Description

Here's the scenario...You're walking on a deserted Block Island beach and come upon a seal pup. It just seems to be laying there. Is it ok? Is it hurt? Is it sick? What exactly do you do?You call Sarah Callan, Mystic Aquarium's Marine Life Rescue Coordinator. Or you can just listen to our interview with Sarah where she explains how to tell if an animal is in distress or simply just taking a break from swimming around and catching food.In this delightful chat Rich and Marc learn all about the path Sarah took towards her latest position at Mystic Aquarium. Turns out it's an interesting one! Initially Sarah went all the way to Australia to play ice hockey but on the way back to the USA she took a six month detour to a deserted island off of Hawaii where she studied marine life.These days Sarah spends her time nursing everything from seal pups to manatees (yes, they sometimes make their way up to New England!) back to health. To say she loves her work is an understatement. And Sarah is ALWAYS happy to talk about some of the simple things we can do to help protect our environment and our underwater allies.

Rich Tretheway and Marc Scortino live on Block Island, a seven miles-long by three miles-wide rock thirteen miles off the southeastern tip of Rhode Island. Life can get...well...kind of interesting out there. The island is populated by a host of colorful and eccentric characters who coexist the best they can in extremely close quarters. When summer hits and the ferry boats roll in packed with tourists, chaos sometimes ensues. Tune in to find out how the inhabitants of Block Island deal with it...or not deal with it. *While the things we talk about on the podcast shouldn't offend too many people, some explicit language is used.
