On this edition of Your Call’s One Planet Series, we’ll talk about a crucial but overlooked part of our global ecosystem: kelp. Author David Helvarg’s new book “Forest of the Sea” takes us on an amazing ocean-hopping journey from California to Norway to Palau to learn how otters, abalone, and urchins are part of a complex web threatened by climate change, pollution and overfishing. And we’ll hear about the so-called “Seaweed Rebels” who are fighting back.
Guests:
David Helvarg, founder and Executive Director of Blue Frontier and author of Forest of the Sea
