Lunch dialogue - Reef Restauration: where arts and sciences meet

Worldwide crucial reef ecosystems are threatened by various stressors such as climate change and over fishing, often with destructive fishing techniques. How can artificial and other surrogate reefs play a role in reef rehabilitation? How can art and ecology support optimal design in all this? This question inspired Saskia Oosterbroek of the Marine Animal Ecology group of WUR to organise this exhibition and lunch dialogue in collaboration with Impulse.
