How effective are #MPAs for conserving #kelp #forests ? Our perspective shows they can help with some drivers of loss like grazing, but often fail to protect against ocean warming and coastal darkening - 2 main reasons we are losing kelp forests globally! doi.org/10.1111/jpy.13…

Stayin’ alive stayin’ alive 🎶(unless it’s hot) 🎶 Our new paper led by Luka Seamus Wright show how #kelp #detritus stay alive after detachment, increasing #carbon export potential … but warming seriously shortens the time span. Great PhD chapter Luka 👊UWA Research Havforskningsinstituttet
