Happy #worldseagrassday! 🌱 Strange to think that I’ve been working with these indomitable little marine plants on and off for the past ten years now. The video below was taken from drone, it shows an emerged intertidal eelgrass meadow in South West England criss-crossed with tidal channels.

Congratulations!! Could you help me advertise this PhD position on seagrass conservation and physiology? Thanks

Thanks to Oceanographic magazine for this nice article on our new paper about the value and decline of #sustainable #fisheries oceanographicmagazine.com/news/urgent-... @thembauk.bsky.social @plymbiomarsci.bsky.social @plymuni.bsky.social @newcastleuni.bsky.social 🐟

Good news stories such as this show that we absolutely can put nature into recovery - with the right political will and support - but we need a lot more of this to really bend the curve of biodiversity decline.. 🙌💚💪🌱 #wildlife #biodiversity #nature #rewilding #restoration

Informative thread on the recent estimates of the ocean carbon sink and its variability 🧵🧪

Judith Hauck@jhauck.bsky.social · 2y ago

The ocean takes up anthropogenic CO₂ emissions, 26% on average over the past decade. The #GlobalCarbonBudget 2024 confirms that the ocean sink increased in 2023 after 3 years of stagnation due to rare triple La Niña event. 2023 was an El Niño year, with an expected increase in the sink. 🔽 🌊 1/10

It’s #WorldSeagrassDay 🌊 Seagrass meadows are biodiversity hotspots, home to thousands of species. What's more, they act as incredible carbon sinks, helping combat climate change. But 92% of the UK’s seagrass has been lost. Protecting & restoring what we have left is vital.
