or very alarming I guess, and you guys |
| 1:52.3 | are doing some really cool things to try to reverse that problem and that trend. So I guess first |
| 1:59.1 | and foremost let's talk about your background, where you grew up and how you got interested |
| 2:05.8 | in fascinating and fascinated about the water and reefs and things like that. |
| 2:10.7 | I am actually from Washington DC, and I don't think my path to getting here was very direct, |
