The conference took place at UNESCO in Paris and was a brilliant opportunity to meet experts in the field of Marine Biology and explore how artists can help to visualise science and make the complex issues that are being addressed more accessible to the wider public.
Coast looks to foster relationships between arts, politics and science and attending EurOCEAN reenforced this. Look out for more collaborations later on this year!
