OUR CHANGING OCEANS

If you enjoyed the stunning imagery in the recent David Attenborough documentary Ocean, this session takes you a step further beneath the surface. We’ll explore some of the key scientific findings that reveal how marine environments are shifting — and how life-forms from whales to microscopic bacteria are responding. While the picture is complex and sometimes confronting, there is also a growing knowledge of practical actions we can take to reduce our impact on these extraordinary ecosystems.
