News at Ten | Discovery The Life Scientific: Tim Lamont
Jim Al-Khalili meets Tim Lamont, a young ecologist making waves restoring coral reefs. Tim Lamont is a young scientist making waves. Arriving on the Great Barrier Reef after a mass bleaching event, Tim saw his research plans disappear and was personally devastated by the destruction. But from that event he discovered a novel way to restore coral reefs. Playing the sounds of a healthy coral reef entices fish in to recolonise the wrecked reefs. Tim's emotional journey forced him to realise that environmental scientists can no longer just observe. They need to find new prisms with which to view the world and to intervene to save or protect the natural environment. [Monday 27 February 2023]
