SAVING CORAL REEFS WITH 3-D TECHNOLOG...Description
All over the world, coral reefs face drastic declines in health due to disease, overfishing, rising ocean temperatures, and other stressors. Until recently it has been difficult to document these changes, due to lack of detailed baseline information on growth and degradation of coral colonies. The Seacoast Memorial Lecture Series is proud to present Yasmeen Smalley-Norman, Vice President of The Hydrous, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing coral reefs to life, who will share her unique perspective on this urgent problem in her presentation, ?Saving Coral Reefs with 3-D Technology.? This event is free and open to the public. Everyone is welcome. Please join us on Tuesday, April 12, 2016, 1:30 pm, at the Durham Evangelical Church, 114 Dover Road (Route 108), Durham, NH, to learn about coral reef ecosystems and the high-resolution 3-D mapping technology that is providing a new tool to monitor the health of reefs. Ms. Smalley-Norman, a professional underwater photographer, marine science communicator, and conservationist, has travelled the globe to document the endangered wonders of our oceans through her extraordinary images and 3-D mapping. A PADI dive master and Explorers Club member, she holds BFA and BS degrees in photography, supplemented by her experiences as a Women Divers Hall of Fame scholarship recipient, Rolex Our World Underwater intern, and National Park Service Submerged Resources Center intern. The Seacoast Memorial Lecture Series is a public service presentation of the Active Retirement Association (ARA). The ARA is supported by annual dues from its 300+ members who represent 35 towns and cities in southern Maine and New Hampshire.
