Imagine you are working to grow a beautiful and productive garden… And then imagine doing that underwater! My research aims to enable the repair and regeneration of Australia’s incredible coastal and marine ecosystems over really big areas. In addition to working out specific techniques, this involves finding ways for people to work effectively together and to navigate complexities of working in busy shared coastal zones. I’ll share some of the challenges and achievements that restoration super heroes are doing nationally to restore our valuable coasts.

About the BEAKER STREET ROVING SCIENTIST PROGRAM
Each August, hundreds of Roving Scientists descend upon Hobart, filling up pubs and chatting to strangers as part of Beaker Street Festival. Discover a new world down the lens of microscope, and joining the least-boring bar conversations you’ve ever heard and these free (the chats – not the drinks) events.
For Scientists, Beaker Street’s Roving Scientist Program offers an excellent outreach, professional development, and networking opportunity. It’s the nerdiest and funnest way to share your research with the public, expand your network, and be inspired by leaders in all sectors of science and science communication.
