Talk: Colin will take us through the multimedia art-science hybrid project Coral Morphologic he co-founded in Miami in 2007. He will talk about growing corals in the Coral Morphologic Lab, the Coral City Camera livestreaming project, the future of coral restoration, and how hobbyists can get involved.

Bio: Colin Foord is a marine biologist, coral aquaculturist, artist, and filmmaker educated at the University of Miami and James Cook University in Australia. He is co-founder of marine biological art duo Coral Morphologic, through which he developed the world's first multimedia coral aquaculture studio located in the heart of Miami. It is Colin’s mission to bridge the gap between art and science by exploring corals in a relatable fashion, such that people of all ages can relate with the mystery and importance of conserving the world's tropical reefs.

Beyond Miami, Colin has dived the reefs of Indonesia, Jamaica, Australia, Fiji, Cook Islands, Bahamas, Hawaii, Arabian Gulf, Colombia, Dominican Republic, and the Solomon Islands. His work has been featured by the BBC, Nat Geo Channel, AP, The New Yorker, the Miami Herald, Vice Magazine, NPR, The New York Times, and CBS Morning News.
