For the first time, I found myself overtaken by events. Because whilst I was busy creating an audio story about the North Sea getting warmer and warmer, the sea itself broke all temperature records. And a previously overlooked topic was suddenly all over the news. (Photo made by AI)
Even so, I learnt things about the inhabitants of the North Sea that don’t appear in any article. So do have a listen to the new podcast, online 15 oct. Also take a look at this graph made by Katja Philipart: 150 years of temperature data for the Marsdiep. It’s clear that all the heat records were set in the last 10 years.
Whilst you’re listening, I’ll be working on the next story. It’s a major project about the legendary seabird, the gannet. A bird that can be seen as a barometer of the changes taking place in the sea. Because it’s clear that there are more and more changes.
