Manage episode 465617810 series 3618039
World leading sea cucumber crime expert Teale Phelps Bondaroff and Martlet Editor-in-Chief Sydney Lobe discuss recent sea cucumber crime on Vancouver Island. Teale leads an international team of researchers with OceansAsia and his work on illegal fishing has helped draw attention to wildlife crime targeting lesser-known but important marine species like sea cucumbers and krill. Together they discuss what a sea cucumber is, the lucrative and organized criminal nature of marine wildlife poaching, and how individuals can make a big difference in marine conservation through focused action.
