🌱 NEW PAPER 🌱
Quantifying sedimentary blue carbon in relation to canopy cover in seagrass meadows - Felgate et al., (2024)

This study also led to a #microplastics paper led by @Radford_Freya.
In that study we found substantial microplastics deposits despite the remote and uninhabited nature of the Atoll.
Seagrass canopy didn’t influence microplastic accumulation either.

And after all that… a huge thank you to my amazing team of co-authors on this one, especially the every patient and supportive @OceanRics and my partner in seagrass-y fieldwork crime, @Oceanic_Dave.
Only six years in the making…! 😅
Let’s do it again soon? 🙏 – at Scotland, United Kingdom
This week we’re in #Belize kicking off #SEAMANS_C, an @OurSharedOcean #capacitybuilding project led by Antonio Cano @UBBZE and @dr_aaron_lim @UCC.
We’ll be looking at #seagrass #habitatmapping and #bluecarbon 🌱 🗺️
Follow along for updates! 🤓

Our @UBERIBZ boat captain suggested a new study site w/ healthy #mangroves, great #seagrass visualisation for drone, wide enough channel for the #satellite resolution... it’s perfect!👌🏼
This is why local advice, co-planning, eyes on the ground BEFORE fieldwork is best practice. – at Oban, Scotland
