As the weather improves, fieldwork activities are stepping up @DTUCoastalEco. A busy & exciting time, as long months of planning are put into action.
In the thread below, our PhD student Aris gives a brief update of his PhD journey using drone technology for habitat mapping👇
Check out our new 'KulturMus' project! We aim to develop and improve environmentally sustainable mussel production via on-bottom culture banks. This winter, our divers are sampling areas were wild and cultured mussel seed has been relayed🤿🥶https://t.co/3SheHn5MDA
🚨The Coastal Ecology group is now a new and official research section at DTU Aqua🚨
Our research will focus on human impacts, ecological interactions, and sustainable marine resources in Danish coastal areas:https://t.co/x5iJeUixK2

New paper out showing how to improve landbased cultivation of Palmaria palmata using nutrient pulses and interventional cultivation | SpringerLink #seaweed @VILLUMFONDEN https://t.co/qVnCbJHWWJ
With increased interest in seaweed production, here is some timely work from our Postdoc @PeterSchmedes optimizing methods for Dulse production #seaweed#algaeproduction
First study using real-time fishing intensity data finds that nearshore dredging reduces benthic community biomass and alters species composition. Observed effects varied across spatial scales and were highly dependent on local environment.

New PhD paper in @MEPS_IR: we use high-res fisheries data to examine benthic impacts of bivalve dredging in heavily eutrophic and estuarine areas. While effects were difficult to detect, benthic biomass and species composition were significantly affected

Are you a diver, photographer or do you live by the sea? We are calling on YOU to help gather images of our humble native oyster! Winning prizes inc photography workshop @OfficialZSL@BSACdivers membership,@OysterDiving training. Entry: https://t.co/yxTAxxEKqr #NativeOysterQuest
Results from the #BONUSOPTIMUS project using mussel cultivation as a tool to mitigate eutrophication in the #BalticSea were presented at the #HSC2020 HELCOM Stakeholder conference this week.
