With #kelpforests in many places declining 1-2%/year, the current rate of #restoration is far from matching the rate of degradation. “It would be much cheaper and by far more efficient to avoid loss to start with” explained @twernberg.bsky.social greatsouthernreef.com/thomas-wernb...

“Our shared scientific fascination with the #GreatSouthernReef has grown over decades, yet we've often operated in isolation," @twernberg.bsky.social reflects. "Now, through the GSR Research Partnership, we can unite our collaborative efforts and that is the exciting momentum we need.”

Golden #kelp Ecklonia radiata and some associated fauna, Jurien Bay, Western Australia, for #phycologyfriday. Our golden kelp is warm tolerant but has suffered extensive decline due an extreme #marineheatwave @uwaoceans.bsky.social @greatsouthernreef.bsky.social

Impressed by the many delegates, pavilions, events and ways that people engage - but not impressed by how little we have moved forward towards limiting climate change.

Amazing field work diving at long-term #kelp sites in Jurien Bay with 3 ‘generations’ of my PhD students. Feel so privileged to work with such outstanding humans and in such a unique environment! #uwa
