SUMMARY:Science on Tap
DESCRIPTION:\nJoin us in the Bierhall for a Science on Tap Presentation! \n\n\n\n6:30pm – Gather7:00pm – Presentation Begins\n\n\n\nScience On Tap is a monthly series of informal talks led by scientists that explore current research topics and the importance of science in our daily life. Each talk takes place in a relaxed pub atmosphere where communication flows freely between scientists and the public. Co-presented by Skidmore’s Environmental Studies and Sciences Program and Sustainable Saratoga, these monthly opportunities for discussion reflect the unique intellectual culture of the greater Capital Region and promote scientific literacy.\n\n\n\nAdmission is free and all ages are welcome. The talk will start promptly at 7:00pm.\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Margaux Hein\n\n\n\nTitle: Restoring Coral Reefs: Science, Hope, and Climate Reality\n\n\n\nTalk Description: Coral reefs are often called the rainforests of the sea, yet many are disappearing faster than we ever imagined. Rising ocean temperatures, pollution, and overfishing are pushing reefs toward a tipping point, but all is not lost. Around the world, scientists, communities, and practitioners are working to give reefs a fighting chance.\n\n\n\nIn this talk, I’ll introduce what coral reef restoration really means (hint: it’s more than just planting coral), and explore the different strategies being used from the Caribbean to the Pacific. I’ll show why there’s no one-size-fits-all solution: what works in one place may fail in another, depending on local threats, people, and ecosystems. From coral nurseries and reef gardening to working with nature and supporting reef resilience, restoration is as much about social and cultural context as it is about science.\n\n\n\nFinally, we’ll take an honest look at the future of coral reefs in a warming world. What can restoration realistically achieve? Where does it help most, and where does it fall short? And how can hope, grounded in science and climate reality, guide the next chapter of reef conservation?\n\n\n\nWhether you love the ocean, worry about climate change, or simply enjoy a good story over a pint, this talk will leave you with a clearer picture of what’s possible and what’s at stake for the world’s coral reefs.\n\n\n\nBio: Dr. Margaux Hein is a marine biologist, Founder and Lead Consultant of MER Research and Consulting ( http://merconuslting.org/ ). Originally from the Principality of Monaco, she obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Science at the University of Queensland ( https://www.uq.edu.au/ ) and her Master’s and Doctorate at  James Cook University ( https://www.jcu.edu.au/ ) in Australia. Her expertise and passion revolve around coral reefs and finding ways to protect and conserve them in the face of rising environmental and climatic challenges. Her research focuses on improving the effectiveness of coral reef restoration efforts across socio-economic and ecological scales. \n\n\n\nWith projects around the world since 2012, she is currently acting as an official consultant with the International Coral Reef Initiative ( http://icriforum.org/ ), the  Reef Resilience Network ( https://www.reefresilience.org/ ), The Nature Conservancy ( http://www.tnc.org/ ), and Fondation Prince Albert II de Monaco ( https://www.fpa2.org/ ).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease Note: Beer will be flowing, but the Bierhall kitchen will not be open. Come early to get a bite to eat in the Taproom across the street!\n
