Free public evening TEAtime lecture: Coral Reefs in Crisis. 14th March 2012
Coral reefs are one of the most diverse and productive ecosystems on the planet. Approximately 500 million people rely directly on coral reefs; they provide income through tourism and fisheries, coastal protection through dissipation of wave and storm energy and are a key source of protein for dependent populations in less economically developed countries. In 2008, it was estimated that 19% of the worlds corals reefs have already been lost and that a further 15% are under the imminent threat of being lost within the next 10-20 years. This talk will explore the threats to coral reefs, providing an insight into how natural and man-made stressors affect these magnificent structures.
This free talk is open to local schools, members of the public, and staff and students of the University. Booking is advisable: to book your place contact the TEAtime Coordinator or tel: 02380 598710.
