Coastal habitats like salt marshes play an important role in protecting wildlife and fighting climate change.

Their tall grasses and abundance of full make them a perfect nursery.

Just published in @EcographyJourna! We used reef cores to explore environmental and ecological changes over millennia on two Caribbean reefs in #BocasdelToro, Panama. @odealab @noellelucey 👇 (1/12) https://t.co/yDyQo4cHFn

I’m excited to share our new paper, out now in @PNASNews. We used #fossil #shark scales (denticles) preserved in coral reef sediments to reconstruct the pre-exploitation baseline of a reef shark community in Caribbean Panama. https://t.co/Sbl0sOm0J2 @odealab @mccauley_lab (1/18)

[Prof. Michael Sweet @DiseaseMatters]

Dear Twitterverse, my good self and @reefgenomics have some funds to put towards a workshop aimed at developing ‘a universal coral health index’. Hopefully running in 2022 & more info to follow, but if you are possibly interested in joining discussions please comment below!

Hi All! meet the panelist of our Marine Policy Panel on Mondays March 15th @ 7pm EST, including the amazing Dr. @AnaKSpalding, Dr. Krista Sherman, Alfre Wimberly, & Rosie Shatkin. It's gonna be a really great discussion. Stay tuned for more deets coming up soon... #BWEEMS

How can you more effectively communicate science and make it relatable?

Dr. @NSilbiger is working with artists and community members on #FuturePacific, a project to help people connect with and learn about changes in #coralreefs through art.

#scicomm #sciart #outreach

[Dr. Nyssa Silbiger @NSilbiger]

People can’t protect or care about things that they don’t understand. By merging art & science we give people the power to connect to our research on a personal level. Watch and share our 4min doc on #FuturePacific here. #coralreefs #SciArt #scicomm
