After each week's episode our MSci students Kieran and Elin will be updating the 'Exploring our Oceans' blog. They will share their thoughts about the episode and relate it back to what they are learning here at Southampton.
This week Elin talks about her predictions for the conservation message of the final episode.
“A changing ocean is not only a threat to the marine environment – as we’ve seen in each previous episode, all life is intertwined with the ocean so any change can heavily effect humans too.”
