A presentation and talk facilitated by Katy Cottrell, Matteo Collina and Alice Rogers.

Marine Reserves have obvious benefits to the environment, protecting species and providing underwater appeal to snorkelers and divers but a little realised benefit is what they can offer to artists of all mediums. Join artist Katy Cottrell as she chats with academic researcher Matteo Collina and director of the Victoria University Coastal Ecology Lab – Alice Rogers. Alice and Matteo will talk about their work with marine reserves from a scientific perspective and how this has inspired the artworks by Katy Cottrell and Rick Allender for their exhibition Taputeranga: Above and Below.
