Just out in @jexpbiol.bsky.social: Great work by @racinerangel.bsky.social documenting effects of a 6-month factorial field manipulation of warming X CO2 on intertidal mussel shell thickness, strength, & corrosion. #SitkaNSF @cascadejbs.bsky.social journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...

Solid work highlighting climate-change risk to a “tough” species touted for its ability to resist environmental variability & buffer other species against environmental stress: “even the hardiest species may struggle to keep up with the pace of warming.” #MarineLife #Seaweed 🌍🌊🦑

Well this is worrying.

Check out our new review paper, championed by Lydia White, "A path towards appropriate degradation experiments for assessing carbon sequestration potential of macroalgae". Read it here: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... @coastclim.bsky.social @tvarminne.bsky.social #mCDR

From our friends at @noaa.gov Office of National Marine Sanctuaries: A new study led by scientists with Scripps Oceanography, NOAA, @mbarinews.bsky.social & the US Navy reveals how fish in West Coast sanctuaries “share” the soundscape. These insights help managers protect vital habitats.

We are so proud of our sea star wasting work that came out today. This interactive article is very complete and includes beautiful videos. Unmasking the Sea Star Killer www.biographic.com/unmasking-th...

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 People behind the Project. Welcome to the fabulous Dr Ray Ward, Reader of Marine Sciences at Queen Mary University of London and the research lead for SKRP on carbon sequestration.. ⭐ Ray's favourite kelp creature...the undulate ray, of course 😉! 📸 The Undulate Ray Project

Dr Aaron Eger from @unsw.edu.au is a finalist in the Eureka Prize for Emerging Leader in Science. Learn more: youtu.be/M06od5P7s1s #EurekaPrizes

Our new paper in Journal of Phycology has come out today. Low light and low water motion can exacerbate the effects of marine heatwaves on giant kelp: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 People behind the Project. We'd like to introduce you to some of the people who make up our little kelp forest. Hello to the fabulous Sam Fanshawe, Senior UK Projects Manager at Blue Marine Foundation. 🐟 Sam's favourite kelp creature...the colourful cuckoo wrasse! 📸 Darin Smith

Hello bluesky! Happy to transition here and kick it off with a new publication and alltogether great collaboration with @a-h-mcgrath.bsky.social: microbes may increase kelp gametophyte thermal resilience and help them have sex 🦠🌊🌿! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Icons of the future… At some point in the future, a mid-career researcher will see this pairing and be similarly inspired. So great to spend time with you this week, @jebyrnes.bsky.social & @jngriffy.bsky.social! #ITRS2025

The sea urchin Paracentrotus seems to not like to graze on the invasive macroalga Rugulopteryx okamurae. @bernalocean.bsky.social #ITRS2025 🧪🦑

Can the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus aid in the control of the invasive macroalga Rugulopteryx okamurae? @bernalocean.bsky.social is studying this issue. #ITRS2025

Anne Salomon taking us on a marvelous deep dive through time, recontextualising people’s relationship with coastal ecosystems #ITRS2025 #marineecology 🧪🦪🌱🎣 @ifremer.bsky.social @ofbiodiversite.bsky.social @sbroscoff.bsky.social @thembauk.bsky.social

Great evening, gathering the COASTFRAG group at the #ITRS2025 conference in Brest, France, for discussions of results and plans for our intertidal rockweeds habitat fragmentation work.

Part of our team is attending the 14th International Temperate Reef Symposium (ITRS) in Brest!

Really interesting talk Gray William about gastropods and nerdy rocky shore science at #ITRS205. We can learn a lot from intertidal snails. 🧪🦑

More from @twernberg.bsky.social at #ITRS2025: We must to step up seriously if we want to stop and repair kelp loss. Is it even feasible? Daunting amount of restoration projects needed (maybe millions).

At #ITRS2025: @twernberg.bsky.social talks about the Phycocene, and that we need to have honest discussions about solutions for saving our oceans and #kelp forests. 🧪🦑

Such a cool project presented by Shane Farrell here at #ITRS2025. Ecology of kelp forests and turf algae meets chemical ecology. Check out the Science paper: www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1... 🧪🦑

We're at #ITRS2025, and there are so many interesting talks on kelp!

This #PhycologyFriday we found an amazing diversity of marine algae during the gorgeous low tide @stanfordhopkins.bsky.social

Lost underwater forests are returning to Sydney’s coastline. edition.cnn.com/science/aust... @adriatix.bsky.social #kelp 🧪🦑

For this #PhycologyFriday I'm happy to share my ✨new paper✨ about #kelp disease -> rdcu.be/ets28 Pink-spot disease occurs in kelp nurseries across North America and Europe according to our survey and we identified a bacteria (Algicola sp.) as the likely causative agent. 🦑 #aquaculture

Want to get a good overview of #kelp forests? Have a look at the UN report: Securing a Sustainable Future for Kelp Forests www.unep.org/resources/re... 🦑🧪

So many baby Macrocystis sporophytes! Successful first round of culturing giant #kelp in my new lab!! 🥳 🌊 🔬 @stanfordhopkins.bsky.social

Pushing the research front forward… What happens with GHG fluxes in shallow-bay benthic communities with infauna vs grazers - plus warming? @coastclim.bsky.social @balticseacentre.bsky.social with @nascimentofj.bsky.social

KelpIT is project about Swedish kelp forests, staring in 2025. We will use innovation and technology to advance our understanding of kelp forest distribution, health, and status.
