#Seagrass ecosystems are facing widespread decline Turbidity from coastal development is one of the biggest threats to seagrass We need to develop monitoring methods that detects chronic stress so we act before meadows are lost #CWTC21 1/5

We suggest for more research on metabolomics as a potential bioindicator for early impact assessment of seagrass meadows See full paper here – doi.org/10.1016/j.ecol… #CWTC21 5/5

Coastal wetlands don’t get enough attention in the international policy arena – think #SGDs #CBD – but why? We looked at the inclusion of wetlands in global #ecosystem assessment frameworks and highlight gaps in data that hinder uptake #CWTC21 1/5

Loss of seagrass globally is the result of a series of multifaceted pressures - great new study led by the team Global Wetlands Project pnas.org/content/118/45…

🚨New paper led by Mischa P Turschwell models trajectories of #seagrass change at a global scale & shows how they relate to multiple anthropogenic pressures. Seagrass conservation requires identifying main pressures of loss & regions most at risk of ongoing loss. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

Our results highlight where #seagrass loss may be occurring unnoticed & where urgent #conservation interventions are required to reverse loss & sustain the essential services that seagrass meadows provide. 5/5 Thanks to brilliant co-authors! Read more 🔽 doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

A model of the trajectory of seagrass meadows in response to anthropogenic pressures at 395 sites around the world suggests that water quality, destructive trawl and dredge fishing had the strongest associations with rapid seagrass meadow decline. In PNAS: ow.ly/SSAj50GCNyi

To conserve #seagrass we need to know the areas around the world 🌏 that need our help. Using only 10% of the world’s known monitored seagrass, Mischa P Turschwell predicts areas most at risk - providing a resource to guide funding & monitoring efforts. ➡️doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

You’re invited to join our free webinar about #seagrass at risk. We will explore how historical declines predict global hotspots of future risks.  🌱Webinar: Seagrass at risk 📅 22 / 23 Feb Register to attend or receive a recording of the webinar: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Nations need to work together to recover vital #seagrass & #mangroves ecosystems 🌎🌱 In a new paper led by @ChristinABuelow learn how ambitious global targets can inspire coordinated action to protect & restore these ecosystems. Read the paper at: authors.elsevier.com/a/1edpZ3QW8R%7…

Great new paper out, on setting ambitious targets for the global recovery of #mangroves and #seagrass. Led by the amazing @ChristinABuelow, published in Current Biology

I like to think this only happens because you’ve either outsmarted the machine or tried to process advancements that the cabal don’t allow. #academictwitter
