🎓💥 Huge congrats to Dr. Ries, Zorro’s freshest PhD! 🥳
She just nailed her defense on Clonality, Connectivity and Conservation of Eelgrass.🌿💚
What a stellar job — we’re so proud of you! @stefanieries.bsky.social

Nu är rapporten om ålgräsets historiska areella utbredning i Västerhavet ute - du hittar en länk till rapporten i artikeln nedan! 👏
Stora förluster av ålgräs i Västerhavet
Ålgräsängarna har försvunnit från många områden i Västerhavet sedan 1980-talet. Det visar en ny studie som forskare vid Göteborgs universitet har gjort på uppdrag av Havs- och vattenmyndigheten.

The past few days we’ve started new eelgrass planting experiments in the Koster national park in Sweden to see if we can overcome problems with crab damage 🌱🦀 We have also done a mark-recapture of crabs and the population numbers are astonishing 😳
