Macro-tides and microplastics with Luigi Cavaleri (CNR-ISMAR) and Fabiana Corami (CNR-ISP)

The fourth episode of Nowtilus focuses on scientific research in the lagoon. Our first guest, Luigi Cavaleri, physical oceanographer at the Institute of Marine Sciences (CNR-ISMAR), will tell us about the natural evolution of the lagoon’s ecosystem, its relationship with the sea and tidal cycles, both ordinary and extraordinary. Fabiana Corami, biologist and researcher at the Institute of Polar Sciences (CNR-ISP) will introduce us to the theme of invisible micro-plastics that threaten our waters. She will also debunk some of the many false myths on the subject.

Episode available on Ocean Archive, SoundCloud, Spotify, iTunes and Google Podcast.
