New paper out: Crustose coralline algae can contribute more than corals to reef carbonate budgets. nature.com/articles/s4324… Thanks for leading an amazing collab Dr Christopher Cornwall SteeveComeau

Crustose coralline algae are important carbonate producers. Dr Christopher Cornwall Dr. Maggie Johnson Maggy Nugues Ben Harvey SteeveComeau @tacourtne Oscar Branson Emma Kennedy Jennie Mallela Claire Ross Jérémy Carlot Sophie McCoy Emma Ryan Vincent Saderne ow.ly/xNW450NFHyb

That would be my best bet! Lobophora.

Paine et al. show that seaweed farming (with Macrocystis) for CO2 sequestration (#OceanAfforestation) requires much more iron nutrients than available in the open ocean. Thus, offshore Ocean Afforestation would potentially require Ocean Iron Fertilization nature.com/articles/s4200…

Congratulations Ellie Paine Catriona Hurd! fantastic work!

This study indicates that calcified #CorallineAlgae is not as #calorically poor as previously thought, indicating that another mechanism must be responsible for the preference of fleshy macroalgae over coralline algae by many marine herbivores! bit.ly/meps_713_173 Isaak Haberman

First spawn of the summer goes to.. Acropora millepora! We got >2 million eggs last night 🤩 #coralspawning

This year we have placed tiles at 15 sites across Woppaburra sea Country. I'm interested to see whether the macro-algae dominated sites are receiving low inputs of coral larvae ? 🪸 Read more about the project below:

Delighted to share our new study uncovering the diversity of crustose coralline algae from the Great Barrier Reef #GBR, Coral Sea and Lord Howe Island. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

We're recruiting for lots of positions across all our sites! In health safety & environment, Government relations, Indigenous knowledge broker, operations, supply & procurement, finance, ecology & science. Check out the opportunities ▶️ bit.ly/AIMS_jobs

👏 Shoutout to an unsung coral reef architect - crustose coralline algae! This bubblegum pink crusty algae cements reefs, prevents fleshy algae growth, and offers vital habitat for baby corals! Now that's a #coralhero dlnr.hawaii.gov/holomua/crusto…

This is an extraordinary find. The blue carbon benefits are one thing, but the #biodiversity that a maerl bed this size must support is even more significant. I hope its future protection is assured. 'Cornwall researchers discover huge ancient seaweed bed' bbc.com/news/uk-englan…

Recordamos a la comunidad del Archipiélago que este fenómeno natural de las algas de zargazo, se registra cada año en las islas y el Caribe. Conoce detalles en la siguiente nota: acortar.link/SbHJow

🌊🪸 Our aquarists from Australian Institute of Marine Science have successfully induced #coralspawning "out-of-season" for 3 years in a row, culturing > 2.2million larvae. This research increases chances to study coral life cycles & enhance reef resilience. 🔗bit.ly/4bA2oWd

Our new paper just published in Coral Reefs compared the effectiveness of different material types and surface roughness of settlement tiles on promoting coral larval settlement and spat survivorship. 1/ doi.org/10.1007/s00338… Coral Reef Algae Lab Australian Institute of Marine Science SeaSim

Did you know that SeaSim's facility holds a whopping 3.5 million litres of seawater? That's enough to fill about 1.5 Olympic-sized swimming pools! Dive into the world of marine research with us at SeaSim. 🌊 #FunFactFriday #MarineScience
