In this episode, we explore the wide variety of intentional and unintentional ways marine invasive species have traveled throughout the world. We'll be discussing how the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles somehow caused a biological invasion, high-tech scientific equipment transporting invasive species to the deep sea, and how climate change is helping invasive species dominate the ocean.
