Today's storyteller is Dr Marga L Rivas! Marga is a marine ecologist based at the University of Almeria in Spain. She's done a lot of work with sea turtles, marine conservation, ocean plastics, remote sensing, and sometimes all these aspects combined. It's all really interesting work so check it out! Marga is also part of Homeward Bound 5 with me, and so it was nice to get to know her better on a one on one basis. So in addition to all the cool marine work we talk about we also talk about the HB experience so far, our favorite parts, and reflect on things we've learned so far. Enjoy!
