NautiWeek: Diving into Connecticut’s shoreline and beyond
In Connecticut, you’re never far from the sea. To explore this coastal connection, Connecticut Public’s talk shows are diving deep into issues connected to Long Island Sound and beyond.
You’ll hear about winter-tolerant coral reefs and the comeback of the diamondback terrapin. We’ll unpack the impact of our local shellfish industry and celebrate the history of sea shanties. Learn what the ocean can tell us about how we’re treating the planet from a panel of experts, hear from a scientist who spent 100 days living underwater and so much more.
