Join us for a beneath-the-surface look at how kelp and communities are restoring our coasts with seaweed experts Prof. Chris Hepburn (Department of Marine Science, University of Otago) and Dr Daniel Pritchard (TMK Research).
Imagine coastlines where kelp forests thrive, communities prosper, and the ocean gives back more than it takes. This talk explores how regenerative aquaculture and local innovation are weaving nature and economy back together—restoring not just ecosystems, but futures.
This talk accompanies the exhibition ‘J.M. Lofley: Ocean oracles and odysseys’, at the Forrester Gallery 4 October - 7 December 2025.
