Seagrass nurseries, as essential as terrestrial nurseries. Our workshop @ISBW14 introduced the Global Seagrass Nursery Network and handbook. Thanks to all participants and supporters!@CQUniCMERC @DrCraigSherman @LauraLGovers @ProjectSeagrass @earthelise @GBRFoundation #GSNN

[Lucy Coals @lucy_coals]

We did a thing today at #isbw14 I presented the first of my PhD experiments on #restoration lessons & @BoardshortsBen spoke about the power of citizen science for #seagrass conservation

I am haunted by this illustration of a Bandtail Pufferfish (Sphoeroides spengleri) in Bernard Germain de Lacépède's Histoire Naturelle des Poissons. The lower jaw teeth are correctly drawn, but the upper jaw teeth look like a set of dentures.🤦‍♂���

Seagrass improves water quality by absorbing nutrients and trapping fine sediments and particles with their leaves. As if that wasn't enough, 10-15% of the carbon absorbed by the ocean is done so by #seagrass meadows. 🤯 Sponsored by Clean Gulf Associates. #WhattheGulfGives

February was a wet and windy one for us at the nursery but fortunately our polytunnel stood strong during the storms 💪🍃

I have new #Zostera babies!! They are so much easier to sprout than #Heterozostera! #teamseagrass is making global progress in aquaculture ❤🌱 Stay tuned!

[Solent Oyster Restoration Project @solentnative]

On top of all the amazing work the @seawilding team are doing to restore their patch, they have just supplied us with 20,000 oysters to go onto the reef in Langstone Harbour 🦪 Restoration supporting restoration 🙌 They will go in after biosecurity checks at @UoPMarineBiol
