Wow! @SandiDoughton and the team from @seattletimes did an amazing job featuring the kelp expedition and kelp research and restoration in our beautiful inland sea.
Algae is touted as an all-purpose tool to fight global warming by sucking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and oceans. And, if you believe the hype, the dietary prospects are unlimited, from animal feed to the next superfood for humans. https://t.co/pX9cn36DGg
Washington state is home to 22 species of kelp; there are more kelp species here than anywhere in the world except Japan. Unfortunately, kelp beds have been disappearing for the last 40 years, but now there's a plan to help save kelp in Puget Sound. https://t.co/6e0YGvLxFn
Coastal #bluecarbon habitats, including salt marshes, mangrove forests, and seagrass meadows, are among the most productive—and threatened—wetland ecosystems on the planet.
Now, governments have a chance to help protect these climate allies. https://t.co/y5qh9yS7e4
A strong start to Monday at #SHELLFISH75! Great panel with Blair Paul, @MinoritiesinAquaculture, acdemery, @Acqua_culture, followed by pinto abalone and Olympia oyster research/restoration talks by @ehbates and @NOAAFisheries
As a member of @AppropsDems, I'm proud to have helped successfully secure an increase in @NOAA's federal budget so critical facilities like the Northwest Fisheries Science Center’s Manchester Research Station can continue their amazing work and help save our salmon.
We know that guy! Great to see PSRF Hatchery Director Ryan Crim showing @RepDerekKilmer our pinto abalone recovery efforts during his visit to @NOAAFish_NWFSC 's Manchester Research Station.
.@NOAAFish_NWFSC does incredible work in our region to support NOAA's efforts to conserve endangered salmon, develop sustainable aquaculture, advance marine fish & shellfish biology, and restore marine habitat. It was great to stop by and hear more about their critical research!
Great final day and culmination of the collaborative #kelpexpedition in Olympia - thank you to the @SquaxinIsland and @restorationfund for co-hosting a great event! The work to conserve and protect kelp takes many hands.
A celebratory day to end what has been a revelatory #kelpexpedition! A gathering hosted by @SquaxinIsland, with amazing food and drink from @chelseagems, @taylorshellfish, @salishseafoods, and @BatdorfCoffee with many inspiring words! Look for reflections after we resurface....
