Unbelievably happy and proud to have my PhD printed and submitted for examination. Of seagrass and society explores seagrass social-ecological systems in the context of #BlueFood and will be defended on 2nd of December. This book symbolises so much more than a thesis. 1/7

#naturebasedsolutions can support both #climatechange adaptation & #biodiversity but more holistic ways of measuring ecosystem health outcomes of NbS are needed. Great to see this out! Congrats @IssyKey, Alison Smith @_BeTurner & @Naturebasedsols co-authors @DefraGovUK @weADAPT1

It takes a lot of talent to capture complex debates in a workshop and transform them in real time into accurate, informative and beautiful info-art. A gorgeous one by @cecilegirardin and @IssyKey on the future priorities of ecological research in the UK for @BritishEcolSoc
It was an honour to illustrate a two day brainstorming with brilliant ecologists on the future of ecological research in the uk ⁦@BritishEcolSoc⁩ with ⁦@IssyKey. Thank you ⁦@HazelNorman⁩ ⁦@ymalhi⁩ ⁦@ClaudeAGarcia⁩ ⁦⁦@JabouryGhazoul⁩

Carla Leone, from our undergraduate research group, has been out in the field getting muddy to help our PhD student, @IssyKey, collect data on the biodiversity of intertidal seagrass meadows in Scotland 🌱🪱🐌🦆🦢
The past two weeks assisting @IssyKey with her research on biodiversity supported by sea grass habitats in Scotland. Learning how some organisms often overlooked can play a critical role in supporting biodiversity and ecosystem functioning! @ProjectSeagrass @changing_oceans

My housemate just told me about her Glaswegian taxi driver who’s ‘had his eyes opened’ during #COP26, so has spent his time off this week helping plant seagrass meadows off the coast of Scotland and reading up on net zero vs zero carbon
