A real pleasure to have been involved in this work & great to see it published! #BlueCarbon #Saltmarsh 🌱🌊

In honour of #WorldSeagrassDay, we look forward to welcoming Andrew Jayes & Georgia Bennett (Yorkshire Wildlife Trust - follow us on Bluesky 🦋) to MMU's Department of Natural Sciences next week for an insight into seagrass restoration in the Humber estuary for our UG ‘Coastal Ecology and Ecosystem Services’ module Hannah Mossman 🌱🌊

Mind if we just scooch over and explain why seagrass is so important for wildlife and the planet? A thread on #WorldSeagrassDay 🌊🌿🌎

📢Do you want to or need to know how much organic carbon (OC) accumulates in Great British saltmarshes. New Natural Environment Research Council funded research has quantified that all GB saltmarshes accumulate 46563 ± 4353 tonnes of OC annually. Check it out: tinyurl.com/nhcnxhfu #bluecarbon

This was a massive team effort including, Ed Garrett @Coastal_Carbon Roland Gehrels Natasha Barlow Lucy Miller Dr Lucy McMahon @cailadd and many non twitter folk. We would also could not have done this work without support from NatureScot Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru | Natural Resources Wales Natural England

Seagrasses are our ocean super heroes - Biodiversity support - Coastal defence - Carbon storage - Ecosystem engineers - Fisheries support - Trap pollutants - and many other amazing things too......

Great to be able to present the results from 12 years of monitoring the spatial management approach to #conservation & #fisheries around the Isle of #Arran at #IPW2024 Many thanks to the many people who have helped make this work possible!

.CumbriaWildlifeTrust is restoring a huge #seagrass meadow in South Cumbria as part of the global effort to fight #ClimateChange. Cumbria Wildlife Trust stated that Morecambe Bay has lost 70% of these important #BlueCarbon habitats over the last century. loom.ly/kQ3zczg

Was fortunate enough to capture some photos of our recent insane geomagnetic storm from Bird Island South Georgia last week!

More than 130 saltmarsh experts gathered for the UK Saltmarsh Forum in Dumfries this week to identify key areas for future research to increase knowledge of valuable saltmarsh habitats Read more: ceh.ac.uk/news-and-media… #BlueCarbon #saltmarsh
