Report of GLOMAR PhD student Ines Stuhldreier about her participation in the 17th Reef Conservation UK, London, United Kingdom, 6 December 2014
The 17th Reef Conservation UK conference was hosted by the Zoological Society of London in the London Zoo in England. Numerous talks and speed talks were held within the sessions Reef Fish Ecology, Coral Reef Resilience, Molecular tools on Reefs and Coral Reef Conservation. During the coffee breaks and the lunch break, researchers (including myself) presented posters about their projects.
The atmosphere of the event was very friendly and open. Participants included Bachelor and Master Students as well as senior coral reef scientists and representatives of different research foundations and social media. All talks were of very high quality in research and presentation. Especially inspiring for me was the talk of Prof. Peter Mumby about managing the resilience of coral reefs. During the poster sessions I then had the opportunity to communicate my own research which I conducted in Costa Rica over the last year to the conference participants. It is always a great practice to condense your work to one page and several minutes of talking, and you have to focus your key findings. I am happy that many people showed interest in my work and I received positive comments about my poster structure and presentation. During the whole conference I benefitted from the lively exchange and fruitful discussions with other researchers as the event was relatively small and enabled me to talk to many people. Among other things I was able to talk about a coral disease I observed during my fieldwork in Costa Rica with Dr. Courtney Couch, a coral disease specialist from Hawaii.
I deeply enjoyed the conference, during which I had the chance to meet and interact with several international leading scientists including Prof. Peter Mumby, Prof. Jörg Wiedenmann and Prof. Charles Sheppard. The following drinks reception in the London Zoo aquarium and dinner in a local pub encouraged further communication in a very open and relaxed atmosphere.
In general, participating in the 17th RCUK allowed me to strengthen my scientific network, to present my own study and to learn about other researchers’ work and new approaches in coral reef science. Special thanks to GLOMAR who supported my participation in the conference.
