While seemingly indestructible, the ocean is a fragile eco-system. It's increasingly under threat from over-fishing, coastal development, and pollution. On this edition of Making Contact, we'll take a look at the over-all health of the ocean today, along with a close-up of the impact of cruise ships and shrimp farming.
Featuring:

Meyers, Killam Chair in Ocean Studies at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia; Roger Rufe, President of the Ocean Conservancy; Ross A.
