Listen to Ocean Plastic, Spider Crab Updates and Composing Ocean Music43:2914 July 2024

Bron Burton and Kade Mills are joined by Colleen Hughson and Fisherman Gary Ryan to find out how a 10-day walk along the Western Victorian Coast led to a novel partnership to tackle plastic pollution in the fishing industry with plastic-free lobster pots.

Plus, Deakin University's Dr Elodie Camprasse returns with a Giant Spider Crab Watch update.

Next, we head across the strait to Tasmania/Lutruwita to hear from Scientist/Composer Emily Sheppard and Composer/Musicologist Rachel Meyers, the recent recipients of the Progress Links Commissions, on how they bring together shrimp, kelp and fiddles in their project 'Sounding the Great Southern Ocean'.

Kade also updates us on the Sea Slug Census and how to stop them pesky seagulls from stealing your chippies.
