Download Ep 7: Bonus - Meeting Some Whales

To help protect the North Atlantic Right Whale, boats and ships have to keep over 500 yards away from the species. There are exceptions for scientific vessels tasked with measuring the
creatures, and so Rhod climbs aboard scientist Michael Moore’s sailboat on a working trip around Cape Cod Bay. Having looked into the issues of trying to protect these mysterious and threatened creatures of the deep, he finally gets as close as anyone can get to them and watches them living their lives while discovering how scientists assess their health.
