Svalbard supreme🤩: Our international IMR/UWA/RUC/NPI team is doing #Arctic field work for our 🇳🇴 Research Council #BlueArc and #GecoKelp projects. We use scientific diving and experiments to understand the future of #kelp forests at the genomic, ecological and ecosystem level

🌊 🐡 The Great Southern Reef is home to kelp forests that support the most unique temperate marine biodiversity on Earth. Find out how #UWA research has been critical in helping to protect it! UWA Research UWA Oceans Institute Read: bit.ly/3WESGxE Watch: bit.ly/3V2xoZW

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
