Large bodies of water like the Pamlico Sound absorb carbon dioxide like a sponge. But when a tropical storm or hurricane hits, it agitates the water releasing extensive amounts of CO2 into the air. This week on the Down East Journal, we speak to a coastal scientist about the harmful effects of “burping estuaries.” And, we’ll talk about plans for a new children’s museum in Jacksonville. The Down East Journal airs Friday at noon on all of the PRE stations. And Saturday at noon on News and Ideas.
