“Our Marine Home” holds space for South Australian’s marine environment. More than the joys of beautiful beaches, South Australia’s oceans are home to rich biodiversity and play an active role in climate regulation. Human activities and climate change are causing detrimental impacts to our oceans. But there are opportunities to help.
Panellists intentionally represent diverse perspectives and theories of change. The discussion will touch on the condition of our marine home, threats to it and what we as people and as a state can do. Panelists will include Tim Jarvis - a British-Australian environmental explorer, adventurer, climber, author and documentary filmmaker invited represent diverse perspectives and engagement with the marine environment.
On attending this event, we ask you to first ponder the question: How can South Australia best protect its Marine Home? Please come with your answer prepared.
“Our Marine Home” is part of a series of conversations held during the Nature Festival exploring the nature in our home of South Australia. These conversations are held by multi-disciplinary key players to discuss what is currently happening, barriers to solutions in South Australia and opportunities at the community, industry and state level.
This series of events was formed from a partnership between Nature Festival, the State Library, the Environment Institute at the University of Adelaide and Dynamic State.
