We're doing a three-week-long survey of biodiversity on Quadra Island. So many cool critters, you can follow along here: inaturalist.ca/projects/quadr…
Bull kelp Nereocystis luetkeana genetic diversity across its distribution range (Gierke et al. 2023). From northern glacial refugia to impoverished genetic diversity in the inner Salish Sea. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
Excited to share our new paper by @PrenticeCarolyn and Kirstin Robinson We used #eDNA and dive-surveys to catalogue biodiversity in Knight Inlet, BC This biodiversity hotspot was recently declared an Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
Working w/@beatymuseum is such a privilege and joy. ❤️
We are pleased to announce that Dr. Bridgette Clarkston @funnyfishes has accepted the position of Honorary Associate in Undergrad Education at the BBM! This position was offered in recognition of her contribution to museum-based education over the years. botany.ubc.ca/people/bridget…
This is so important!! We need to understand where kelp-derived #DOC ends up, as >50% of kelp carbon sequestration is estimated to occur through the DOC pathway. But once it is consumed by microbes, how much is respired vs. enters the food web vs. sinks? 🌊
Preliminary results from my May 2022 kelp dissolved organic carbon experiment show as little as 5% of the DOC released by kelp remaining after 150 days of microbial consumption. There’s way too much variability to issue Blue Carbon credits on assumed averages (e.g. 30%).
📢New Paper‼️Happy to finally share our paper on the physical, genetic & ecological characteristics of novel kelp forests we found~50-70m while ROV-surveying seamounts in the Galapagos. 👉🏿bit.ly/3GJRMbs @VideoRay @InsideNatGeo @DarwinFound @parquegalapagos @MissionBlue
⭐ BIG NEWS ⭐ In collaboration with leaders across several states, countries, Tribes, and First Nations, TNC developed a roadmap to accelerate the recovery of this critical marine species. (🧵1/4) ➡️ Full report: bit.ly/SunflowerSeaSt…
Bull kelp is a fast-growing algae that creates complex three-dimensional habitat. These underwater forests have carbon-sequestering superpowers, and provide food and shelter to numerous Salish Sea species. #bullkelp #seaweed #kelpforest #oceanart #watercolor
Washington state is home to 22 species of kelp; there are more kelp species here than anywhere in the world except Japan. Unfortunately, kelp beds have been disappearing for the last 40 years, but now there's a plan to help save kelp in Puget Sound. makingwaves.psp.wa.gov/index.php/2020…
In some parts of the Salish Sea, kelp forests have declined by as much as 80% in the last 50 years. Researchers from @SFU are working with the Pacific Salmon Foundation to preserve the genetic diversity of kelp by developing a new seed preservation technique and #kelp biobank.
Giant kelp genetic diversity in the Southern California Bight is a good buffer :) Giant kelp genetic monitoring before and after disturbance reveals stable genetic diversity in Southern California frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
Exceptionally excited to launch the first of its kind #Kelp #Restoration Guidebook today! Within are lessons learned from 50 authors that can accelerate the pace of kelp restoration around to #world bit.ly/kelprestore w/ @Conserve_CA @CayneLayton
