Our Coast to Coral Community Lecture series is back for 2019! Come and join Reef Check Australia and friends at Underwater World Sealife - Mooloolaba, Sunshine Coast, Australia for an evening of discovery, inspiration and appreciation of our local marine, coastal and catchment environments. Each month we have a new, interesting and engaging speaker.

This month we'll hear from Shayan Barmand, from the Cleanwater Group. Shayan is a sustainability professional with seven years of experience working in the United States, Qatar, South Africa and Australia. Shayan worked with the United Nations Association in San Diego while completing a bachelors degree in International Relations.

As a post-graduate, he focused on global change science and Planetary Boundaries while studying climate change and sustainable development at the University of Cape Town and was a contributing author on the United Nations Environment Program’s 6th Global Environment Outlook report. 

He currently works with the Cleanwater Group in Coolum Beach, a profit for purpose business that focuses on reducing plastic pollution and other marine debris from entering our waterways and ocean.

Doors open at 6:15 pm for a 6:30 pm start. Stay after the event for a discussion with the presenter and other attendees and enjoy a pizza-rific snack.

6:15: Grab a seat
6:30: Talk kicks-off
7:15: Pizza & good sea-minded conversation!

Entry is $2 (which gets you pizza at the end).

This initiative is hosted by Reef Check Australia, and proudly supported by Sunshine Coast Council's Environment Levy partnerships grant and the June Canavan Foundation with amazing in-kind support from SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast.
