Overview“The ocean looks vast and abundant from the surface, but underneath, a silent crisis is unfolding.”When we think of marine conservation, images of coral reefs and majestic whales often come to mind. But there is a "hidden hero" that helps anchor the entire marine ecosystem—the underwater meadows of seagrass. These meadows are vital to the ocean’s lungs, its carbon vaults, and as a nursery for countless species. Yet, they are disappearing at an alarming rate.Join us for an evening of exploration with Dr. Katie Watson, a leading marine ecologist and Co-Chair of the IUCN Seagrass Specialist Group. We will go beyond the surface to understand the intricate balance between restoration, conservation, and human impact.Grab a drink ?, meet other curious minds ?, and uncover the stories behind marine life.Agenda7:30 PM – Doors open: seat yourself and order food/drinks7:55 PM – Host introduction8:00 PM – Talk begins8:40 PM – Q&A9:00 PM – Stay and mingle with the speaker and fellow curious mindsOnly at TapTalks. ?**This ticket does NOT include any food & beverage.
