C. gigas 8ZZ showing us some love 🤎 It made itself feel at home in Poole, you could say it became part of the furniture! As the shell grew around the subtidal culture system it created two protrusions and this lovely heart shape Project RaNTrans #aquaculture #oyster

Our rivers are a danger to public health 🤒 Swimming in sewage-polluted water can lead to gastroenteritis, infections and hepatitis. Last week we delivered our petition to Defra UK, demanding 200 designated inland bathing waters by 2030. RT to keep the pressure up 💪

Ready to get started Malacological Society of London #MolluscanForum at the Natural History Museum!! Looking forward to talks from the UoP Marine Biology group Fiona Woods Kate Dey Monica Fabra Lucy Martin Lauren Cook

Presented my PhD work at the Molluscan Forum yesterday, at the Natural History Museum! 🦖#lifegoals. Well done to Fiona Woods Lucy Martin Monica Fabra Rachel Foster and everyone else who did brilliant talks and posters, and thanks Malacological Society of London 🐌 for the opportunity

Already scribbled down so many notes at the #seascapesymposium at ZSL and it's only session 2. Such a brilliant line up of talks and can't wait to hear more.

Eric Harris-Scott and Zoe Morrall shared some of the #research coming out of #RanTrans at the ZSL Science #seascapesymosium - one on #ecosystem provision of the #native #oyster and the other focusing on #algalmat removal and #remediation potential 👨‍🔬🌊👩‍🔬 #SciComm

Very exciting couple of days ZSL for the #SeascapeSymposium. Loads of great talks, inspiring conversations, and new collaborations. There should be more of these initiatives. I’m looking forward to the next meeting ☺️

There is nothing silly about a goose.

Excited to see how this changes our local environment for the better by focusing on #ecological #connectivity between #coastal #habitats Solent Seascape Project launched to restore marine habitats bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Belated #phycologyFriday. Joint habitat forming effect of bivalves (Modiolus modiolus) and seaweed (kelp, red algae) increases substrate complexity🦪 🌱 and biodiversity goes through the roof. Example is from Western Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👇🏼 Check out the paper here authors.elsevier.com/a/1gHPdB8ccuwy…

Yay even more #oysters #reefs and more #fluxes and #ecosystemservices at #ITRS2023 Giulia Filippini

Another great #BPS23 plenary! Jessica Adams explains how to explode algae 🌱🧨🎆 The British Phycological Society Aberystwyth University Ecology Group, Newcastle University Sciences at Newcastle

Absolutely fab week at #bps23 at Newcastle University catching up with Heather Sugden and looking forward to seeing how Project RaNTrans can help with the exciting new LIFE WADER project! Lots of great chats and future collabs in the pipeline 🙌🎉 Eric Harris-Scott EmmaAliceW

Super conditions yesterday to put the first layer of lime on our mini-coupelles. These structures will be placed on frames near our restored #oyster #reef sites to encourage settlement of #oysterlarvae #restoration #aquaculture

Spent the day on the field for 1) some reconnaissance survey around a major point source of #roadrunoff into a sensitive habitat. 2) Also joined Eric Harris-Scott for some oyster monitoring on the #solent #oyster restoration project. #6PPDquinone #UoPScience #tireparticles 🚘🚛🦪

Put #oysters and beautiful #spinnaker #sails in the same slide and win my #attention Eric Harris-Scott NORA_Europe

An amazing historic oyster cultivation site and my first time knocking back a flat oyster... all that was missing was a Guinness
