Check out this new education pack on #seagrass!
Includes hands-on science and art activities 🎨💻
#scicomm
Created by the Scottish Seabird Centre, with some help from our PhD student @IssyKey
Our learning team have been busy creating a new Dive-In pack, all about #seagrass.
Seagrasses are extremely important to the #marineenvironment, providing safe habitats, storing carbon & playing a key role in tackling #climatechange.

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

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!

Happy #InternationalWomensDay!
#NatureBasedSolutions to societal challenges work with nature & the needs, values & knowledge of different sectors of society, particularly marginalized groups such as women.
We at NbSI also have robust representation! ♀

Our new study shows that Nordic seagrass meadows have a low methane emission that will likely not outweight their blue carbon sink capacity. Read more here: frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

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

We are delighted to release a series of short films at #COP26 showcasing UK #NatureBasedSolutions in action. The 3 documentaries explore working with #nature from rivers to coast, in cities and in the highlands of Scotland.
