💪 Today @chemello_silvia presented the results of the project "EcoReforest" at the CIIMAR annual event. The project aimed to test eco-friendly reforestation methods to reduce the impact of marine restoration on the environment. Thank you to everyone involved in the project ! 💚

#Marineforests transport 56 million tons of carbon annually to the deep sea.

Isabel Sousa Pinto (@CiimarUp) and Jorge Assis (@CienciasDoMar) underscore the importance of these forests in fighting the #climatecrisis.

💚 Another trial, another species! First germlings of the brown algae Ascophyllum nodosum are starting to show up! 😎 We hope they will keep growing strong until the next deployment 🌊

🎉 First baby Fucus on our discs!
Finally, after many months of waiting, we were able to see the first recruits 🤩
Let's hope these little guys grow up healthy and strong 💪

We started our experiments with Fucus serratus! Here in Portugal, this species is only found in the north, which is also its southern distribution limit.
We hope that these little guys will grow healthy and help us recover our depleted #marineforests

Great time in Reykjavik for the @EMBSsymposium . Also had the privilege to present a part of my PhD work on kelp forests @Marine_Forests and how these can be affected by MPAs and herbivory. Work that has been developed in @CiimarUp @blueforesting and @MARE_centre

[Marine Forests @Marine_Forests]

🎉Almost ready for the first deployment!! Our little babies of Laminaria hyperborea will be used to test different reforestation methods for Portuguese marine forests through the @blueforesting project 🌊

#marinerestoration #marineforests #blueforests #oceanconservation

[Marine Forests @Marine_Forests]

We did it! 🥳
Our first cultivation of Laminaria hyperborea (commonly known as cuvie) was done for the @blueforesting project!
Swipe to see how pretty they are! 😍
