Seagrasses have a role to play beyond the carbon and biodiversity crises. We need joined up thinking and the UN SDGs already provide a blueprint for this. See our new review: The planetary role of seagrass conservation https://t.co/UWrY2f3QOp

Seagrasses are remarkable plants that have adapted to live in a marine environment. They form extensive meadows found globally that bioengineer their local environments and preserve the coastal...

Poor water quality is a major contributor to global disease burdens. On #WorldWaterDay we outline key issues and opportunities to protect people and biodiversity #OneHealth Learn more https://t.co/k993Ijnm6x
@UCIrvine @TheWCS @UNEP @UQ_News @BloombergDotOrg @nature_org @coral_org
It's #WorldWaterDay. Poor water quality is bad for #biodiversity and it's a major contributor to global disease—a cost disproportionately borne by the poorest countries. #OneHealth Learn more: https://t.co/GRroVjFkvx

Ready for some riveting sh*t? Check out @mongabay @Sean_Mow article on the invisible threat to people and #oceans we must stop ignoring. https://t.co/A6km0ln5OQ

It doesn’t get talked about much, but 7.8 billion humans make a lot of waste, and a lot of it is flowing into the planet’s rivers, estuaries and oceans, with major impacts on clean water, biodivers...

Just 25 #watersheds contribute half of human pathogens entering the #oceans from #sewage #pollution. Happy to comment for @sciam journalist @nikkogasa on a great new global analysis indicating we need transnational collaboration across disciplinary sectors. @OceanSewage @UCIrvine
An analysis of roughly 135,000 watersheds reveals that large amounts of key pollutants come from human wastewater, not just agricultural runoff. (By @nikkogasa)

A fantastic @ConversationEDU article about future-proofing #kelp #restoration efforts - such a collaborative group of international scientists working together! @MelindaAColeman @CayneLayton

Can we breed kelp and other keystone species to survive warming and marine heatwaves? These techniques have promise – but they’re not a silver bullet.

Exciting feature by @CASeaGrant on our research to restore and future-proof California kelp forests led by @UCIrvine researchers @phoebe_dawkins @PazLacavex @EvanFiorenza supported by @BrackenLab and vital collaborations with https://t.co/2sXgp8NbH8 Watch
#SeaGrantFunded researchers are using a new technique dubbed Green Gravel as a method for kelp forest restoration. The gravel is seeded with young kelp spores and then spread from a boat, reducing the cost and effort necessary for reforesting kelp beds. https://t.co/MUILn3JFZ5

Over the weekend, we had the largest #OilSpill in recent #California history. Right on our doorstep. It’s exhausting to witness the constant onslaught of threats facing our #oceans, but it motivates us to find solutions and communicate the science. @UCIrvine @UCIBioSci @UCIEEB
#UCIBioSci Assistant Professor, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Joleah Lamb, was interviewed by @weatherchannel regarding the Huntington Beach oil spill. "Every level of the food chain can be affected by an oil spill, including us." - Joleah Lamb #UCI @JoleahLamb @JMichaelsNews

Check out our new coral disease synthesis paper, co-authored by many brilliant women that have been amazing mentors @LauraDMydlarz @VegaThurber @DrewHarvell and provided me with the opportunity to pass it on here @UCIEEB to the talented @phoebe_dawkins @EcoMDPhD! #WomenInSTEM
We’ve been working on this paper for 4 years! Deciphering Coral Disease Dynamics: Integrating Host, Microbiome, and the Changing Environment Thanks to all coauthors but especially @VegaThurber @JoleahLamb who pushed it out!

California becomes 1st state to set definition of #microplastics in drinking water. Lays foundation for long-term approach to studying plastic particles < than 5 mm in length. Requires 4 yrs of testing, reporting results & public disclosure. https://t.co/9KijbGGaH6
