Nudibranchs and Dock Fouling with Luan Roberts
Listen now
Description
Lean over the edge of the dock, and peer beneath. What creatures have made their home here, on the artificial structures of the waters edge? Among the limpets and barnacles, a creature is gliding along, and it is this dazzling animal we've come to see. Tom chats with Luan Roberts about nudibranchs, and learns all about their lives, as well as about the broader world of dock fouling (rock pooling, but punk). Luan offers advice and guidance to those of us that find the process of engaging with the natural world challenging, as Tom shares the self-doubt and frustration he feels in facing the wild.
