💪 Today @chemello_silvia presented the results of the project "EcoReforest" at the CIIMAR annual event. The project aimed to test eco-friendly reforestation methods to reduce the impact of marine restoration on the environment. Thank you to everyone involved in the project ! 💚

#Marineforests transport 56 million tons of carbon annually to the deep sea. Isabel Sousa Pinto (@CiimarUp) and Jorge Assis (@CienciasDoMar) underscore the importance of these forests in fighting the #climatecrisis. https://t.co/M7C9mNT1Jp #CIMARLA #CIIMARnews #CCMARnews

Live from Blueforests project final event! Amazing presentations from all the partners showing super interesting results! 😎 @EEANorwayGrants @EEAGrantsPT

Today, Viana do Castelo hosts the final event of the @blueforesting project. The project is dedicated to developing guidelines for resilient #MarineForests as #naturebasedsolutions for a sustainable future. https://t.co/n5C1AcIw9e #CIIMARresearch #Blueforesting #EEAGrants

It's ON! Morning session of the Final Event of the Blueforesting project. Today our partners will showcase their results 👨‍💻

📢Join us for the Blueforesting final event! We will discuss blue economy opportunities associated with seaweed ecosystem services and how these initiatives can promote the active recovery of Marine Forests 🌊 Register here, seats are limited! ➡️ https://t.co/l4aA3XtwDE

Testing the performance of biodegradable fibers for #marinerestoration!💪 This Saccharina latissima looks more than ready to go to the sea 😎😎🌊🌊 #marineforests #oceanconservation #habitatrestoration

@blueforesting @EEAGrantsPT @eeagrants @CiimarUp

💚 Another trial, another species! First germlings of the brown algae Ascophyllum nodosum are starting to show up! 😎 We hope they will keep growing strong until the next deployment 🌊 #eeagrantspt #eeagrants #marinerestoration #Seedciimar #marineforests #blueforests

🎉 First baby Fucus on our discs! Finally, after many months of waiting, we were able to see the first recruits 🤩 Let's hope these little guys grow up healthy and strong 💪 #marinerestoration #marineforests #marinescience #oceanconservation #eeagrantspt #eeagrants #Seedciimar

Not even rain and bad weather can stop us! ⛈️ Testing new methods to restore our lost #marineforests with an incredible team! 💪 Good luck little ones 🤩 . . . . . #marinescience #MarineConservation #marinerestoration #BlueCarbon #blueforests #oceanconservation

We started our experiments with Fucus serratus! Here in Portugal, this species is only found in the north, which is also its southern distribution limit. We hope that these little guys will grow healthy and help us recover our depleted #marineforests #MarineConservation

🤯It was a BLAST! Despite the bad weather, a multitude of visitors of all ages came to see us at the #ciimaropenday. 🌊 We hope we have transmitted our enthusiasm to all of you and that you enjoyed your visit as much as we enjoyed hosting you!🤗 #scienceeducation #citizenscience

@CiimarUp Open Day is almost here! 🐋 Until then, here's a glimpse of what awaits you. 🗓️ September 17, 2023 📍 Porto Cruise Terminal 🕐 10h00 – 19h00 #CIIMARopenday #CIIMARevents #CIIMARscicomm #openday #openday2023 #scicommunity #scicomm #oceanliteracy

Great time in Reykjavik for the @EMBSsymposium . Also had the privilege to present a part of my PhD work on kelp forests @Marine_Forests and how these can be affected by MPAs and herbivory. Work that has been developed in @CiimarUp @blueforesting and @MARE_centre

🎉Almost ready for the first deployment!! Our little babies of Laminaria hyperborea will be used to test different reforestation methods for Portuguese marine forests through the @blueforesting project 🌊 #marinerestoration #marineforests #blueforests #oceanconservation

We did it! 🥳 Our first cultivation of Laminaria hyperborea (commonly known as cuvie) was done for the @blueforesting project! Swipe to see how pretty they are! 😍 #marinerestoration #marineforests #blueforesting #BlueForests

Our colleague Francisco Arenas (@falaropo) explaining the importance of #MarineForests and the threats they are currently facing, with particular focus on Northern Portugal and Galiza

Our colleague @marina_dolbeth presented today, at the Ocean3R final event, their work on #MarineForests as nature-based solutions for the recovery of degraded ecosystems

Happy to present the great work of our former student Tomás Pinheiro, who unfortunately couldn't join us today, at the final Ocean3R event. His work focused on testing different #MarineReforestation methods for the golden #kelp
