An extraordinary marine heatwave has developed off the east coast of Canada, with hundreds of thousands of square miles of ocean experiencing sea surface temperatures more than 5°C (9°F) above normal and max anomalies approaching 10°C (18°F) above normal. Thermal stress from

The climate crisis is pushing global temperatures 'off the chart’. Unprecedented heat waves are hitting the Mediterranean Sea, a marine biodiversity hotspot (thanks to Posidonia 😉). 'Seagrasses in the Anthropocene' is the theme of the next #isbw15. See you all in Napoli!

📢 First data chapter from my PhD is out! We carried out field experiments to investigate the most appropriate methods to restore the #seagrass #𝑍𝑜𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑎 𝑚𝑢𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑟𝑖 in #Westernport AUS. https://t.co/NLklmqO6if Deets in thread! 1/5

This analogy hits the nail on the head. Academia is broken and surely the best and the brightest in it can come up with a better system? Or are we happy to keep up the exploitation so those at the top stay well-fed and watered? #AcademicTwitter #academiaisbroken

Once decimated by disease, eelgrass is now recovering after a decades-long restoration in Virginia. Since it's returned the water is clearer, wildlife has returned & carbon & nitrogen sequestration rates are back at levels seen in undisturbed ecosystems. https://t.co/Hpw7I3o2DK

Pretty sure that that's a #Seagrass meadow on the cover of the 2021 @ConservationOrg calendar. Is this the year we #showseagrasssomelove ? 😏

A green recovery for Singapore needs to be both climate and biodiversity inclusive. All too often green initiatives leave out the biodiversity factor; carbon neutral ≠ biodiversity neutral. #biodiversitymatters

Everyone is talking about a “green recovery”, and in Singapore, there’s lots of talk about jobs in the sustainable sector. In Sg, we have plans for a domestic carbon diet. But what about the carbon we export? More by @FogartyClimate & I in Insight today: https://t.co/kHakH02AVf

Why Fund Managers Started Worrying About Biodiversity: The destruction of the planet’s biodiversity poses huge economic risks. That realization is bringing biodiversity the same kind of attention among investors that has been building around climate. https://t.co/M6pukb5osv

Seagrass is the invisible ecosystem on Earth that is rarely given attention but plays a significant role in living things on the planet.

My second PhD data chapter is published 🎉 🌱We looked at how herbivores (🐢🐟🦞) can structure a subtropical #seagrass meadow in the GBR 🐢We found that green turtles/dugongs were structuring the seagrass here and they had a big impact on the meadow 📰 https://t.co/jzhnVMBCyH

There has been talk on #Twitter if these numbers should be as pictured here or made relative to application number from each group. Ummm doesn’t matter they both show a #systemic problem. 😭 Remember you can’t apply without a #permanent or long #contract. #ARC #equity #diversity

This publication sure struck a nerve. Sure I had more male mentors in academic career, but there were SO FEW women in academia overall. Since then I’ve found that my female professional relationships are the ones I rely on to get sh*t done.

And back to seagrass: The globally Vulnerable #seagrass species Halophila beccarii can be found at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve.
