April 27, 2021--Our ocean is the Earth's "Blue Heart" covering 72 % of our planet . . . and it's in bad shape. With more than 300 tons of plastic produced annually, less than 5% is recycled. Where does much of it end up? You guessed it, in the ocean! On thie edition of the Ecology Hour on KZYX, guest host John Azzaro speaks with Mary Crowley, founding director of Ocean Voyages Institute dedicated to ocean cleanup and raising the awareness of the dangers of marine debris. John sailed with Mary and crew of marine scientists on a 150' tall ship to study first hand the world's largest toxic dump, the North Pacific Gyre.
