This week, MEES students and teachers attended the XXXV Annual Zosterapalooza conference. It was exciting to see how one of the students used visualizations developed in our Science Visualization course in her presentation!

How many gallons of toxic cruise ship scrubber wash needs to dumped into Casco Bay before someone (anybody!) realizes the potential connection to the alarming disappearance of eel grass?
* heavy metals
* PAHs
* increased acidity

Hey @sfestuaryinstitute.bsky.social do you or anyone else here know when the large populations of #eelgrass started to massively die out in the #SFBay?

🌊🌿 Underwater forests are some of the most vital, yet overlooked, ecosystems on our planet.

From towering #kelpforests swaying off our coasts to the lush meadows of #eelgrass in our #estuaries, these habitats are absolute powerhouses for ocean health.

Is that seagrass related to our own endangered eelgrass? #Ocean #climate #eelgrass

‘Explosion’ of invasive European green crabs reported in Southeast Alaska When a young Sealaska intern walking a beach in July 2022 found the first evidence of European green crab presence in Alaska – a discarded shell on a beach on Annette Island in the state’s far southeast corner – it was an ominous sign about the invasive species’ northward spread. Since then, the Metlakatla Indian […]

#Hydrilla may look lush underwater, but it quickly replaces #eelgrass- a foundation of healthy #fish & #wildlife #habitat.

One invader can change an entire ecosystem.

Project Launched to Update Eelgrass Habitat Model in Long Island Sound • NEIWPCC This summer, NEIWPCC, in partnership with the Connecticut National Estuarine Research Reserve (CTNERR) and Cornell Cooperative Extension Suffolk County (CCESC), initiated a project to update and impro...

Eelgrass = important coastal habitat for marine life!

Learn about a new collaborative project that will provide critical information for future eelgrass restoration efforts in the Long Island Sound.

#BCWildSamlonDay proclamation record

The province of BC has proclaimed that June 1 will now be #BCWildSalmonDay! Fingers crossed for greater protection for this species and the the habitats essential for its survival (like #kelp and #eelgrass)! #BCpoli #conservation #salmon

Eelgrass is a coastal hero—storing carbon, filtering water & sheltering marine life.

🌿🐟 Help protect it:
🔹 Know before you go
🔹 Trash your trash
🔹 Use restrooms
🔹 Respect coastal spaces

Less impact = healthier shores. 💚

one of my students' climate projects is on #Eelgrass y'all. 😍 the kids are alright.

Small Hairy hermit crab in a well-worn periwinkle shell, climbing a blade of bright green eelgrass. The hermit is a yellow/olive shade, with black eyes; her antennae are dotted-line yellowish with white. The shell, up to 2.5 cm. long, and black when new, is coated with green algae.

Hermit crabs are good climbers. They like high places where they can sit and watch the world go by. Here, a little one climbs the eelgrass. #VancouverIsland #HermitCrabs #IntertidalInvertebrates #Invertebrates #MarineLife #DailyHermit #Eelgrass

Genetic diversity important for conservation of eelgrass meadows The genetic variation of eelgrass is crucial for future protection of eelgrass meadows on the West coast of Sweden. For this reason, researchers at the University of Gothenburg have together with the ...

Happy World Seagrass Day! New findings from my colleagues: Genetic mapping is key in eelgrass restoration. Choosing donor meadows from the same genetic cluster is pivotal for a successful outcome. Read more: www.gu.se/en/news/gene... #eelgrass #seagrass #worldseagrassday #biodiversity #science

Our work is supported by Remote Ecologist and by subscriptions from Upwell Coffee. Very grateful for productive, cold dives - and for Mystic Soup Co. for warming us up! Exploring winter conditions is an important piece to the puzzle!

We had a great kickoff meeting today, convening an expert panel to help us develop recommendations for California to develop a state-wide #eelgrass mapping program. We have a great team of folks from NOAA, NMFS, EPA, NASA/JPL, and the private sector

How are communities of invertebrates living on #eelgrass influenced by the structure of their habitat? We found community function invariant despite unique responses of diversity, abundance, and composition to habitat metrics across scales. #epifauna
