Ever wondered why genetic diversity is important in corals and how scientists conduct genetic analyses? Check out this great blog post from @ablanchette12 !
Blog post alert! PhD candidate @ablanchette12 wrote a post for our restoration collaborators Reef Renewal Foundation Bonaire, describing the importance of genetic diversity and her work on assessing it in their #Acropora coral outplants via #microsatellite genotyping. Link ⬇️

Congrats on this impressive fellowship @JennMcHenry! So sad you're no longer officially my lab mate, but excited for all the super cool research you're doing!
The Rasster lab's very first hire back in 2016, @JennMcHenry, is now a postdoctoral fellow in the @BaumLab at @UVic! Jenn is studying the current and future mitigation potential of #kelp, #eelgrass, & #saltmarsh ecosystems in Canada (1/2)

So excited for this super cool #mariculture policy database @bess_ruff is building!
Navigating US #mariculture policy can be hard. New @RassterLab postdoc @bess_ruff is here to make it easy! Partnering with @SGLawCenter, Bess is building a database of coastal states’ mariculture policies–a one stop shop for info about permits, leases, regulations & more! (1/2)

In California, seafood producers have faced lower prices during the pandemic -- for some -- this compounds the effect of the trade war. Meanwhile, seafood consumption is increasing. See more of our preliminary results here: calseafood.net/2021/07/23/ca…

congressional briefing on the role of #marineaquaculture in climate resilience, featuring my amazing postdoc Dr. Rebecca Gentry @ventetmer . Check it out 👇 June 29th
As demand for healthy seafood rises in the U.S., domestic offshore #aquaculture provides a sustainable path to produce protein. Register for the @AmFisheriesSoc & @NOAAFisheries panel event to learn more about how #MarineAquaculture is a low-impact way to farm seafood.
