@c_bonsell It sure is. Time for a bunch of new (and old) research to come together in this!

#kelp has become a bit of a symbol for ocean CDR. Looking forward to the increased research into the role it can play

The first of our papers showing big impacts from #EelGrassWasting Disease in the PNW, US. High levels of disease and declining density in 2015 preceded big losses by 2021. The top 20-30 feet of some meadows are now gone…Kudos @Cornell undergrad interns https://t.co/HgeuS4ctWB

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!

COP26 ends today and if you’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed here’s 30 seconds of a calming seagrass meadow to breathe in and out to 🧘����

Restoring seagrass requires a combination of approaches and it's often difficult to know where to start. The Seagrass Restoration Handbook has recently been released to provide guidance on the restoration of seagrass in the UK and Ireland 🌊🌱👇

Halting the destruction of coastal wetlands could avoid emissions of 304 million tonnes of CO2e pa, while restoration could sequester an additional 841 million tonnes CO2e pa

The climate emergency is intertwined with the destruction of our ecosystems. Yet, it is the protection and revival of our ecosystems that can combat the climate emergency.

Leaders at #COP26 must recognise the importance of #NatureBasedSolutions in mitigating climate change🌏🌱

Symbiosis between marine bacteria and seagrass enables highly productive seagrass meadows to thrive in the nitrogen-limited environments.

Big new seagrass and oyster reed restoration project in Scotland!

[Project Seagrass @ProjectSeagrass]

We are delighted to be partners in a new restoration project in Scotland: 'Restoration Forth' 🌱🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The £2.4m project, lead by @WWFScotland, will restore oyster reefs and seagrass beds in the Firth of Forth to improve biodiversity and tackle climate change

🏞️It's #MapMonday! #DidYouKnow there are more than 250,000 terrestrial 🏝️ & #MarineProtectedAreas in #NorthAmerica, covering more than 15 million sq/km?! 🌊🐬

@CECweb just published an updated #GIS map layer of these protected areas

Seascape connectivity between seagrass and mangroves can have positive influence on blue carbon storage in seagrass ecosystems, which needs further investigation to assess the underlying biogeochemical processes involved in blue carbon storage.5/5. @CWTC21, @bluecarbon,
