Episode 175: Sea Snakes are Striking

Episode 175: Sea Snakes are Striking

We continue to focus on the ocean during Plastic Free July and this week we cover the family of Sea Snakes. We could not just pick one, so we go ahead and cover the generalities of the 69 or so species of Sea Snakes. While highly venomous, Sea Snakes are actually quite docile and are important contributors of many of our oceanic habitats.
