New Study Highlights Success in Open-Coast Seagrass Restoration New research led by scientists at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography is shining a spotlight on one of the ocean’s most overlooked habitats: seagrass.

A restoration success in the more challenging open coast is my news to me good news for Mar 25 #OceanOptimism #EarthOptimism today.ucsd.edu/story/new-st...

The R/V Oceanus sits offshore of Chuginadak Island while steam rises from the volcanic mountain peak.

Dr. Jim Estes made a huge positive impact on ecology and my way of thinking. I am saddened to hear about his passing. Reading Serendipity and thinking of his experiences while sampling kelp forests and urchin barrens across the Aleutian Archipelago will always be a highlight of my life.

A virtual flyer for an online event titled, “The What, Why, and How of Kelp Forest Restoration” with Pike Spector and Tristin Anoush McHugh. The top image is of intertwined golden brown blades of giant kelp rising towards the sun lit ocean surface. The water is blue and clear. Below is the title of the talk in white letters on a green background. To the right are stacked headshots of a blonde woman above a bearded man in a red beanie

Interested in learning more about innovate restoration and kelp forest ecology?

Join me and Tristin as we dive deep into kelp forests and explore ways to help the kelp!
