David Griffin from CSIRO talks about the adventures of IMOS - a torpedo shaped underwater research glider that has just completed a 74-day journey through 1,800km of the waters of the Great Australian Bight, and has returned loaded with interesting info. Neil Blake updates us on what's happening on Port Phillip Bay, including a new study of beach-cast microplastics, and some upcoming Baykeeper community activities. Angeline updates us on the Clean up the Ocean Project being run out of the Netherlands, and specifically work underway in trail deployment. And Dr Surf joins us briefly for a surf report. He might not be able to say much because he says the surf has been most rad.
