An evening’s talk by Dr Paul Broady – What’s in a teaspoonful of seawater?
There can’t be much can there? But we’re talking about extremely small microbes and some very large numbers are involved. Life in the ocean is dominated by microbes so even in a very small volume there are many different types.
The total number of individuals easily surpasses the human population of Christchurch! Also, different microbes perform different functions in the complex ecological webs of interaction that are active at this tiny scale.
Paul’s talk was popular last year – come and learn more about our fascinating marine environment.
Tuesday 5 March 2019, 5.30 – 7pm at Spark Place, ground floor – Tūranga, 60 Cathedral Square, Christchurch Central, Christchurch 8011.
The library venue at Tūranga is a 10 minute walk from the bus exchange.
Free but koha welcome to allay cost of venue hire.
