We start today's episode with the Marine Social Science Segment with Dr. Edd Hind-Ozan discussing a news article demonstrating a great Industrial-Government-Science Partnership to monitor whales to prevent entanglement.

We continue with the show as I describe the carbon tax in Canada and how the Federal Government will use the tax.
