SB Kelp Watch

Kelp is on the menu for beach hoppers and other tiny critters that live on our beaches! Help find tagged kelp plants that wash onto our Santa Barbara beaches.

Multiple ecosystems in hot water after marine heatwave surges across the Pacific – our new #OpenAccess paper published today in @GlobalChangeBio shows that even ecological communities protected from fishing are vulnerable to sweltering seas, a 🧵 (1/6).

Press release on our recent SoCal surf zone fish study @ucsantabarbara @BOEM @UCLAIoES

[UCLA Inst. of the Environment & Sustainability @UCLAIoES]

What’s living beneath the waves? It’s a question many Southern California swimmers and surfers ponder when they visit the beach. 🏊‍♀️🏄‍♀️🏖️

A UCLA-led study utilized eDNA to identify 80 species of fish and rays living within southern California surf zones.

ICYMI: The #CERF2023 call for abstracts is open-deadline is May 10!!! The theme is Recovery & Resilience and there are ~80 sessions to choose from! You can submit a 2nd abstract on education, DEI, or coastal heritage/coastal humanities for free! #coastalscience #estuarinescience

[Kyle Emery @K_Emery_2012]

1/4 Our new paper out today describes a simple and straightforward experiment to determine the uptake mechanism of oil pollution on beaches by beach hoppers. Is it through their food (kelp wrack) or habitat (the sand)? @USLTER @LterSbc @ucsantabarbara
