If you have been paying attention to recent headlines, you know that we are experiencing record heat, both on land and in our rivers and oceans. For example, the week of 4th of July was the hottest week ever recorded and in Florida, record water temps are causing coral bleaching.

That's why I am excited to share this interview with Dr. Aaron Adams who is the Director of Science and Conservation with BTT and we talk about everything from how climate change is impacting tarpon, bonefish, permit and redfish, how climate change is exacerbating the effects of the impact of El Nino and tips on how to be a more responsible angler.

Special thanks to Dr. Aaron Adams for sharing his knowledge with me and for everything he does to protect what he loves. I hope you enjoy and if you like what you are hearing, leave a rating and review on apple podcast. Thank you!
