Check out these beautiful cold water #corals! 🪸🌊. #MarineLife

Did you know that the coral #microbiome might help coral restoration? 🪸. Manuela Quiroga Pérez @m_quiroga98, is comparing the microbiome of transplanted #corals with that of wild communities. #marineforests #corals

Fantastic week in Sweden with a brilliant group discussing restoration of deep-sea 🪸s (and sponges). Beautiful location incl. a visit to Tjärno Marine Station to see some ongoing experiments with Lophelia. #LIFElophelia #LIFEecorest #LIFEdream #restoreseas .@LIFEprogramme

Did you know that #seaweeds also have a #microbiome and that it could help restore #kelp forests?🌿. Sofie Peeters, a PhD student working at @ugent with @odclerck, talks more about it. #marineforests @WaterJPI @BiodiversaPlus

Probiotics for seagrasses? 🧫😯. Listen to how Professor Gerard Muyzers' #microbiome research @muyzer, @UvA_Amsterdam can help restore #seagrass meadows🌱

How do we bring #marineforests restoration to schools in a landlocked country? 🌱. Check out this #scicomm project on wheels, our partners @NHM_Wien developed to bring the topic of #ocean #conservation to school classes.🚲

Have you ever heard about this beautiful cold-water #coral? 🪸 . By understanding what the optimal conditions for the corals' reproduction are, we can invest in creating more efficient and successful coral #restoration methods. Research at @goteborgsuni.#deepsea

Márcio Coelho @UAlg explains how he collaborates with local fishers for his work with #corals. Working with local populations is crucial to ensure local support for #marinerestoration efforts, but it can also benefit research. #citizenscience #corals @BiodiversaPlus

Meet coral scientist Marcellina Rola @RolaMarcellina! . During her Master's degree, she studied the microbiome of cold-water #corals 🪸 at the @NHM_Wien and @CienciasDoMar. #marineanimalforests #marineforests @BiodiversaPlus

Laminaria ochroleuca, the golden #kelp, is crucial for marine ecosystems, from the UK to Morocco. But it faces threats from climate change and pollution. At @ugent, we're studying the relationship between its #microbiome and health. 🦠. #kelpforests

Are you familiar with pathogenic Oomycetes?🔬. Meet Tamara Corcobado! She is investigating the impact of these microscopic eukaryotes in #seagrasses and #kelp, at @PhytophthoraRC, @MENDELUcz. 🧫. #oomycetes #marineforests .@BiodiversaPlus, @WaterJPI

🙌 Focus on BiodivRestore funded projects. Today discover the RESTORESEAS project: Marine Forests of animals, plants and algae: nature-based tools to protect and restore biodiversity.#ecosystems #water #nature #biodiversity .👉 learn more 🔗

Did you know Earth’s climate has always changed?. Studying these past natural climate cycles helps us understand human impacts and predict future environmental changes, guiding restoration efforts. Paleoceanographer Dr. Lélia Matos @leliamatos @UAlg explains more. #climatechange

Advocating for ocean conservation requires taking a step back and listening to what local communities want and need. @UFSC is working with schools to teach about the ocean, and open a dialogue between communities, legislators and researchers.

RESTORESEAS is present at the European Coral Reef Symposium 🪸#ECRS24 .PhD student @NHM_Wien Christian Pruckner is talking about the composition of #microbial communities associated to the cold-water coral D. pertusum. #coralrestorarion #coralreefs.@BiodiversaPlus

We are hearing from @esterserrao, project coordinator of #MARFOR and #RESTORESEAS, two Biodiversa-funded projects. She shares the contribution of these projects in the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas for genetic diversity 🧬.#BiodiversaPrague2023

Márcio Coelho is talking about different lineages of #Paramuricea in the Atlantic and Mediterranean at @Ecrs2024

Successful #coralrestoration hinges on determining the optimal number of coral colonies per unit area needed for ecosystem resilience amid ongoing changes. This is one of the things we are studying @ECOAQUA_ULPGC @ulpgc. 🐠 #CoralRestoration #marineforests
