Kelp Rescue is excited to announce the publication of our 1st ever kelp restoration peer-reviewed paper! 🎉Since our start in 2021, we've been testing scientific approaches to kelp restoration, and this paper is the culmination of a huge team effort.

ISS was a blast, made so many amazing connections, caught up with so many folks I’ve been meaning to! I also somehow managed to corall people to the beach to hang out, chat, and listen to me infodump about local seaweeds 😂🔬🌿🌊

A belated #PhycologyFriday post & small landmark for my job at Kelp Rescue Initiative: a gametophyte culture grown from spores of Bull #Kelp we restored with #greengravel last summer in K’omoks territory, which we seeded our first f/2 #restoration outplants with this week at VIU’s Deep Bay station!

The global seaweed industry grew more than 700% in the last 30 years, but North America accounts for <2% of global seaweed production.
What is needed to support the growth of a sustainable and economically viable seaweed industry in British Columbia?

Incredible paper and so so important for informing our restoration work!
Excited to announce our work on kelp genomics is now out at Current Biology. Lead by Postdoc extraordinaire Jordan Bemmels, we sequence WGS for 600+ bull and giant kelp across BC and Washington. authors.elsevier.com/a/1kSP93QW8S...

The deep sea is not a void and we know this. It’s not a metabolically-inert black box. Further understanding deep sea carbon dynamics and how increased DOC+POC flux influences these communities will be critical. We need to know how much carbon actually stays, and at what cost to these ecosystems.
🌍 What are the risks of Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (mCDR)?
#mCDR technologies come with hidden risks:
◾ Impacts to #DeepSea biodiversity
◾ Acidification & oxygen loss
◾ Harm to fisheries & coastal economies
We are calling for responsible, equitable mCDR research: https://buff.ly/4fwvQ1P
