All engine running.

Actually genius.

Get this.

Welcome.

This is the show where we bring science.

What that essentially means is discovery is

the classes, research, technology, unbelievable.

Without further ado, this is the naked scientist.

Hello and welcome to the naked scientist, the show that brings you the latest in science, technology and medicine.

I'm Wiltingle and this week we're diving into the fight to save the planet's oceans.

We're looking at how humans influence the big blue machine but also perhaps lesser known strategies

that are currently being deployed to protect the sea and the projections and the doom surrounding pretty much all aspects of the marine world as a result of climate change.

This is nothing new and certainly isn't going away anytime soon.

We are in a mass extinction event currently projected to lose 50 to 60 percent of species

worldwide if we carry on at our current levels of consumption.

It is a bleak prospect, but there are of course many people out there for being protecting

the oceans has become their life's work.

So this show hopes to highlight some of the perhaps

lesser known strategies being deployed to alleviate the stress on our

seas and the life they're in. And to have any hope of doing this, we must first

understand how the ocean itself operates and what humans are doing to that system.
