Marine Ecologist | Nitrogen pollution on coral reefs & seagrass in the Maldives with SANH | Blue Carbon Ecosystems and Policy | PhD Student @EdinburghUni
Delighted that our paper on sea cucumber #aquaculture farming in southwest #Madagascar is published! Experiments showed that at a certain density, farmed ‘zanga’ resulted in an increase in #seagrass growth rates, helping support vital #ecosystem services! https://t.co/PNr4VkEVBO
It's that time of year again! 🌊
Next week we kick off the #EdinburghOceanLeaders Field Mission with the 2024 Ocean Leaders in Madeira🌎
Excited for a week packed with adventure, team building and ocean learning.
Kicked off the Edinburgh Ocean Leaders #FieldMission with TV interviews and learning about the fascinating work of the @MARE_Madeira lab 🌊
Amazing to see how creativity and perseverance can fuel impactful science on a budget
#EdinburghOceanLeaders
Last week, we held a workshop on our @GCRFNitrogenHub work to discuss marine nitrogen pollution. Participants engaged in discussions, field activities, & we shared research results, & launched a Nitrogen module on Masmahaaveshi. Thanks to all, especially the @uniofedinburgh team.
Thank you to all those who engaged with MRRs and UofE's SANH workshop over the past couple of days
Super discussions on emerging priorities for sustainable #nitrogen management in the Maldives
🐟🐡🦈
As we wrap up the @GCRFnitrogenHub, we're excited to discuss the next steps with the communities of Thoddoo, Laamu Gan and key government stakeholders.
The Maldivian Government has announced it will not resume longline fishing. A decision that supports local fishers and threatened species of sharks, rays and turtles 🦈
Congratulations to our Maldivian colleagues for working tirelessly to make this happen 👏
🚨🚨New paper and first PhD chapter🚨🚨
Rapid seagrass meadow expansion in an Indian Ocean bright spot
We show that Maldivian seagrass habitat has expanded 3-fold in area over the last two decades and the habitat is associated with inhabited islands!

Did you know that seagrass meadows across the Indo-Pacific region are of primary importance for food supply in coastal communities?
- but unfortunately, these fishery resources are rapidly decreasing in both number and size?
