You failed to fact check. CalCOFI does not contribute to sardine assessments. SWFSC egg-production and now acoustic-trawl surveys provide the observation data to inform assessments and managers. In 2011, published in 2012, data from the acoustic-trawl surveys allowed SWFSC scientists to predict the Cannery Row redux. In 2015, the sardine fishery was closed. In 2019, the sardine stock was declared overfished.

I love this show. It’s so entertaining and informative at the same time. Emily is wonderful. Please do another season!

I love the book selections so far and how the plot devices in each book are well researched, explaining the relationship (or lack thereof) between fact and fiction. I always look forward to the next installment!

Wonderful podcast.., I learned important information about these wonderful animals and what we can do to share our space on earth with them. Loved the feel of this piece
