Chesapeake Bay's SAV expanded by 7% to 82,937 acres in 2023. 🌱🌊📈 It's an important indicator of Bay health, providing critical habitat for many species.

What an amazing experience at the 2024 world seagrass conference in Italy! I feel grateful to have attended and shared my research on Zostera marina seeds while learning about much more!

Thank you to @VIMS_News, @vaseagrant for making this opportunity possible.

It's #WorldSeagrassDay! Here are 5 amazing things these underwater, flowering plants do for our planet and why we need to protect them 🌊🌾👇

[Alyson Hall @EcoAlyHall]

So excited to attend my first in person @CERFScience conference and meet everyone!

Come say hi and you could be the proud owner of some "Zos-star" stickers made with the beautiful @IAN_UMCES graphic of Zostera sp. 🌱 #CERF2023

New skill unlocked: coring underwater 🤿

Highlight of my summer has been collecting 145 sediment cores in seagrass meadows for a blue carbon project with this killer team!

Took a break from salt water this week and explored freshwater systems!What a great end of a field trip for a @VIMS_News graduate class focusing on California Rivers and their ecosystems.

It’s #WorldSeagrassDay!🌊🌱

🌱 Seagrass is found around the globe, from the tropics to the colder temperate and arctic regions. It supports high biodiversity, removes carbon from our atmosphere and can help protect our shorelines from erosion.

It’s #WorldSeagrassDay!🌊🌱 Here's a small reminder from @ProjectSeagrass of why seagrass is so amazing

Excited to be working with @PMESensors, thank you for the opportunity!

[Precision Measurement Engineering (PME) @PMESensors]

We are pleased to announce Alyson Hall as a participating researcher in PME's New Researcher Program. Alyson is studying how human stressors, like rising temperatures and nutrient pollution, affect seagrass ecosystem processes in the Chesapeake Bay. https://t.co/qPL0mOi4n2

[Alyson Hall @EcoAlyHall]

@ShellfishFarmer Yes! And for my estimates, roots are included in my seagrass treatments.

[Alyson Hall @EcoAlyHall]

@ShellfishFarmer Thank you for the question! I'm correcting for that in three ways: my bare sediment chambers, sediment samples, and by looking at literature values for sediment metabolism in my areas.

[Alyson Hall @EcoAlyHall]

I've been spending a lot of facetime underwater with my benthic chambers. Can't wait to start digging into the data!

[Precision Measurement Engineering (PME) @PMESensors]

Alyson Hall, a Ph.D. Student and graduate research assistant at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) is actively looking for ways to contribute to seagrass conservation. In order to estimate carbon uptake, Alyson measures oxygen flux within seagrass communities using

Super excited to speak at the Benthic Ecology Meeting 2022 tomorrow, diving into what affects seagrass patch and meadow stability! @benthicecology #BEM2022 #BEMS

Such a great experience learning how to mix policy and science!

[VIMS-School of Marine Science @VIMS_Grad_Dean]

@VIMS_News students spent this week at the @WMDCCenter in #WashingtonDC for the Marine Policy course. Students met with policy makers, federal research scientists, and professionals involved in policy management and development, as well as connected with VIMS #Alumni in DC.
