In the seventh episode of the podcast series Nowtilus. Stories from an urban lagoon in the 21st century we will discover the lagoon and the varieties of aquatic creatures that inhabit it, seeking to understand the changes that have taken place in recent years. We will be doing this in the company of Luigi Divari, an expert in fishing and the sea, author, and painter of magnificent watercolors that feature traditional boats and the aquatic fauna of Venice, and Matteo Stocco, documentary filmmaker, who will talk to us about “Metagoon”, a research project that gathers interviews with researchers, scientists and fishermen, a plurality of perspectives from people who live and work in the lagoon environment.
