I was able to attend the UK Seagrass Symposium this past week, and present my MSc dissertation and my work with @projectseagrass.bsky.social. It was incredible to be a part of putting this conference on and to get to see all the @sosbangor.bsky.social students who are working in seagrass!

Last month saw the launch of the Scottish Seagrass Collaborative!
The aim of the Collaborative is to connect people, share knowledge, and create opportunities for training, resources, and joint action that strengthen seagrass conservation efforts across Scotland.
