This episode is all about those gross jelly blobs that you might see in marinas (AKA Bryozoans!). Bill and Steve are joined by Jajean Rose-Burney, Deputy Executive Director of the Western New York Land Conservancy (WNYLC). Jajean guides Bill and Steve around The College Lodge Forest in Chautauqua County, NY, a wildlife-rich property that the WNYLC is seeking to preserve. Episode Notes Steve mentioned that bryzoans sometimes compete with “turnicates”, but he meant to say “tunicates”. These are aquatic invertebrate animals.
