SDSU MEBSA

Bringing together researchers at the Coastal and Marine Institute Laboratory @SDSU and stimulating our community to be stewards of our marine environment.

Mark your calendars. After a long hiatus, 🌊Marine Science Day🌊 is back! We can't wait to welcome you to our marine lab for this FREE community event! Science, marine animals, food trucks, stoked scientists and more. Check out our website for more info https://t.co/dBuMTJlM7H

Great presentation by Darrin Ambat #WSN2020 on how boat mooring chains at Catalina Island reduce coralline algal rhodolith cover, alter community composition, and change productivity @SDSU @SDSU_CMIL

[SDSU Research @SDSUResearch]

The power of community-based science in action! A team of scientists and countless volunteers from 14 different organizations, including @SDSU and @SDSU_CMIL, joined forces to document the northward migration of kelp forests on the West Coast due to warming waters.

[MexCal @mexcalscience]

What can be learned from 20 years of data spanning 469 sites along the entire West Coast of North America? Scientists from 14 organizations across countries joined forces to document the impact of recent climatic events #kelpforests #Alaska2Baja #abcreef https://t.co/8am1Ykaspz

Please join me for my PhD exit seminar Sept. 4th at 11am (PT) via zoom. DM for a link. I'll be talking about how kelp + other algae impact kelp forest consumers, how seabirds are linked to kelp forest producers/consumers, and how urchin barrens may change growth/defense of algae.

[California Sea Grant @CASeaGrant]

This #FellowFriday, meet Abigail Ryder!
Abigail is working with @CalEnergy on an offshore wind energy project, assisting with public outreach to tribes & local fishermen, public feedback for the EIPA online tool, & reviewing documents on environmental impacts.

New paper: #Eelgrass structural complexity mediates #mesograzer #herbivory on epiphytic #algae. Provides evidence that SG #structuralComplexity can shift communities from #bottomup to #topdown systems. @SDSU_CMIL https://t.co/8a9nykJ119

[Genoa Sullaway @genoa_sully]

Excited to share this paper- coming out tomorrow @MEPS_IR! We found that presence of the non native algae, Sargassum horneri contributed to ephemeral increases in gross community production and respiration, but did not impact net community production @kelptalk @SDSU_CMIL

Congratulations are in order for Anderson lab MS student @LiebergesellMax! He was awarded an @aaus research grant for his proposal titled “Investigating predation on purple urchins (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) within kelp forests & urchin barrens”. Great job Max! @SDSUResearch

[SDSU MEBSA @SDSU_MEBSA]

Clubs that beach clean up together, stay together. We had a great time picking up trash at Fiesta Island with I Love a Clean San Diego’s #coastalcleanup initiative. Great job MEBSA! @LiebergesellMax @leeharrisonnn @sharkgirlsara

We’ll be tweeting our first meeting IGNITE talks. In each, a rep from all of our marine ecology labs gives a 5 min look into what they and their lab mates do. Join us! #MEBSA @SDSUResearch

[SDSU MEBSA @SDSU_MEBSA]

The Anderson Fish Ecology is presented by Lee, who’s laying down all the cool work the she, Sam, Max, and Sara are up to in the southern California kelp forests!

[SDSU MEBSA @SDSU_MEBSA]

Aaaaannddd that’s a wrap! More to come :) Get involved!! @SDSUResearch
