Happy Father’s Day Everyone and this week’s episode features one of the great dads that co-parents with mom. The Nazca Booby. I am talk to Dr. Dave Anderson, a biologist and professor at Wake forest University about these incredible birds, what they teach us about parenting, stress, and how we change the ways we cope after trauma. We also learn how important dads are to the success of a Nazca booby family. And not just in boobies, but also in albatrosses.
His work, along with that of several colleagues is revealing how the lifestyle and needs of these pelagic seabirds is putting them squarely in the crosshairs of commercial fishing fleets that roam unregulated and unmonitored on the high seas leaving destruction in their wake.
This ties to a recent documentary released by Netflix called Seaspiracy which follows the trail of plastic straws and lands squarely at the foot of commercial and industrialized fishing. Reducing the amount of fish one consumes can help.
