Welcome to the special episode of the podcast!I know this is a personal finance and investing podcast but it won't hurt to change course from time to time especially as the topics being discussed in this episode relates to preserving the beauty and longevity of marine mammals at sea. We mostly talked on how building infrastructures at sea affect marine mammals such as whales and dolphins. Ruben Van der Neut, a marine data scientist, and Elisa Rebolledo, a marine ecologist and marine mammal observer dive with me deeper into how subsea construction sounds disrupt marine mammals and how new structures at sea can be or can't be beneficial on native marine species. It is an overall lovely conversation we have here and would add value to those who are curious on the impact of humanity's thirst for more energy sources at sea. I will apologize ahead for the subpar audio quality that you are used to as I only have one microphone on hand which is not optimized in recording three people live.
