Seaspiracy Discussion
BehindTheSTEAHM's De'Marcus Robinson, led a panel discussion based on the topics investigated in Netflix's new documentary, Seaspiracy. This 2021 documentary film focused on the environmental impact of fishing directed by and starring Ali Tabrizi. The film has garnered immediate attention in several countries and mixed reviews. Everyone can agree that there is much work to be done to protect our oceans and marine life. This diverse and intellectual panel discussed their perceptions on the issues with ocean and marine life conservation and how we can collaboratively work to tackle these problems.

Our team decided to launch a series to clear the misconceptions concerning unique professions. Our interview series began with an interview with Camille Gaynus. This interview discussed the misconceptions of her field and her experience as a researcher. Our next episode featured Eiress Wicks. We discussed her journey to become a music therapist and interesting facts about the fusion of arts and science.
