On July 27, 2021, we enjoyed a captivating evening with Dr. Gretchen Coffman as she explored the importance of mangroves and coral reefs to the health of ocean ecosystems. Dr. Coffman discussed her work connecting the interdependencies of coastal flora (e.g., mangroves) to ocean habitat health and the support of local communities who are essential in the stewardship required for ecosystem restoration and sustainable fisheries. Dr. Coffman also related her work to the United Nations’ “Decade of Ecosystem Restoration” and the “30x30” initiative calling for 30 percent of the planet to be protected and managed for nature by 2030.
