Restoring Coral Reefs and Rescuing Turtles: Marine Conservation On Location in the Florida Keys

From colorful schooling fish to dolphins, sea turtles, crabs, sponges, and more, the Florida Keys are known for their abundant marine life - so it's no surprise that they're also a hotspot for marine conservation. That's why today's episode is a special 3-in-1 feature, showcasing clips from three different episodes of our on-location series, Florida Keys Traveler. And not only will you get to hear highlights from multiple episodes - you'll also be hearing from a special guest host, travel writer and radio personality Elizabeth Harryman Lasley! First, Elizabeth she'll speak with Dr. David Vaughan, who is revolutionizing coral restoration around the world with a new process that he discovered completely by accident. Next, she'll stop by the Turtle Hospital in Marathon - the world's first licensed veterinary hospital just for sea turtles - to meet some patients and learn about the rescue process. Finally, she'll chat with Ken Nedimyer about the unique methods he's developing to restore coral on North America's only barrier reef (hint: rope and cement). Recorded entirely on location, this episode will drop you directly into the sun-soaked paradise known as the Florida Keys. So grab your favorite tropical drink and join us!
