Join us for Lunch + Learn with Dr. James W. Porter, UGA Distinguished Professor of Ecology and Emmy award winner, as we explore the surprising story of why old MARTA train cars are being repurposed to create homes for fish, sea turtles, and coral off the coast of Georgia! You’ll also hear about real-life ocean conservation efforts happening at Molokini Coral Reef State Park, like removing old bombs from the water, and how Georgia is playing a key role in helping restore these magical underwater worlds.
STAY + EXPLORE!
Stick around after the talk to paint your own MARTA train car, reimagined as a colorful coral reef habitat.
