A new partnership to restore life to the Solent’s seascape has been announced! Blue Marine and nine other organisations have secured a $5million grant from @EndangeredLands to reconnect some of the Solent’s most threatened and fragmented marine habitats.

It’s oyster paper day...

Today we see the release of more articles on genetics and genomics of the European native oyster... keep scrolling to find out more... 🦪🧬

Exiting seeing shoals of juvenile bass 🐟, gobies 🐟 and crabs 🦀 at the river Hamble @solentnative restoration site 🦪🌊

[Lauren Cook @laurens_colours]

Great week down at @portsmouthuni collecting samples at @solentnative! Haul included water & mud for #eDNA, plankton, crabs and oysters. Aim to see how the native oysters are doing, how these little ecosystem engineers are changing the biodiversity, and checking for disease. 1/2

NEW PAPER OUT 🥳🥳🥳 Great team effort!

What better way to start the week then 800 plus elvers in our elver trap on the river #GreatOuse near Needingworth in #Cambridgeshire

We also had a local photographer with us taking pictures of this iconic #Fenland species.

Cuttlefish blennies and huge crabs spotted in #BRUV footage from Langstone harbour @solentnative oyster reef monitoring!!🦑🦀🐟

Simple demonstration of seagrass drawing down carbon dioxide. Left- start at 393 ppm, slightly below the atmospheric mean. Right - after 5 min enclosure with transparent box - 241 ppm. Bare sediment control - no change in pCO2.

1st batch of roughly 50.000 native oysters seeds ready for transfer to experimental farming locations in Sardinia. We are all very proud of this first result! @NORA_Europe

[Fiona Woods @Fiona_Woods98]

#BRUV units ready to go out this afternoon and monitor #fish on the @solentnative #oyster reef 🤞🐟🦈

[Alice Jones @Alice_R_Jones]

Excited to share that we got funding to restore a large area of seagrass near Adelaide! 🌊🐟🦈🦐 Seagrasses take up lots of #BlueCarbon - a nature based solution to climate change 🌱. They’re also very important marine habitats: https://t.co/DDVQDWHYxr
