Check our new commentary asserting that Seaweed forests are carbon sinks that may help mitigate CO2 emissions: a comment on Gallagher et al. (2022) academic.oup.com/icesjms/articl…

4. Antarctica, which is currently in the dead of winter, has unexpectedly failed to reform it's winter sea ice this year. This is an exceptional deviation from the norm that has left even the most orthodox scientists dumbfounded. x.com/ZLabe/status/1…

Seaweed forests are carbon sinks! Our comment has finally been released outlining flaws in Gallagher et al's claim they are carbon sources. Their study confuses #bluecarbon research and creates doubt around initiatives to protect & restore #seaweedforests! doi.org/10.1093/icesjm…

Seaweed forests fix large amounts of carbon. Much debate exists however on whether some of that carbon ends up sequestered, and sequestration can lead to tangible climate change mitigation. We synthesized the literature to figure this out... 🧵doi.org/10.1111/brv.12… 📸I. Garrido

Our new piece in nature warns of likely marine heatwave intensification under the current/developing El Nino. Clear & urgent need to plan, monitor, manage and adapt to extreme ocean temperatures to reduce ecological and socioeconomic impacts.. nature.com/articles/d4158…

We just held our 5th workshop, this time in Majorca 🇪🇸 , which focused on refining MHW definitions, adapting the approach to coastal/polar regions, and examining ecological impacts across taxa and ecosystems. Very fruitful discussions and exciting work to come.... 📈🌊🤓🌱🌞📉

Haven’t heard about #kelp? No surprise… despite covering 1/3 of the world coastlines, they remain practically absent in international governance. Check our Policy Brief in Frontiers with Karen Filbee-Dexter Thomas Wernberg & E. Techera doi.org/10.3389/fmars.…

Underwater rivers export up to 50% of #kelp #carbon from shallow reefs to deep ocean, with potential for #sequestration. Our new paper shows dense shelf water transport is a major mechanism for kelp export off Australia's #GreatSouthernReef and elsewhere! doi.org/10.1038/s41598…

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…

Global #seaweed forests export 56 million tonnes of carbon (15% of their production) to the deep ocean annually. These biodiverse #blueforests are overlooked in the global ocean #carbon budget. We provide national estimates of this C #sink rdcu.be/dIKup Nature Geoscience
