Great to have local community members from Westpac out in the estuary supporting our seagrass restoration project! 🌱🌱🌱 cawthron.org.nz/our-news/westp…

We need your help to get seagrass to the top of the NZ Favourite Native Plant of the Year leaderboard. As the only plant that has returned to the ocean, it's pretty special. We are currently at #9! 🌱🌱🌱 nzpcn.org.nz/flora/species/…

How lucky am I to get to collaborate with such a wonderful group?! I'm really excited to share this new paper on global EBM challenges, solutions, and progress! doi.org/10.1038/s44183…

#EcosystemBasedManagement is known as the “best practice” for managing multiple ocean uses but hurdles persist. Even so, Dr. Janne Haugen et al. @MarineCons Mark Dickey-Collas 🏳️‍🌈 report “substantial progress” on global understanding & implementation npj Ocean Sustainability doi.org/10.1038/s44183…

The latest issue of New Zealand Geographic features our seagrass restoration project, Restore the Meadows, in its story about blue carbon. Read more below! nzgeo.com/stories/the-st…

Want to know what triggers seagrass to produce flowers? 🌱🌱🌱🌷🌷 The Restore the Meadows team from @Cawthron_NZ just published a paper with colleagues from CQUniversity, CSIRO, Griffith University, James Cook Uni, Deakin University, @nswdpi that answers this question. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aq…

I'd really encourage people to watch this short TV series documenting the state of NZ's coastal environment. This is one of the final outputs of a huge 10 year research programme investigating how we can better manage our oceans. I was fortunate to be involved in this research

Want to know how you can start restoring seagrass meadows in your region? Join us next Thursday for a webinar that outlines our newly released seagrass restoration blueprint and shows you how to plan a seagrass restoration project. Sign up here: bit.ly/4eQCWOM

I've enjoyed sharing my research on seagrass restoration, learning from others and meeting new people at the #AMSANZMSS2024 conference in Hobart this week

🌿 On #WorldSeagrassDay, we’re reflecting on three years of our Restore the Meadows program! We've done more than just pioneer seed-based restoration in Aotearoa. Huge thanks to our funders & supporters for making this possible!🌊 #Seagrass #OceanRestoration

🌿 New special issue out now! "Seaweed aquaculture research in NZ: Current advances, benefits, challenges & perspectives" 📖 Read here: tandfonline.com/toc/tnzm20/59/3 Edited by: Cawthron Trust The University of Waikato 🎓 University of Auckland | Waipapa Taumata Rau Aquaculture NZ #SeaweedResearch #Sustainability #NZScience

🌿 New paper! We tested 4 substrates (mussel shells, concrete, fibreglass, twine) for growing seaweed. 🧪 Growth was species-specific, but all substrates worked—esp. mussel shells. 💡 Promising options for seaweed aquaculture & restoration! 🔗 tandfonline.com/eprint/BJSR7KS…
