A bit late in posting, but had an incredible experience at ITRS in Brest, France. I had the chance to present a poster, hear many amazing talks, and connect with so many passionate researchers. Feeling privileged to be part of this community. Already looking forward to the next one!

Queen bee tag update 🐝 We had 50–75% success relocating previously tagged juvenile Laminaria digitata. Some tags may have been obscured by holdfast growth or sediment. Rising tides made searches challenging. Plan B is underway for next month 🧐

Grateful for the opportunity to present at the MBA Postgraduate Conference 2025 in Hull!

Looking forward to the rest of the talks over the coming days.

Tagging juvenile kelp with queen bee tags 🐝 Spot them if you can 🔍 I'll check back next month to measure their growth to compare naturally occurring juveniles with my restoration efforts. Updates soon!

Spot me working very hard…..
