Happy #WorldSeagrassDay

Went snorkelling on Wednesday in Miami to explore what Biscayne Bay had to offer. Not disappointed by green meadows with the metropolis backdrop!

Working on some new #seagrass impact imagery, which one is your favourite? 🧵

Loosely inspired by one of the favourite pictures I’ve ever taken. This one honestly just wanted to pose for photographs! #FoxOfTheDay

A submission to @chrisgpackham.bsky.social’s #12DaysofFoxmas, I painted this one for my grandmother this Christmas. Some things I like, some I don’t like, but first and only painting of 2024.

Global and Europe below. For reference, these are marine protected areas where x happens, so mapping globally is important to show spread.

Working to map a phenomenon globally, but having trouble making figures that are meaningful at the global level, while also having enough resolution at regional level.

What would you do to change this so that points don't look like polygons while keeping number of figures to a minimum?

So I was just renewing my @britishecolsoc.bsky.social membership and checking through the expertise categories.

I appreciate that all systems can’t be included, but if you’re gonna have peatland, reefs, mangroves, grasslands and forests in the list, at least put seagrass in there too! 🤷🏼‍♂️
