Duration: 15 min 9 s
Description: Scientists forecast a larger-than-average dead zone in Chesapeake Bay during summer 2017, but as summer came to an end, it looked to be an overestimate. We talk to Jeremy Testa, an expert from the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, about what makes a dead zone and why the forecast might have missed the mark.

Dr. Helen Bailey walks listeners through different marine mammal sounds that have been recorded as part of her real-time whale detections.
