During my PhD we uncovered incredible underwater forests of corals living within the mangrove islands of Panama. Read about how mangroves provide coral refugia with greater coral richness in the mangrove forest than on the adjacent reef. #mangroves #coral

Dear Community of Mangrove and Macrobenthos Researchers. On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the MMM6, I want to announce that we are working to hold the conference in the last week of July 2023 in Cartagena de Indias. We hope to make the official launch very soon.

@danfriess What is the target age range? Will the book be published in multiple languages? I'm biased towards sponges and tunicates. The mangrove hummingbird (Amazilia boucardi) is an important species in Central America and you can include the stunning flowers of Pelliciera rhizophorae.

Vegetation map created by @UMiamiMPS student Paityn Bower of northern track of Biscayne National Park. Mangroves, scrub, and hammock forests are represented using half-double crochet. Happy #WorldMangroveDay #ArtInScience

[Heather A. Stewart, Ph.D. @StressedScience]

@rafaeljaraujo @UMiamiMPS Stunning and extremely creative 🥰

Mangroves are going mainstream! Cover of AWWA's official journal featuring a stylized network of pipes in the shape of a red mangrove and a symbol of a sustainable future. @AWWA #Mangroves #MangrovesAsFishHabitat

So excited and delighted to learn from Carlin Jantzen at @ICRS_2022 #ICRS2022 about a #coral 🪸 reef ecology #comic already free to read in 8 languages!!

Even more reason to conserve & restore #mangroves! By coexisting closely with mangroves, #coral species may have found an alternative habitat where they can thrive in the face of #climate change

What are coexisting mangrove-coral habitats?🐙🌊🌱

The new study reviews the scientific literature to formalize a baseline understanding of these ecosystems and create a foundation for future studies

Thank you Leila and Jorge for snorkeling in the mangroves with us to see these phenomenal ecosystems first hand and then writing this beautiful piece. This work was conducted @BocasStation and would not have been possible without community support #WomenInScience #mangrove #coral

Co-existing mangrove-coral habitats have a new global classification system @STRI_panama https://t.co/Hk2Bk6dqM5

[Heather A. Stewart, Ph.D. @StressedScience]

@kaianan_maue @cienciatropical @stri_panama Yes, it is amazing to see corals and mangroves living intertwined. The different CMC types help define the degree by which they overlap. There is still so much more for us to learn about these incredible ecosystems! @rafaeljaraujo

[Heather A. Stewart, Ph.D. @StressedScience]

@StephenChuaEOS Yes, thank you @StephenChuaEOS! There is a reader comment section on the PLoS One platform https://t.co/4C3cOL2sLB. We would love to hear from as many people as possible regarding where else observations have been made and which CMC types.

Co-existing mangrove-coral habitats, like the one seen in this video, have a new global classification system https://t.co/kKFtDdydoX 🎥Heather A. Stewart

[Heather A. Stewart, Ph.D. @StressedScience]

Have you ever seen corals growing in forests? Our new #PLOSONE paper: Novel coexisting mangrove-coral habitats.. describes the requirements for this to occur and models the potential global distribution of this habitat https://t.co/bepuYvs2qt @stri_panama @rafaeljaraujo @dkline0

@SJohnsonBice You're killing it! So proud of you Sean. Congratulations on all your achievements.
