🌱 Our paper led by Justin Campbell sheds light on the vulnerability of seagrass meadows at tropical–subtropical boundaries in the Northern Hemisphere. These ecosystems are less resilient to increased herbivory compared to lower latitudes. #TEN rdcu.be/dyPgQ

#PhDJourney In 2021 and 2022 we went to Bonaire for #seagrass and #mangrove #restoration work. Teaming up with Waardenburg Ecology, using their BESE biodegradeble structures that aid vegetation restoration

Looking forward to Fee’s phd defence. On world seagrass day! Welcome to join (online): See link: wur.nl/en/calendar-1/…

Dr👩‍🎓! I made it through to the other side! Many thanks to my wonderful team: my promotor Marjolijn Christianen,co-promotors Ingrid vd Leemput and Liesbeth Bakker, and challenging opponents Nicole Esteban Petra Visser Marieke van Katwijk and Juul Limpes. Very proud that my daughter was there as well💚

New paper: We used #deeplearning to enhance monitoring vegetation patterns & their drivers to infer resilience: Automated detection of vegetation & megaherbivores from drone imagery doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoi… and share tools for you to use on your system #seaturtles #seagrass

Wrapping up a 3-week field trip in Eleuthera, Bahamas, on #seagrass-#green turtle-shark interactions with Delphine, Nicole Esteban, and the team at Cape Eleuthera Institute. Deployed satellite tags & video cameras on turtles & sharks – stay tuned #Fieldwork #Research

🤩Very nice presentation today NL Inst of Ecology by Marjolijn Christianen on the effects of Tropical #seascape of fear effects on #trophiccascades & patch size, resilience, #stablestates & #ecosystemfunction involving #seaturtles #sharks & #seagrasses 🐢🦈🌱Looking forward to learn more about it 🤩

🚀 Field Project Marine Sciences: Mission Accomplished! 🌊 122 students immersed in ecological/social marine fieldwork on Texel Island 🔍 Benthos Sampling, Sediment balances, Fish sampling, Observing social activities Thanks awesome staff & students for unforgettable experience

I am the “The largest gathering of seagrass ecologist on the planet” in Napels: 486 attendees from 48 countries. What a conference venue and what a growth of community a 400% increase from my first seagrass workshop in 2010. ISBW15 quote: Dr. Benjamin Jones

What a day! Still recovering and getting used to this doctor-thing (two weeks after)! 😉🎓 A day that started with great presentations on shark and ray ecology by Anieke van Leeuwen (NIOZ), Erwin Winter (WMR), Colin Simpfendorfer (JCU) and myself! 🦈 (1/n)

🥁Come join our session at Oriente! Herbivory, seagrass and climate change 🌟ISBW15 great talks already by Dr Abbi Scott and Eduardo Infantes and more to come

Day 3 ISBW15 looking back at an excellent session: 19 presentations on global change and consumer effects from 12 countries/ 5 continents. A call to revise the ‘pristine’ for seagrass ecosystem. That includes consumers:tread x.com/FeeSmulders/st…
