As the world races to slow global heating by reducing carbon emissions, coral reefs around the world are already struggling to cope with the rate of environmental change. Ignoring their decline is not an option. How can we best support the resilience of these ecosystems, and the communities that depend on them, in the coming decades?
This Symposium will enable reef stewards of all kinds; practitioners, managers, researchers, engineers, Traditional Owners, industry leaders – to share and discuss recent events, new knowledge and innovations, and how we might work more effectively to meet current and future challenges.
Taking place in Cairns Queensland April 16-18 at Pullman Reef Hotel, the program of ~120 speakers is currently being finalised and the Symposium will open for registration soon. For those unable to attend in-person, the event will be livestreamed globally, with options for virtual participation via a free app.
This is a FREE event made possible by generous organisers and funding from the Australian Government.
