What is a National Geographic expedition really like?

"All of us there were unified because we dedicated our lives to the natural world, and care and value discovery and exploration." In this episode Alex interviews Carissa about the National Geographic expedition she just returned from. After two weeks aboard the Nautilus with Ocean Exploration Trust and National Geographic Society, Carissa and a team of explorers, storytellers, and other educators embarked on a journey to better understand marine mammals and sharks in the Main Hawaiians Islands. In this interview, Carissa gives behind-the-scenes details of what an expedition like this is truly like, her team's goals and outcomes for dolphins and whales in the area, and exactly how to participate in an experience like this.   Featured in the episode: Email us to get Cetacean Connections in your classroom: theconservationistcollective@gmail.com Read our daily Field Log from the expedition!
