#Seagrass has essential benefits for #biodiversity, #carbon sequestration and #CoastalProtection. Experts from 6 research institutes are seeking meaningful answers to the most important questions in #SeagrassRestoration in the #BalticSea. #Seegraswiesen #SeaStoreBaltic @BMBF_Bund

Unlike many assume #seagrass is not algae but a true plant related to land-based flora. For more nice facts check out seegraswiesen.de #SeaStoreBaltic @KueNO_de @BMBF_Bund Kiel Institute (IfW Kiel) GEOMAR Ludwig-Franzius-Institute, Hannover Leibniz Uni Hannover TU Braunschweig Uni Greifswald

#Seagrass meadows grow both vertically amd horizontally. As a clearly visible result, new grass sprouts begin to grow outside the actual #SeagrassMeadow! #SeaStoreBaltic #restoration #Seegraswiesen #generationrestoration @KueNO_de @BMBF_Bund

So lovely to be invited to give a talk at the Technische Universität Braunschweig science colloquium and to meet the team SeaStore - Diversity Enhancement Through Seagrass. We have a lot of overlap with SMMR ReSOW project and Project Seagrass restoration work. Loved the kaffee and kuchen afterwards.

🌱Seagrass beds support thousands of marine species, store carbon, improve water quality, protect coastlines, cycle nutrients and create habitat corridors between coral reefs and mangroves. Discover more through this infographic by WCS & Vibrant Oceans Initiative 🔽

Nice visits by Florian Guthknecht and his team from ARTE to film at the labs in Hannover and Kiel and in the water. The whole #SeaStorebaltic team is excited for the broadcast in 2024. #restoration #Seegraswiesen #generationrestoration @KueNO_de Ludwig-Franzius-Institute, Hannover GEOMAR_en

Besuch beim #SeaStore Projekt des GEOMAR am letzten Tag der #NABU Segelreise für #Meeresschutzgebiete, die schützen. Wiederherstellung von Seegraswiesen für Klima- UND Biodiversitätsschutz muss jetzt in die Fläche kommen. Schutz allein reicht nicht mehr! #RestoreNature

Team #GEOMAR erntet Seegras-Samen (#Zostera marina) in der Kieler Förde. Dieses Saatgut ist der Schlüssel zur Entwicklung einer samenbasierten Renaturierung von Seegraswiesen in der nächsten Phase von SeaStore - Diversity Enhancement Through Seagrass @MarineEvolEcol Angela Stevenson Tadhg O Corcora Jana Willim

Great work! We got a great harvest over two very enjoyable days! GEOMAR_en @KueNO_de #SeaStorebaltic #restoration #Seegraswiesen #generationrestoration

zeitung.faz.net/faz/politik/20… Good article describing why it is important to learn how seagrass restoration projects could be implemented and what they could contribute in maintaining ocean health (in German). Including statements of @MarineEvolEcol. Julian Staib #SeaStoreBaltic

In Baltic Sea, citizen divers restore seagrass to fight climate change. Really nice article with nice pictures about our work together with Sea Shepherd Germany. reuters.com/investigates/s… via Reuters Investigates #SeaStoreBaltic #restoration #Seegraswiesen #generationrestoration

Thanks for the support! Also again to Sea Shepherd Germany and Tadhg O Corcora and Angela Stevenson! #SeaStoreBaltic #restoration #Seegraswiesen #generationrestoration

Aufforsten unter Wasser zeit.de/wissen/2023-08… via DIE ZEIT Another great article about our project by Clara Vuillemin (in German)! Also again with nice pictures by Lisi Niesner @KueNO_de #SeaStoreBaltic #restoration #Seegraswiesen #generationrestoration

Citizen divers in the Baltic Sea are driving #seagrass restoration efforts in order to combat the #ClimateCrisis. SeaStore - Diversity Enhancement Through Seagrass is one of the first restoration projects that aims to allow citizens to carry out restoration work autonomously. Read more 👉 loom.ly/Lkr5X5I

.@NDRsh über #SeaStoreBaltic: "Wenn Thorsten Reusch (@MarineEvolEcol) nach seinen Zöglingen schaut, geht es nass zu. Seit drei Jahren forscht der Meeresbiologe daran, wie in D Seegras angepflanzt werden könnte, um damit CO2 aus der Atmosphäre zu bekommen." ndr.de/nachrichten/in…

"#Seegras ist ein Multitalent: Arten-Hotspot, Küstenschützer, CO2-Speicher. Doch die Biotope stehen unter Druck [...]. In der #Ostsee arbeiten Forschende an einer Wiederbegrünung – per Hand. Jetzt holen sie dafür die Bevölkerung ins Wasser." tageins.at/seegras-pflanz… tag eins
