We continue to focus on the ocean during Plastic Free July and this week we cover the family of Sea Snakes. We could not just pick one, so we go ahead and cover the generalities of the 69 or so species of Sea Snakes. While highly venomous, Sea Snakes are actually quite docile and are important contributors of many of our oceanic habitats.   Plastic Free Eco Challenge Website   For one cup of "good" coffee a month you can support your favorite podcast and give back to conservation.
