So proud to announce that my first paper has been published! his was one of the first bits of data analysis I did at @projectseagrass.bsky.social. Because of in-situ temperature loggers, we were able to find a spike in temperature and identify a marine heatwave. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

It's always incredible to get to share our work at @projectseagrass.bsky.social with others. Seagrass meadows are an essential ecosystem and restoring them is key to healthy oceans and communities. Though as the article notes, it's not always straightforward or easy!

‘Amazing’: how to grow a meadow in the sea

I was able to attend the UK Seagrass Symposium this past week, and present my MSc dissertation and my work with @projectseagrass.bsky.social. It was incredible to be a part of putting this conference on and to get to see all the @sosbangor.bsky.social students who are working in seagrass!

What better way to spend both World Seagrass day and St Davids day than planting heaps of seagrass out in North Wales !!! 🌱🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @projectseagrass.bsky.social @marinehgreen.bsky.social @patterson-00.bsky.social Heather Robinson

Happy World Seagrass Day 2025! 🌱 This World Seagrass Day we’ll be shining a spotlight on Water Quality. There's still time to sign up to for our webinar on Thursday 6th March where we’ll be discussing how water quality is impacting seagrass and what we can do about it: ow.ly/j64i50V48jU

Americans are about to discover how science agencies fund universities. In both red and blue states. Slashing science = slashing jobs. Period.

Very clear the current regime has no intention of continuing to allow actual basic science in any form to continue with federal funding in the US.

Solid article on NSF cancelling all grant reviews this week. www.npr.org/sections/sho... Oy gevault!

National Science Foundation freezes grant review in response to Trump executive orders

The National Science Foundation has canceled all grant review panels this week. It's unclear how long the pause could last.

Positive news to start the New Year! Take a look at the first flower from the Zostera marina plants grown from seeds produced at our seagrass nursery.

New reseach out today from my time at Bowdoin (collabs aren't on bs yet): tinyurl.com/3cynp4rr We found positive interactions between eelgrass and oysters in co-culture in ambient conditions. Interactions break down under future conditions (warming, OA, or both).

Hi all! My name is Bridget, I'm a research assistant with Project Seagrass in the UK. I just finished my MSc in marine biology on #seagrass 🌱, functional traits 🐛, and carbon storage 🪴. I'm originally from the US and did my BA at Bowdoin College in 2023. Excited to be here and chat #MarineEcology!
