  • Lovely Listen

    Really lovely listen with great stories and insight. As a coastal person, it’s nice hearing about similar issues on other coasts and becoming more informed about the different, yet largely similar, environmental changes affecting creatures and populations inhabiting the surrounding areas. Thank you Sea Change!

  • So well done

    After hearing the fertilizer episode I had to leave a review. So often things are described as “complex” and yet they often are just not understood. I feel like I have a much greater understanding of the impact of what is happening. Thank you for your reporting. It’s valuable. Keep it up.!!

  • Agents of change

    This storytelling format is a values-driven look at where science is failing to build the future we need. By talking about what’s happening to our coasts and the communities dealing with coastal effects, we can sense the human dimension of the coastal management and applied science.

The Next Big One: Are We Prepared?
Q: Eva, wow, so much changed over the last year at the Flood Authority. What was your experience like reporting this ever-evolving story?
It was difficult because as I was reporting this story, it felt like the news was constantly breaking because the authority is in such turmoil right now.
Sea Change Live! 20 Years After Katrina
Q: Are the people of New Orleans prepared for the next storm?
Better than there were 20 years ago thanks to improved levees and resilience strategies, but continuous investment is necessary.
Some Like It Hot, Especially Bull Sharks
Q: What does the increase in bull sharks mean for human safety?
The probability of being bitten by a shark is very low, and the observed population increases primarily involve juvenile bull sharks that are more focused on avoiding predation than attacking humans.
