Very happy for this one being out for #phycologyfriday!
Besides the observed non-indigenous #Pyropia species, the study highlights the need for #molecular methods for reliable #Porphyra identification

Opened in 1888, the #MBALibrary was originally a single room. The then Director put a note out in the local paper asking for donations and the library has continued growing ever since. We now have over 15,000 books and 4500 journal titles 📖

✨NEW PAPER!✨
How do shellfish and seaweed farms affect nutrient concentrations & plankton assemblages? 🦪🌱👩🌾🧑🔬🌊
Researchers from @ExeterMarine @thembauk & @PlymouthMarine found no direct impacts from a typical small-scale farm in SW UK
