On 22 April 2008 I hosted one hour out of a 24-hour long Earth Day webcastathon. My program was about ocean conservation and I was joined by two fellow ocean enthusiasts and science bloggers. First is Dr. Karen James, director of science for the The HMS Beagle Project. The Beagle Project is an international effort to celebrate Charles Darwin's 200th birthday by building a sailing replica of his ship and then retracing the 1831-1836 Voyage of the Beagle with an international crew of researchers, aspiring scientists and science communicators. Also joining me was Rick MacPherson, Director of Conservation Programs with the Coral Reef Alliance (CORAL) and author of the Malaria, Bedbugs, Sea Lice and Sunsets. CORAL is a member-supported, non-profit organization, dedicated to protecting the health of coral reefs by integrating ecosystem management, sustainable tourism, and community partnerships.

Rounding out the program was a musical contribution from Kevin Zelnio. Kevin could not make it live for the program, but he had a very good excuse.
