In this episode of Saltwater Stories, we take you beneath the surface of Hurricane Helene to explore how marine life weathers one of nature’s most destructive forces. Join us as we dive into the chaos hurricanes bring to ocean ecosystems—from towering waves and oxygen depletion to temperature shocks and freshwater floods. But it’s not all doom and gloom. We uncover the remarkable resilience of the ocean and the adaptations that allow marine creatures to survive these powerful storms. We’ll also tackle the pressing issue of climate change and its impact on the ocean’s ability to bounce back. What can we do to help protect these ecosystems? Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on the power of nature and our responsibility to safeguard the oceans for the future.
