🚨📝NEW PAPER📝🚨
In a recently published paper, researchers use “an LCA approach to calculate the Long-Lasting #CarbonSequestration (LLCS) of #seaweed, which can be understood as the difference between #CarbonFixation & released C throughout the life cycle of seaweed.”

Using kelp (Laminaria japonica) as an example of seaweed, the present study “validates the procedure of calculating the LLCS of seaweed throughout its whole life cycle in Ailian Bay from nursery to processing into #biochar (fertilizer) as the final product.”

June 8 marks #WorldOceanDay.
We honor this day by highlighting the need to protect marine life from human #fishing activities—a step that has the potential to both tackle biodiversity loss and the ongoing climate crisis. @WorldOceansDay👇 1/10

Ocean ecosystems are vital since oceans:
🗺️ make up 70% of Earth’s surface
🫁 produce 80% of the oxygen we breathe
🐠 house 80% of all life on Earth
At the same time:
🎣98.5% of the #ocean is open to fishing fleets

Human activity is the number one threat to #ocean health.
An initiative led by @aquaticlifeins urges consumers to protect oceans by choosing #PlantBased seafood alternatives and improving the legal protection of marine animals, @matthewzampa reports. 3/10

Wake up to find out Europe is in a gas crisis, Barnaby Joyce is worried about burping cows, and now you find your portfolio is underweight #seaweed ? Me too.
Let's take a look at 'Australian Seaweed As A Megatrend' 👇

1. Investment Thesis: Early stage investing in seaweed as a nascent industry with significant growth potential due to multiple mega trends (climate change, organic fertilizers, food security, and biopharma); moving from research into commercialisation.
2. What is seaweed?
Seaweed biomass can be used for an array of possible uses including food, animal feed, high-value pharmaceutical/ industrial compounds, biofuels, and fertilisers. It's grown in water, and has environmental benefits.

Why seaweed? It can mitigate pollution, provide habitat for marine life, support fish popns and reduce climate impacts #loveseaweed
There is hype behind seaweed: It is being sold as a silver bullet to the worlds problems. We don’t want to overdeliver so how can we achieve a seaweed sector? The answer is #EcosystemBasedManagement or #EBM

For the past three weeks, a group of Trump supporters and QAnon believers met online, swapped theories and eagerly awaited the conspiracy’s violent climax. I was listening in. This is what they sounded like.

A few weeks off & fortunate to be able to head to Inverewe and across to South Uist for our first visit to the Outer Hebrides. Here are a couple of images from the latter to kick off with. Uist Sunset | The High Road @isleofsouthuist @UistArts #SouthUist | @LynnHenni @PaulHenni
@isleofsouthuist @UistArts @LynnHenni @PaulHenni Late sun and mist, taken from The Shieling By The Bay on South Uist. A great place to stay. @HebridesHoliday @isleofsouthuist #SouthUist | @LynnHenni @PaulHenni
@isleofsouthuist @UistArts @LynnHenni @PaulHenni @HebridesHoliday Continuing South Uist images with a sort of before and after. A ruin near to the place we stayed, which is in the last image and gives an idea of what these crofts looked like. @HebridesHoliday @isleofsouthuist #SouthUist | @LynnHenni @PaulHennin i
Today marks what would have been the 100th birthday of noted phycologist Dr. Isabella Aiona Abbott.
She was the first Native Hawai’ian woman to earn a PhD in science and became a renowned expert on Pacific #algae.

Known as the "First Lady of Limu*", Abbott first started learning about edible seaweeds from her mother and spent hours collecting them from the beaches of Maui.
She even wrote a book about how to cook seaweeds!

She began teaching classes at Stanford’s Hopkins Marine Station in 1960.
She then went on to become the first female full professor in Stanford’s biology department, as well as the first minority full professor in 1972.
