With restoration efforts, genomics can fill in gaps in understanding kelp biodiversity and resilience. As Dr. Jasmin Schuster puts it, “Restoration isn’t just about replacing what’s lost. We need to rebuild kelp forests that can thrive in tomorrow’s oceans.”

[GenomeBC @GenomeBC]

Kelp forests are vital to ocean health but are declining due to climate change and other pressures.

Genomics is helping researchers restore BC kelp by identifying what to plant and where so these ecosystems can recover and thrive.

We're glad to see agreements such as the one below, following the memorandum of understanding we signed late November with @ANID_Chile.

This collaboration between Canadian and Chilean university consortiums strives to understand and protect the ocean. ⤵️

[Bamfield MSC @BamfieldMSC]

Canada + Chile = a new era of Pacific Rim #ocean #science! The PMSA and Océanos Institute signed an agreement to expand joint research + training across the Pacific, Arctic, and Antarctic. The partnership is supported by PRISMS a PMSA–MEOPAR collab.
