On December 18, come and learn more about #marineforests at the event "Beyond Borders: Marine Forests at the Intersection of Science, Economy, and Culture"! 🌊

Science, art, economy, and gastronomy come together to showcase the value of these habitats.

How can #marineforests help tackle #climatechange?

A new study led by CIIMAR and @marescience.bsky.social, and conducted in Northern Portugal, shows that these ecosystems play a crucial role in storing #carbon.

Our latest paper on kelp restoration using green gravel is out! 🪨🌱

Massive shoutout to Tomás Pinheiro for leading his first-ever publication! A major milestone and well-deserved! 💪

Portugal and Spain team up to create the 1st Iberian Atlas of #Kelp Forests!

From Mar 26–28, João Franco (MARE-IPLeiria/ @arnetla.bsky.social) joined other experts in Valsaín, to map and value these vital marine ecosystems.
A big step for our blue natural heritage!

Meet coral scientist Marcellina Rola!

During her Master's degree, she studied the microbiome of cold-water #corals 🪸 at the @nhmwien.bsky.social and @ccmar.bsky.social

Marine forests e.g. coral reefs, seaweed banks and seagrass meadows are biodiverse ecosystems, essential for a healthy ocean. However, they are disappearing at unprecedented rates. RESTORESEAS aims at improving marine forests' restoration in the Atlantic coasts. #marineforests

2023-2024 were the hottest years in 2000+ yrs. Oceans absorbed 90% of excess heat & 30% of CO₂, buffering rapid biosphere shifts. Yet, #ecosystems like #marineForests remain overlooked. As #COP30 nears, we must rethink #climateChange & push for real action. Read our paper: doi.org/10.1002/aqc....

Optimizing Early Growth of Laminaria hyperborea in Controlled Settings: A Pathway to Improved Restoration Efforts Laminaria hyperborea, a key species in marine forest ecosystems, is experiencing pressure at its southern distribution limit in northern Portugal due to climate change and human-induced stressors. The...

Now it’s time for kelps ✨ another paper with more insights from my thesis is out, this time focusing on laminaria hyperborea! We hope that these findings contribute to more efforts of restoration of our marine forests!

Influence of Light Intensity and Temperature on the Development of Early Life Stages of Ascophyllum nodosum (Phaeophyceae) Ascophyllum nodosum is an ecologically and economically important species forming marine forests in temperate regions. In Europe, this brown seaweed reaches its southern distribution limit in the nort...

So happy to finally share my work! It covers the influence of light intensity and temperature on the early development stages of Ascophylum nodosum, and I hope it contributes to better understanding of this species and development of reforestation efforts to combat climate change.
