🌊🌱 Hi, I’m migrating all my seagrass content and updates from Twitter to Bluesky!

I’ll be sharing everything seagrass here — from the latest research to conservation efforts and everything in between.

🌾💙 Let’s keep the conversation flowing in this new space. #Seagrass #MarineConservation

Finally, 1 ha. of sand now visible from the air! 1800 tons on site. Next step, planting 80,000 eelgrass shoots in June to flip the system from bare sand/macroalgae to seagrass in Sweden #eelgrass #SeagrassAwarenessMonth #zorrogroup #restorationecology @ProjectSeagrass

What a better thing to do on #WorldSeagrassDay than working on seagrass restoration in the field on a sunny day! Happy seagrass day! #zorrogroup #eelgrass #restoration #SeagrassAwarenessMonth

Is seagrass a microplastic sink? Another great study by @cbdelosantos on the effect of plant canopies at retaining microplastics using the hydraulic flume at Kristineberg #eelgrass #seagrass #microplastic #FlumeFriday @KristinebergC

Mapping eelgrass beds in the Swedish West coast using drones and drop-video camera. These surveys contribute to design a national monitoring program for eelgrass in Sweden. Great team in the field @Henke9309 and Matilda Rasmussen. #zorrogroup #eelgrass #drones #marineresearch

This year is special at our Marine Research Station with no visits from guest researchers, students or courses due to travel restrictions, but last night we got a special guest, comet #NEOWISE visiting Kristineberg! Happy summer to all. #Sweden #Lysekil

Severe shifts in eelgrass epifauna in the Swedish west coast. We found an 83% decline in mussel settlement, reduction in mesoherbivores and increase in filamentous algae between 1997-2018. @Rodri_Riera #zorrogroup Marine Pollution Bulletin. For details see

Planting 1 hectare of eelgrass in Kosterhavet National Park, Sweden. The bay was cover with eelgrass in the 80s but completely disappeared after 2008. Now, we hope to flip the system by planting 76,000 shoots. #zorrogroup @goteborgsuni #eelgrass @LansstyrelsenVG @ProjectSeagrass

Fun days at DHI Denmark working on ecosystem modelling to identify tipping points in coastal restoration. Great teamwork. #zorrogroup #eelgrass #ecologicalmodeling #restoration @SeaAndSociety

Always a relief to find the instruments after 3 months of deployment and see that are still alive. Now, how much is eelgrass attenuating storm wave events?? #seagrass #zorrogroup #coastalerosion @LstSkane @SeaAndSociety @ZosteraR @ProjectSeagrass
