@JennSeasSeaweed This looks like the endophyte Streblonema, to me!

@Martonelab @morgan_vis @HakaiInstitute I mean…some waters around Prince of Wales Island were as warm as areas in Puget Sound a few years ago (not this year, thankfully!). Wonder if it is winter temperature or summer temperature that drives distribution more.

@BeringFisherman I noticed large coho at the start of the season on POW and then they got smaller. I read about a time where runs from the prior were delayed into the next yr, resulting in a bumper yr…but then runs were wonky for a couple of yrs after. Hopefully not like that this year.

Mola mola in Southeast Alaska (Prince of Wales Island).

@BeringFisherman Agree, it’s impressive.

CODIUM! Also, holy cow, this "easy" side project reveals I'm a total Jon Snow when it comes to siphonous green seaweeds. Despite teaching #seaweed courses for years...

[Global Seaweed Coalition @Safe_Seaweed]

🚨The Global #Seaweed Coalition is looking for its new Scientific Officer! Hosted by our founding partners from @CNRS, the Scientific officer will manage GSC funded projects and be the main contact point with project holders.

Apply here before August 14: https://t.co/wxZVx6zMHE

This week @graceemelchers & I collected spores from likely the last Bull Kelp bed off Gabriola Island, right at the edge of where #SalishSea kelp forests are vanishing due to warming waters from #climatecrisis. Part of our #kelp conservation+restoration research for @kelprescue

Past climate-driven range shifts structuring genetics of the giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) at global scales - Tasmanian giant kelp more similar to Patagonia than New Zealand/ Chile 🤔 https://t.co/jo1rv2IV2p

[Dr. Tiff Stephens @ecophyte]

Ok, ok. This is going to take some time…there are barely any seaweed folks over on Bluesky. And no aquaculture people?

[Dr. Tiff Stephens @ecophyte]

Please come find me at Bluesky Social! My new handle is "drkelp" since it was actually available and not claimed by a Spongebob account. 😊

We're building a new science community over there.

[Dr. Tiff Stephens @ecophyte]

@AFredston What the what?

[Dr. Tiff Stephens @ecophyte]

I was quite honored to be included in this important conversation about black seaweed (Pyropia abbottiae), hosted by the Sealaska Heritage Institute. Indigenous communities in the Pacific Northwest are concerned for a critical resource: https://t.co/IJnBLwY8xk

[Dr. Tiff Stephens @ecophyte]

@rogue_bander the activity on bluesky is reminiscent of younger science twitter...just need to bet more people over there and 👩‍🍳💋

@TrevorABranch I want Bluesky but might have to settle for Threads until I can get in.

[Dr. Tiff Stephens @ecophyte]

@ClonalAntibody That's why I'm asking the ether for a code.

[Global Seaweed Coalition @Safe_Seaweed]

Seaweed and «Carbon» : everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask! Professor @CatrionaHurd will share the results of her extensive research on Seaweed and Carbon Dioxide Removal on July 25th, 12PM CET.

Team effort to bring in this 43.6 lb king salmon (but he caught it). Looks smaller in the pics! This is the largest I’ve seen; every time we opened the fish hold, I was 😳.

[Dr. Tiff Stephens @ecophyte]

Finally got a hold of these classics; happy #phycologyfriday to me! Now I need to put them somewhere safe. 🤔
