This is what #seagrass restoration at scale looks like! We’re out on the boat today - ready to deploy a few thousand sandbags to facilitate seagrass seedling recruitment along the coast just north of Adelaide 🌱 🌊 #GenerationRestoration #BlueCarbon #MarineEcology

Why protecting mangroves is key to mitigating climate change

Cutting them down releases four times as much carbon as the same amount of upland trees. Brazilian scientist and Nat Geo Explorer Angelo Bernardino is working to save them.

Our new paper in @NatureComms uses a multi-species, multi-heatwave framework to model MHW impacts on marine predators. We find a surprising diversity of impacts across species and MHWs, signaling a need for ecosystem-based investigations of MHW impacts. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Protecting #mangroves will help replenish the seas! 🐠🦈🦐🦀🌳 They are important breeding grounds and nurseries for many types of fish, shark, crocodile, shrimp & crabs. They also ensure food security for local #communities and provide livelihoods for coastal populations

Two important recent papers go hand in hand. The first shows that forest-based carbon offsets are not working. The authors seems to suggest ways to fix them, but after 35 years of failures, maybe its time to move on. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Action needed to make carbon offsets from forest conservation work for climate change mitigation

Most REDD projects deliver little to no decrease in deforestation and forest degradation.

Nobody is to blame for a shark bite, but it is the responsibility of elected leaders to have evidence-based & effective means of safety in place - shark nets fail this test. @ChrisMinnsMP @TaraMoriarty @PennySharpemlc the nets must be retired for good. 🎥 iview.abc.net.au/video/NEWS2…
