So fun getting up to speak about our trials of different #seagrass #restoration methods at #AMSA2023 today with fellow EcoGenetics crew!
Grateful to have been able to present alongside some incredible talks at this year's seagrass symposium

[Project Seagrass @ProjectSeagrass]

It’s been an exciting week for some of the team attending #ISBW14 🇺🇸🌱

There has been so much knowledge exchanged and new connections made to help better seagrass conservation across the world and we’ve loved learning so much from new exciting seagrass research 🌍 #TeamSeagrass

[Lucy Coals @lucy_coals]

Finished the @ISBW14 week in the BEST way with a visit to the @VIMS_News labs and a swim in the #Chesapeake Bay #seagrass restoration site. Thank you @nature_org and VIMS team for sharing your stories, knowledge and experience

[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

This week our teams are out inspecting seagrass planting trials at 10 sites across the UK. We're working with @wwf_uk @SkyZeroOfficial and @CarlsbergUK to understand where exactly the window for restoration exists.

Happy to share the 3rd paper from my PhD.

In it, we show that household dependence on seagrass meadows for food security and livelihoods is governed by household income and adaptive capacity. 🧵⬇️ 1/8

Project Seagrass was born out of seagrass research conducted in the Indo-Pacific, and we continue to work in the region to help support others with seagrass research and conservation 🌊🌱.

Exciting news as Scotlands first restored seagrass, planted by community-led project @Seawilding, has successfully germinated🌱🎉🥳

Cannot contain my excitement for my #PhD #fieldwork to be underway as we work to optimise and upscale #seagrass #restoration @Deakin @ProjectSeagrass @swanscience

Today i'll be appearing at a @WGClimateChange hearing on #Bluecarbon and marine management in the Senedd (Welsh Parliament). I'll be highlighting how seagrass continues to be threatened by poor water quality causing suffication from algae. Here's an example from North Wales

Since #BlackFriday is stupid, did you know that there’s actually a seagrass species that’s black?

Zostera nigricaulis is a species of eelgrass native to the Southern Ocean that has a distinctive black stem - it’s the only seagrass species to do so!

Team work making the seagrass dream work 💥

The Project Seagrass team all in the same room 🙌🏼

Over a year of zoom calls and with some of us living in completely different countries has meant that the team haven’t all been together in more than 3 years. And look at how we’ve expanded since then!

[Pip Cohen @PipCohen]

Millions of women process & trade #fish across Africa

14 of these women exchanged stories of COVID-19 restrictions & shared their ideas to build forward inclusively & equitably

They are @OnOurRadar with @awfishnet & @FISH_CGIAR on #WorldFisheriesDay

Sweet paper on how the presence of furry otter ally's can affect the genetic #diversity of #eelgrass. Interesting predator - producer interactions.
