109. Joe Meisel: Barrier Reefs, Midwest to Marine Science, and the Marlin’s Fiery Eye

Joe Meisel is a scientist committed to protecting wild places and educating curious people. As a biologist, he has worked for 25 years with the Ceiba Foundation for Tropical Conservation, where he gets to study plants such as orchids, the ocean, and share the fascination through study abroad programs. Growing up in the American Midwest, Joe was a long way from the sea. Through following his own fascinations, Joe found himself working in the tropical Americas, co-creating a foundation, and ultimately teaching and writing a book on marine science. Joe also speaks on what it means to hold space for both the threats our world faces and simultaneously enjoy and revel in the beauty around us, so stay tuned for that.
