Experts from CoralWatch will explore how bleaching events are related to climate change and what you can do as an individual to protect reefs. The session will also address the current heat wave and bleaching events occurring in the Northern Hemisphere and what this might mean for the Great Barrier Reef as we head into summer.  Participants will also have the opportunity to test their reef analysis skills with the help of CoralWatch. 

Light refreshments will be provided for those attending in person.
