Cinéma Scientifique: Screening of short movies followed by 20 minutes discussions with French and Australian experts.
Oceans are as precious as they are vulnerable. They provide food and oxygen, regulate our climate, and are home to a wide variety of species, but they are threatened by pollution, destruction of habitats, overfishing, and climate change. Join us for a short-movies-discussion night, to learn more about oceans with experts.
