Giant Prehistoric Seabirds, NZ's Sustainable Seaweed Aquaculture, and Frozen Water Bears

Presenters Bron and Dr Beach talk to coastal paleontologist Ben Francischelli about Naarm’s very own giant seabird dinosaurs known as ‘pelagornithids’, the largest flying bird that ever existed; Dr Nigel Bradly, CEO of Envirostrat, NZ, explains an exciting development in a huge aquaculture start-up program that not only regenerates algae in the waters off the Coromandel peninsula, but has all the hallmarks of a huge new sustainable seaweed industry; and Dr Beach reports on a new insight into water bears - or tardigrades as they are officially known - and their incredible ability to withstand environmental extremes.
