We visited the experimental kelp forest in Gwaii Haanas over a year ago. Next Wednesday, you can meet the people behind it, and learn about the outcomes of the project! (To hear us splash around in the seaweed, take a listen to futureecologies.net/kelpworlds Part 3: "In the Balance")

Excited to present this project as part of an amazing team! Tune in next week! Parks Canada UBC Zoology @floridastate University of Oregon @CHN_HaidaNation #kelp #restoration #seaurchin #gwaiihaanas

Thrilled to share our latest #seagrass work! Congratulations Bia Trevizan et al. and many thanks to Hakai Institute for their support! #protists #zostera #eelgrass

🌊📚This week, we are featuring a new research paper by Stark et al. "Beyond a single patch: local and regional #processes explain #diversity patterns in a #seagrass epifaunal #metacommunity"👉bit.ly/36GikYA 👉CHONe Seagrass Protection Project: bit.ly/SeagrassP

Congrats Laura!

A large-scale metacommunity analysis of seagrass meadows along the West coast of Canada presents refined hypotheses on the contributions of dispersal, abiotic conditions, and species interactions to epifaunal invertebrate community structure. Read more: bit.ly/meps_655_91

An amazing opportunity to join our team!

Watch the new 'Researchers Revealed' video where Emily Adamczyk Dr. Emily Adamczyk, PhD Candidate at UBC Zoology, shares her research on the #biodiversity of invertebrates and microbes that live in #seagrass. Watch here: youtu.be/lkPF9slZmf4 #zoology #scicomm #biology #ubcscience

A window into my #seagrass research on #invertebrates and #microbes! Thanks Beaty Biodiversity Museum 🐳 for putting this together! #WomenInScience #biodiversity #eelgrass

I will be hiring a Mariculture Research Fellow to work with us for the summer, at least (hoping it rolls into a full-time, salaried job)...if you know anyone experienced in the cultivation of seaweeds (particularly keeping #kelp gametophytes) please have them watch this space!

🚨New in PNASNews! We demonstrate that aquatic #biodiversity directly benefits humanity via nutritional benefits of #seafood. I’m thrilled to share this: it's a BIG one for me, it’s the product of > 7 years (!) of developing ideas & collecting data. A🧵 pnas.org/content/118/15…

I am honoured to be part of an amazing team that combined Haida ethics/TEK with Western science to effectively restore #kelp forests in Gwaii Haanas. @CHN_HaidaNation Parks Canada @floridastate OIMB+CMLC UNB UBC Zoology Hakai Institute @DFO_Science 📰muse.jhu.edu/article/793659…

Does the eelgrass #microbiome protect against disease? Does the microbiome vary between diseased and asymptomatic eelgrass? 🤔 My team explored these questions via experiments and field surveys at Friday Harbor Labs.
