1/2 🌿🐟=💥New paper alert! Just published my latest (royalsocietypublishing.org/d…) w/ the amazing @AllgeierLab! 🎉 Turns out, seagrass love fish pee. It's a goldmine of nutrients that boost their growth, even under fishing pressure & human nutrient influence.

Seagrass production around artificial reefs is resistant to human stressors

Abstract. Primary production underpins most ecosystem services, including carbon sequestration and fisheries. Artificial reefs (ARs) are widely used for fi

@ProfTerryHughes makes a good point. Our goal is not to recreate coral reefs. Our research primarily focuses on how they can be used for fisheries restoration. In this context all the juveniles are great. 1/n

What a crazy cool past couple of weeks! First conference as a PhD student and won the best poster prize with my work with @AllgeierLab. Then I presented my PhD plan with @biogeochemSCU and confirmed as a candidate. And covid to spice things up😅 Now, ready for the field season!

Not enough: Protecting algae-eating fish insufficient to save imperiled coral reefs, study concludes

How can we boost the resilience of the world's coral reefs, which are imperiled by multiple stresses including mass bleaching events linked to climate warming?

Model overview. Seagrass primary production is based on water column nutrients; seagrass biomass is sloughed to detrital biomass which is remineralized to water column nutrients. Mobile fish consume detrital biomass at a rate determined by their respiration (based on body mass and movement activity). If consumption requirements cannot be met, individuals die, adding their body nutrients to fish detrital biomass
