93. Erich Hoyt: Killer Whales, Blackwater, Planktonia, and the Greatest Migration on Earth

Erich Hoyt has spent much of his life on or beside the ocean, working with whales and dolphins. He is a noted conservationist, scientist, and an award-winning author, he actually wrote the first ever book on Orcas, or Killer Whales. A former Vannevar Bush Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Erich is currently a research fellow at Whale and Dolphin Conservation, co-chair of the IUCN Marine Mammal Protected Areas Task Force, and author of the new book "PLANKTONIA: The nightly migration of the ocean’s smallest creatures” from Firefly Books. In this episode we chat about making a living from passion projects, Erich’s work with Orcas, and all about the greatest migration on earth that happens twice a night, every night in the deep blue sea.
