Round two! My second #greengravel trial is underway at the Bamfield MSC. This time I’m focusing on Macrocystis, a key habitat forming species. Thanks Thomas Wernberg and Karen Filbee-Dexter for the inspiration. #kelp #restoration

The future of #kelp forest restoration is looking bright! #greengravel #restoration

In case you’re looking to satisfy those #algae cravings on this fine evening.

Really looking forward to this!

Exciting #WSN2020 presentation on #kelp forest #restoration by @EgerAaron today! The success of future kelp restoration projects will rely on collaboration, and both strong financial and institutional support. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

A great piece on restoring the American people’s trust in science. Let us all strive to improve science literacy in our communities and support the next generation scientists!

For those seeking to understand how exactly kelp is farmed, this nicely written piece summarizes the process!

My mouth is watering 😋💦

Using Bamfield MSC’s ROV to survey one of CascadiaSeaweed’s kelp farms in Barkley Sound today! This work is part of a bigger mission, led by Oceans 2050, to quantify kelp farming’s potential to sequester carbon. #Kelp #BlueCarbon #ClimateAction @duarteoceans

Economics of biodiversity review: what are the recommendations? theguardian.com/environment/20…

Want to hear about the importance of the environment in shaping patterns of #kelp #macroevolution and responses to #climatechange? I am giving an online seminar today 3:30-4:30 PM PST OSU Hatfield events.oregonstate.edu/event/hmsc_res…

Took a break from sampling mud cores to check out the crop! CascadiaSeaweed’s #kelp farm in Barkley Sound is looking promising! Major props to Dr Jennifer Clark for her success in cultivating these beauties.

“To realize the full potential of seaweed, we will need not just more science, but policies to incentivize the restoration of seaweed forests, many of which have been decimated, to the great detriment of fisheries, biodiversity, marine tourism and other goods and services...”

Hope this seaweed-will-save-the-planet meme dies soon and expectations can be toned down. Note to headline writers: Planet is doing fine. It's humans that need saving.

Ep 19 - Intro to Kelp with Tom Campbell is out now! Tom is the president & founder of West Coast Kelp, a startup driven to enable large scale kelp restoration. We chat about kelp from the basics all the way up to lifecycles. Listen now! (Linktr.ee/Belowthetide) 🎧

West Coast Kelp is on a mission to support kelp forest restoration groups by providing their projects with a reliable supply of high quality kelp seed. Check out these pictures from our latest batch of #greengravel!

Brown #algae lab today. Macrocystis is trying real hard, but still think this meme says it all. #phycologyfriday

"...stakeholders must decide and clarify what they want kelp farms to achieve and produce in order to avoid overpromising and ensure that commercial and conservation objectives are not undermined." A great read for those interested in supporting sustainable kelp aquaculture.

Congrats Claire!!
