Beyond excited to share this #seagrass disease paper after 6+ yrs in the making!! 🌊🌱 Some of our takeaways (a 🧵): (1/n)

An article about a recent paper that I published with Schery Umanzor (UAF CFOS). We found distinct differences between sugar and ribbon kelps when thinking about the total carbon that might be directly removed from the system due to harvest. anthropocenemagazine.org/2023/02/an-ove…

Sarah Dudas DFO Pacific talks RCA (rockfish conservation areas) on the BC coast

And now. Thinking big ecosystem picture Emily Rubidge DFO Pacific on plans for collaborative MPA monitoring on out coast

And finally! Bring on the kelp (monitoring, by MaPP) w Danielle Denley Province of BC) and Genevieve (CCIRA)

Good news for the #DeepseaOasis with the Tang.ɢwan — ḥačxʷiqak — Tsig̱is Marine Protected Area from @CHN_HaidaNation, Nuu-chah-nulth Triabal Council, Pacheedaaht First Nation Quatsino First Nation and Fisheries and Oceans. cpawsbc.org/cpaws-bc-celeb…

What does the snow know about climate change? Turns out... quite a lot. Episode 4 of #PlanetWonder is out! Thanks to research hydrologist Bill Floyd VIU for being our amazing guide (and teaching me how to ski) gem.cbc.ca/media/planet-w…

📅Join us online: Mar 1, 12pm PST A conversation on how we can predict the rate of glacier change, how ecosystems adapt to these changes and how coastal communities are mitigating and planning for resilience to change now, and into the future. icefields_to_oceans.eventbrite.ca

Always so rewarding to see our Hakai Institute habitat mapping time series data incorporated in research that will help inform monitoring and conservation of important coastal ecosystems like #seagrass! Huge shout out to Stuart Munsch for leading this work!

#WorldSeagrassDay 🌱 I enjoy every opportunity I get to work in these beautiful ecosystems! And enjoy seeing all the work being done in meadows around the world 🌎 #zosteramarina #eelgrass

Join ocean scientist Vienna Saccomanno on a mission to map kelp strongholds in California with the help of Hakai's Luba Reshitnyk 🇺🇦, a drone, and the Kelp-O-Matic youtube.com/watch?v=bq7Ffp… Video made in collaboration with our friends The Nature Conservancy in California

Thursday #herring highlights with Planet satellite imagery captured across #BC yesterday. North of Prince Rupert, West Coast Vancouver Island and around Cumshewa Inlet in Haida Gwaii just glowing yesterday.

New recognition of the major contribution of healthy kelp forests to the global economy and as part of any climate solution. (Not to mention, they're gorgeous!) nature.com/articles/d4158… Nature Communications UNSW @EgerAaron Kelp Forest Alliance Gemma Conroy #EarthDay2023 #OceanClimateAction
