Planning a wetland project?.We’re proud to launch the Victorian Coastal Wetland Restoration Handbook — a go-to resource for anyone working to restore blue carbon ecosystems in southeastern Australia. 📘 Download the handbook:

Scaling up for more resilient coastal restoration 💪 After some interesting field observations, our #RegenOurCoasts team is piloting larger plots, more biodegradable layers and denser plantings for more robust, weather-resilient revegetation efforts! 🌱

Did you know that tidal marsh restoration can recover the properties & functions of a healthy marsh in as little as 5 years? With #WorldWetlandsDay fast approaching, find out more in this latest @GWFWater article:. 🔗. #wetlands #bluecarbon #saltmarsh.

🌱 If at first you don’t succ-seed, try again! Our #ReGenOurCoasts team is trialling alternate methods for #seagrassrestoration after direct seeding challenges. By securing 160+ healthy seagrass fragments to biodegradable BESE structures, we hope their roots will grow & thrive 🌊

Last Friday, the #ReGenOurCoasts team joined forces with Western Port Biosphere Foundation for a mangrove planting #CitizenScience day on French Island! Our participants planted 240 mangroves and sparked inspiring conversations on how to restore & protect #coastalwetlands🌱

Just landed from the International Marine Conservation Congress (#IMCC7) in South Africa, Phebe Fidge offers some reflections on the conference theme, outlining key lessons on how to “Make Marine Science Matter”. 🔗 #IMCC7 #marinescience

♻️ Biodegradable structures for restoration come in many shapes & sizes. Our #RegenOurCoasts team is adding to restoration trials by exploring #bamboo devices for mangrove restoration 🌱 After deploying 336 devices, we're excited to see their impact this mangrove seeding season!

🌿 Can nutrient pollution impact carbon storage in seagrass meadows? Recent studies show high nutrients alter seagrass chemistry, reducing #bluecarbon sequestration. Effective management of nutrients is crucial to protect these vital #carbonsinks. 🌍. Explore the research 👇

🌊🏠 Attention Australian coastal landholders - have you participated in our nation-wide landholder survey on #coastalwetland restoration? If you haven’t had the chance yet, our survey is still open!. 🔗Survey:

🍎Thinking about reducing your food waste? In the latest #ReGenOurCoasts blog, we explore cutting-edge ways to turn industry-generated biomass waste into biodegradable habitats that support #ecologicalrestoration. Read here 📣

This tool offers a new approach for #bluecarbon restoration, adaptable to other regions. The open access tool resources are on Github:

Meet the team! Ivona is a botanist and environmental scientist with a passion for conservation restoration and environmental education. Ivona joins us as a #research assistant with the #RegenOurCoasts program.🌱🌊

🌍 Explore how this impacts #climatechange policies and can guide sustainable farming practices: [.

🚨 New paper alert! 🚨 Our latest research by @odebs2278 unveils effective strategies to reduce #methane emissions from #farmdams. Using our innovative ‘Pondi’ sensors, we observed up to a 92% decrease in emissions and improved water quality!

A new spatial tool for #BlueCarbon restoration! 🌿 Our GIS-based tool identifies 33,253 ha of restoration potential along Victoria's coastline. See thread for info on open access resources 👇.Read here:.

In her article published through @renew_economy, our scientist @PhebeRowland1 collates the best available evidence to support offshore wind development on the Illawarra coast and appeals for rapid climate action 🌏. 🔗 #offshorewind #RenewableEnergy
