Oyster reef restoration projects face the same regulatory processes as developers wanting to build marinas. Making restoration-specific permitting processes would fast-track environmentally-positive projects, says Biodiversity Council member Cath Lovelock, because “We want them back

🌊Tidal wetlands are important coastal habitats, making crucial offerings to #ecosystems. CoastRI, a cross-NCRIS collab, aims to provide a national-scale #coastal observing & modelling capability. Check out key highlights from 2024: coastri.org.au/key-highlights… #WorldWetlandsDay

🌳 Our latest paper on mangroves has just been published! Here, we compiled a dataset of >17,000 published mangrove geometry observations outlining their root, trunk and canopy geometries.🌱Hopefully this leads to more accurate models! Cath Lovelock link.springer.com/article/10.100…
