The Sea Lab Sidebar podcast is your quick dive into the science, people and discovery shaping our gulf. Join us as we explore the research and stories happening every day at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab.

In the first episode, Alabama Center of Excellence Deputy Director and seagrass expert Dottie Byron shares why seagrass is a foundational habitat, how they recruit birds to help restore seagrass beds, and what you can do to protect this vital habitat.

Future episodes will launch each week, and you can help to shape the podcast by submitting questions to our team on our Ask page.
