I’m guest hosting Your Call’s One Planet Series today, where we’ll discuss the state of the Colorado River under severe drought conditions. 40 million people depend on the river, as one of the most important water sources of freshwater in the country. But its flows have decreased 20 percent in the last 30 years. Joining us to discuss its current conditions and potential future will be Alex Hager, water and environment reporter covering the Colorado River basin for KUNC.
Then later in the program, we’ll cover the mini-art exhibit Kelp! currently running at 836M gallery in North Beach in San Francisco. It brings attention to one of the most beautiful and often overlooked ocean flora in northern California. Joining us will be:
- Josie Iselin, fine art photographer, and author of The Curious World of Seaweed
- Tristin Anoush McHugh, ecologist, kelp forest restoration practitioner, and the Kelp Project Director with The Nature Conservancy
