Hello and welcome back to the Wild About conservation Podcast. In this episode Lexi and Hannah talk to Heidi Meyer, we go into all things sponge, what they eat and where they are as well as Heidi’s work with underwater robots, image analysis and life on research cruises. This is the ideal episode to learn about an underappreciated ecosystem engineer of our water environments.

This episode is dedicated to Hans Tore Rapp, Heidi's late supervisor and mentor. His love of sponges and expertise will never be forgotten.
