SUMMARY
The November talk will be given by Dr Tim Ferrero who will be talking about the Solent Seagrass Restoration Project.

Seagrasses are the only flowering plants able to live in seawater. Under the right conditions they can form underwater meadows. These meadows are vital marine habitats, important for supporting biodiversity, storing “Blue Carbon” and providing many more ecosystem services. The Solent supports internationally important seagrass meadows and sadly greater than 90% of the seagrass in the North Atlantic has been lost over the last 100 years.

ABOUT OUR TALKS
We thank you for your attendance at our talks and look forward to seeing you this evening.

Our regular programme of Café Scientifique Salisbury events are free to attend and there is no need to book places. For special events, there may be a small charge and booking may be required but these are typically in addition to the usual programme of events. Keep up to date with all our activities via Twitter, Facebook or sign up to our mailing list. Feel free to contact us with any queries although you may find the answer you need in our Frequently Asked Questions.

There are collection tins at the venue and any donations are gratefully received but recommend a minimum of £3. We use these to help cover running costs and make modest contributions to speaker's expenses (only where necessary; speakers are not paid to give talks and, in most cases, they cover their own expenses too).

Events open at 7.00pm for a 7.30pm start unless otherwise indicated.
