Great opportunity to help save Irish seagrasses...so vital in fight against climate change and in stopping biodiversity loss... @coastwatch_ire looking for volunteer citizen scientists #WorldEnvironmentDay @GraceOSllvn https://t.co/zzeq9rpPOS via @IrishTimes

On #WorldOceansDay take a minute to think about our oceans...

🌊Oceans act as the largest carbon sink in the 🌎
🌊Oceans host 80% of life on the 🌍
🌊Oceans provide half of the 🌏's oxygen

How we can all act to save our oceans 👇

[The MACROMAN Project @MACROMANProject]

On this #WorldOceansDay if you go to the shore, why not have a look to see if you can find #seagrass and report back to #Coastwatch if you find any.

[Coastwatch @coastwatch_ire]

Our seagrass campaign starts tomorrow on #WorldEnvironmentalDay Sat June 5th 2021. It is built as a citizen science and action campaign so anyone who will be out on the shore over the weekend can look out for it and report on any sightings. More details https://t.co/u9FUhSJv4U

Happy #WorldOceansDay !

Still on the subject of #herbariums, please watch the 2nd episode of @10Things_ToKnow (this time about #biodiversity) where @Colin_Kelleher talks about the @DBNherbarium. No mention of #algae or #seagrass but they have an impressive collection of both.

[The MACROMAN Project @MACROMANProject]

There are some impressive specimens in @DBNherbarium too. Some even dating as far back as the 1830s
