In this episode, Anthony and Natalie discuss all things seals and cetaceans. Natalie shares her career to date and what led her to her current position and work with BDMLR charity. They talk about what it's like to work with cetaceans, how hard stranded cetaceans are to rescue, and the most common animals Natalie is seeing on the UK coast. They also cover topics of sustainability, such as the bycatch and entanglement of marine animals in plastic pollution. Natalie also advises on how the fishing industry can help reduce this problem with acoustic deterrents and education.
