🪸 Restoreseas (#BiodivRestore) helped bring together decades of macroalgae data from Faial Island, revealing a treasure trove of 2,283 marine specimens. A boost to our knowledge of Azorean biodiversity & future conservation efforts! 👉 doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.12…

Márcio Coelho Universidade Algarve explains how he collaborates with local fishers for his work with #corals. Working with local populations is crucial to ensure local support for #marinerestoration efforts, but it can also benefit research. #citizenscience #corals Biodiversa+ (European Biodiversity Partnership)

Did you know that #seaweeds also have a #microbiome and that it could help restore #kelp forests?🌿 Sofie Peeters, a PhD student working at UGent with Olivier De Clerck, talks more about it. #marineforests Water JPI Biodiversa+ (European Biodiversity Partnership)

🪸 Right now, the world is going through the largest coral bleaching event on record. The impacts of climate change on our oceans – and our entire planet – cannot be ignored. See how you can act to help tackle the climate crisis at oceana.ly/3Tz19QK

Did you know Earth’s climate has always changed? Studying these past natural climate cycles helps us understand human impacts and predict future environmental changes, guiding restoration efforts. Paleoceanographer Dr. Lélia Matos Lelia Matos Universidade Algarve explains more. #climatechange

"For me, one of the most important contributions of the project is the #holistic approach that we will use to do #marine #restoration" — Francisco Otero Ferrer, ULPGC. All interviews ▶️ youtube.com/@oceancitizen_… #OceanCitizen #MissionOcean #HorizonEU #GenerationRestoration

🪸🌡️ Restoreseas (#BiodivRestore) shows that deep-sea corals like Desmophyllum pertusum are sensitive to temperature and oxygen levels. Warmer, less oxygenated waters can lead to slower growth and reduced reef health. 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.dsr2…
