About this Event
Ecological Evolution, Adaptation & Climate Action: The Vanishing Underwater Forests
生態演化、適應與氣候行動：逆轉「水下森林」的消亡
Marine ecologist, Conservationist, Underwater Photographer | The University of Hong Kong
“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.
