🍎Thinking about reducing your food waste? In the latest #ReGenOurCoasts blog, we explore cutting-edge ways to turn industry-generated biomass waste into biodegradable habitats that support #ecologicalrestoration. Read here 📣 bluecarbonlab.org/novelbiopolyme…

🌊🏠 Attention Australian coastal landholders - have you participated in our nation-wide landholder survey on #coastalwetland restoration? If you haven’t had the chance yet, our survey is still open! 🔗Survey: deakin.edu.au/bluecarbonlab-…

♻️ Biodegradable structures for restoration come in many shapes & sizes. Our #RegenOurCoasts team is adding to restoration trials by exploring #bamboo devices for mangrove restoration 🌱 After deploying 336 devices, we're excited to see their impact this mangrove seeding season!

Just landed from the International Marine Conservation Congress (#IMCC7) in South Africa, Phebe Fidge offers some reflections on the conference theme, outlining key lessons on how to “Make Marine Science Matter” 🔗 bluecarbonlab.org/making-marine-… #IMCC7 #marinescience

Last Friday, the #ReGenOurCoasts team joined forces with Western Port Biosphere Foundation for a mangrove planting #CitizenScience day on French Island! Our participants planted 240 mangroves and sparked inspiring conversations on how to restore & protect #coastalwetlands🌱

🌱 If at first you don’t succ-seed, try again! Our #ReGenOurCoasts team is trialling alternate methods for #seagrassrestoration after direct seeding challenges. By securing 160+ healthy seagrass fragments to biodegradable BESE structures, we hope their roots will grow & thrive 🌊

Did you know that tidal marsh restoration can recover the properties & functions of a healthy marsh in as little as 5 years? With #WorldWetlandsDay fast approaching, find out more in this latest Global Water Forum article: 🔗globalwaterforum.org/2025/01/30/fro… #wetlands #bluecarbon #saltmarsh

Scaling up for more resilient coastal restoration 💪 After some interesting field observations, our #RegenOurCoasts team is piloting larger plots, more biodegradable layers and denser plantings for more robust, weather-resilient revegetation efforts! 🌱
