The ecological impact of the Tsunami

This weekend's show is devoted to the ecological impact of the Tsunami, both in terms of damage and mitigation role. Our first guest is Drew Weiner, Executive Director of Reef Protection International  who discusses coral reefs and mangroves native to the coastal regions hit.

Andi Peri with the Sea Turtle Restoration Project will tell us what's happening to endangered sea turtles, in both the Tsunami region and worldwide. In the last segment he talks about mercury in fish (and there's a connection to sea turtles).

Just wanted to say that I told my girlfriend about your show - she is studying an Environmental Science degree here in England - and she and her classmates are very excited about this episode.

I should add (because I am very proud of her - sorry if this is boring to the rest of you) that my partner - after working for 15 years in the power generation industry has 'come over from the dark side' to persue a new career in sustainable energy and recycling issues.

...The only problem now is that she will be hogging my iPod all the time to listen to EcoTalk.

God bless you and thank you for being our first "blogger" on this newly debuted site!
How did you find out about it since we're announcing it for the first time on tomorrow's (Sunday)show? Also, how did you manage to listen in England - I imagine thru the AAR site? So glad your girlfriend has seen the light - we need all the eco-pioneers we can get to ignite the green revolution! Hope you catch tomorrow's show when we debut EcoTalk's new theme song appropriately titled "Let's Take Our Heads Out of the Sand and Open Up Our Eyes".
