Pint of View Lecture: Coral & Its Sea-tuationship

A lecture on coral reef ecology and coastal symbiosis

Welcome to Pint of View Goa where science steps out of classrooms and into conversation. Inspired by the Lectures on Tap movement and adapted for India, Pint of View creates space for research, storytelling, and curiosity to meet in an informal setting.

Just off Goa’s coast lies a complex ecological relationship shaping the waters, shores, and marine life that define this place. In Goa and its Coral Sea-tuationship, coral reef restoration practitioner Venkat Charloo takes us beneath the surface to examine how reefs and land interact, what symbiosis really means in a coastal context, and how shifting marine systems affect life above water.

This is not a classroom lecture, but an invitation to see Goa differently.

What to Expect

• A 45-minute research-led lecture

• 15–20 minutes of audience Q&A

• Open discussion and networking after the session

• 1 free L7 Cider included in the ticket
