🌊 Seaweed’s potential is huge! Not only is it a sustainable food source, but it also absorbs CO₂, supporting climate action and ocean health. 💚 What other seaweed benefits inspire you? 🌍 #bluecarbon #sustainability #climateaction nhm.ac.uk/discover/seaweed-f…

New research shows seaweed can hold 50 times more carbon than the atmosphere and has sequestered about 30% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Seaweed could also be used as a food source, and as animal feed to reduce methane emissions from livestock farming. bit.ly/4efXcJ4

One of the most exciting developments is the use of #macroalgae. Startups like @OceaniumLtd , @Macro_Oceans, and @BlueEvolution are leading the charge in developing seaweed biorefineries that can produce all sorts of cool stuff, from biofuels to bioplastics.

Have you heard of the 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 of the Victorian Era? Banned from “gentlemen scientist” clubs, curious women of the time found seaweed hunting interesting, accessible, and a gateway to community. Learn more: bit.ly/3K2KPSC #bluefoods

UAF grad student Muriel Dittrich used EPSCoR funds to travel to Kodiak and Haines/Klukwan. Dittrich is studying red seaweed and met with @BlueEvolution, the Chilkoot Indian Association and Chilkat Indian Village to learn about seaweed cultivation and hear thoughts and concerns.

Otters have made a remarkable recovery in recent years by coming back from near extinction. They are critical to supporting kelp forest restoration and aiding in the survival of over 1000 different species, who rely on kelp for shelter and nourishment. Photos by Jon McCormack

Very happy to see @NatGeo covering the sustainability of seaweed and seaweed farming. Hoping to see kelp and other seaweed farms develop and grow in Ireland into the future! #aquaculture #seaweed #seaweedfarming #imta #irishseaweed #sustainablefood

Many folks blame cows' backsides for methane, but 90 to 95% of cattle emissions are actually "coming out the other end in the form of planet-warming burps." @culturecheese magazine reports how #seaweed can eliminate 90%+ of these climate-harming belches. culturecheesemag.com/stories…

Learning to embrace Indigenous wisdom is part of what we do everyday, reminding ourselves that the creator gave us 2 ears and 1 mouth. We raise our hands to our partners in gratitude today and every day. 🙌🏽 youtu.be/t2zyeRbU4wE #IndigenousPeoplesDay #seaweed #weareseaweed

#Kelp forests grow along coastlines, and are among the planet’s most biodiverse #ecosystems. But they are disappearing due to warming oceans and other human impacts. Know some of the challenges of kelp management. @ucd_cmsi #evolution #environment news.mongabay.com/2022/07/sc…
