🎓💥 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

Volunteers have been testing a new no-diving method for seagrass restoration- what a team! 💪🌱 Great to see such public enthusiasm. A joint effort by Kosterhavet National Park & the Zorro research group #Seagrass #Restoration

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 😳

3,5 kg (!) of algae from 1 m2 of eelgrass meadow😮. The bottom is really packed with these furcellaria balls. It will be interesting to see their effect on the meadow 🤩

Successful sand-capping and #eelgrass restoration in NW #Sweden. Last spring we placed 8000 ton of sand on 1 ha seafloor to reduce sediment resuspension, and planted 80 000 shoots of eelgrass. Surveys last weeks showed great survival and growth with almost 900 000 shoots!

We aim to bring #seagrass monitoring to a new level: in collaboration with local managers we combine the use of #drones to map the areal extent of eelgrass, with genetic sampling to establish a #conservation #genetic baseline along the #Swedish NW coast. Stay tuned for more!

Promising results for eelgrass restoration using sand-capping!
This summer, 80,000 eelgrass shoots were planted on 1 ha of seafloor, which had been sand-capped to reduce sediment resuspension. Since then the number of shoots have doubled🌱🇸🇪
