What is a marine heatwave, and how do they threaten marine ecosystems and coastal communities? To limit their impacts, it’s vital to reduce fossil-fuel-based emissions to address the #ClimateCrisis. Learn more in our Issues Brief bit.ly/2Z3eO9a

Several regions continue to experience persistent MHW activity. Most notably: (i) The Caribbean, where absolute temps are ~31deg C and (ii) off Japan, which has been in a near-permanent MHW state for ~2 years. #marineheatwaves #MHWs #climatechange

On the cover of our #LatestIssue: A dense kelp forest dominated by Laminaria hyperborea at around 15 m depth in Orkney, Scotland. 📖 See @dansmale1 & King: doi.org/10.1111/nph.20…

Check out our Editorial for a new virtual issue in New Phytologist in which we pull together recent papers on "Marine macrophytes in a changing world: mechanisms underpinning responses and resilience to environmental stress" #seaweed #kelp #marinebiology nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

Interesting time of year for UK kelp forests as kelp have stopped growing and are getting 'fouled' by lots of epibionts, the red algae on reef and kelp has largely senesced, & much detritus has washed out or degraded leaving a spooky 'clean' vibe before winter storms.

Detailed demographic studies of marine foundation species are needed, esp at species range edges, to understand responses to warming and other changes. In our new ms we quantified popn structure of Laminaria ochroleuca at leading range edge in SW UK. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

There's been some healthy debate about which baseline to use when quantifying marine heatwaves (and other extreme climatic events). We summarize the pros/cons, explain why it matters and provide some recommendations in our new ms: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Summertime marine heatwaves (MHWs) in 2023/2024 were unprecedented and had wide-ranging biological, physical and societal impacts. Need to develop better response plans and adaptation/intervention approaches as MHWs intensify under climate change: nature.com/articles/s4155…

So good to get the 2025 MBA Dive Season up and running! Despite recent torrential rain, viz was pretty decent and conditions were fair in Plymouth Sound. Training day and first surveys in the bag, great team effort 🌊🌱😎🤿🐟
