[Coral-List] Conservation challenge: Podcast on Atlantic Goliath Grouper

[Sarah Frias-Torres]

Feast your ears with my interview in Craig Pittman's "Welcome to Florida" podcast.

In this episode, I talk about the magnificent and endangered Goliath Grouper in Florida, the Lord of the Rocks, the gentle giant with a Golden Retriever puppy attitude. What is their role in the ecosystem? Why should we continue protecting them? and what are the new shenanigans in the deadly mismanagement of this species?
There are heroes, and villains, Game of Thrones vibes, and even a Star Trek-inspired quote.

Craig is the author of powerful nature books such as:
"Manatee Insanity: Inside the War Over Florida's Most Famous Endangered Species"
And
"Cat Tale: The Wild, Weird Battle To Save the Florida Panther"
