Hello #aquaculture and #oyster tweeps! Our paper showcasing control treatments for shell-boring polychaetes is finally published! You can find it online here:

Curious about how we can leverage our oceans to sequester carbon dioxide? On 6/23, join a conversation about the science, policy, and decision making landscape for marine carbon dioxide removal in the U.S.. This webinar is free and open to all! Register: https://t.co/Nk4SSSK2Yy

If you're looking to eat more sustainably without sacrificing flavor, you might want to eat more oysters! "Farmed bivalves — oysters, and clams, mussels and scallops — have fewer emissions than all the fish in the sea, farmed or wild." https://t.co/FWaPR478i3

Parasites are disappearing and you should care! Proud to have worked on this project with @DrChelseaLWood, @nataliemastick, @WCPreisser, @KMaslenikov, @TimEssington, Katie Leslie, Luke Tornabene, Tim Essington and more! https://t.co/aLQk40YhjW

Please share widely! And reach out if you have any questions! I'd love to chat about it :)

Highlights (continued): - Treatments caused minimal oyster mortality - Oxygen consumption and shell growth were not negatively impacted by treatments

Highlights: - We co-created 3 interventions with oyster farmers to control shell-boring polychaetes - We assessed whether treatments killed worms, oysters, or affected oyster physiology Drying and freshwater + drying treatments were very effective (>95%) at killing worms

Cool video by @AprilBonif showing the difference in what we can see by just looking at the shell versus what the CT scans show us. We were amazed by all the burrows that were revealed on the inside of the shells! #ctscanner #olympiaoysters #shellfishscience #safsuw

And while you’re at it, you can give us a follow too! @olysfromthepast

April and I have been busy at work! We’ve been at Friday Harbor Labs doing some scanning of historical oyster shells and they’re looking sooo goood!! Check out this IG post where we introduce the project we’re working on!

At no point in human history have we have more power to create a more beautiful world and yet, we choose not to. Right now it seems like we choose the opposite at every opportunity. Why? Why? Why?

The climate is changing. And it’s not just about changes in temperature. We see changes in the ocean, the atmosphere & the land surface. Many of these trends are unprecedented in human history.

We appear to have normalised the collapse of the Great Barrier Reef, 90% of whose parts have bleached this year. Or so the lack of horror and fury suggests. What else are we prepared to overlook, so that fossil fuel companies can keep making their billions?

Choose your climate future.

Indigenous communities sustainably managed oyster fisheries for thousands of years. By centering their knowledge and histories, we could effectively restore and maintain oyster reefs, which have declined by 85% over the last 200 years. https://t.co/ObN9AKcipa
