New recognition of the major contribution of healthy kelp forests to the global economy and as part of any climate solution. (Not to mention, they're gorgeous!) https://t.co/09ytky25Gr @NatureComms @UNSW @EgerAaron @KelpAlliance @gvconroy #EarthDay2023 #OceanClimateAction

Thursday #herring highlights with Planet satellite imagery captured across #BC yesterday.

North of Prince Rupert, West Coast Vancouver Island and around Cumshewa Inlet in Haida Gwaii just glowing yesterday.

And thanks to the Kuu / Ku modeling community forum hosts

[Margot Hessing-Lewis @HessingLewis]

A habitat mapping and modeling get-together too!

Also it will be my birthday and maybe Northern Lights will be on display 🤞

[Hakai Institute @HakaiInstitute]

Join ocean scientist Vienna Saccomanno on a mission to map kelp strongholds in California with the help of Hakai's @LubaReshitnyk, a drone, and the Kelp-O-Matic

#WorldSeagrassDay 🌱

I enjoy every opportunity I get to work in these beautiful ecosystems! And enjoy seeing all the work being done in meadows around the world 🌎

📅Join us online: Mar 1, 12pm PST
A conversation on how we can predict the rate of glacier change, how ecosystems adapt to these changes and how coastal communities are mitigating and planning for resilience to change now, and into the future.

[Luba Reshitnyk 🇺🇦 @LubaReshitnyk]

Always so rewarding to see our @HakaiInstitute habitat mapping time series data incorporated in research that will help inform monitoring and conservation of important coastal ecosystems like #seagrass!

Huge shout out to @StuMunsch for leading this work!

[Johanna Wagstaffe @JWagstaffe]

What does the snow know about climate change? Turns out... quite a lot.

Episode 4 of #PlanetWonder is out!

Thanks to research hydrologist Bill Floyd @VIUniversity for being our amazing guide (and teaching me how to ski)

@JennWalkus @IMPAC5Canada Still clear? I am but also curious. I know of 1 covid and 1 sick. 25% from your poll!

And finally! Bring on the kelp (monitoring, by MaPP) w Danielle Denley Province of BC) and Genevieve (CCIRA)

[Margot Hessing-Lewis @HessingLewis]

And now. Thinking big ecosystem picture Emily Rubidge @DFO_Pacific on plans for collaborative MPA monitoring on out coast

[Margot Hessing-Lewis @HessingLewis]

Sarah Dudas @DFO_Pacific talks RCA (rockfish conservation areas) on the BC coast

[Margot Hessing-Lewis @HessingLewis]

‘Speaking’!

[Margot Hessing-Lewis @HessingLewis]

@JennWalkus and Jennifer Carpenter are live. Speak about the Central Coast Indigenous-led marine planning process.
