Almost a month ago I returned from an amazing field trip to the Isles of Scilly 🌊 Studying L. hyperborea at its southern UK range was a privilege. Big thanks to @hjncatherall.bsky.social and @pippajmoore.bsky.social for such a great experience! #KelpForests #MarineBiology #Fieldwork #UKScience

Nice to finally meet @bd-stew.bsky.social IRL at the World premiere of Oceans with David Attenborough where Bryce got credits on the film and I gave a little advice on kelp in the accompanying book.

Big thanks to the ICE for supporting work that bridges ecology and engineering—and to everyone pushing for greener coasts.

Feeling very grateful that our paper “Coastal greening of grey infrastructure: an update on the state of the art” has been awarded #Halcrow Prize by the Institution of Civil Engineers. 🌿🌊 This recognition means a lot to me & 51 brilliant coauthors. www.icevirtuallibrary.com/doi/full/10....

Hi BlueSky! I’m Rodrigo, a Chilean marine biologist doing my PhD in the UK with @pippajmoore.bsky.social @iapetusdtp.bsky.social @newcastleuni.bsky.social and @naturalengland.bsky.social. My research explores novel urchin barrens in the UK kelp forests — why they happen and how resilient they are 🌿🧪

A perfect Monday morning spent collecting kelp holdfasts for an MRes project looking at marine heatwaves 🤿🌊

Spot me working very hard…..

🌿 Taking to the stage now at #KelpSummit2025 is @pippajmoore.bsky.social from @newcastleuni.bsky.social presenting on the state of UK kelp and giving evidence of natural kelp recovery.

A productive day kelping with @newcastleuni.bsky.social MRes student Cris collecting kelp holdfasts to start her Marine Heatwave experiment - What a team!

Congrats to Dr Catherall who passed his viva with minor corrections. May have over celebrated last night

The decomposition dynamics of 3 important #kelp species in the Northeast Atlantic with focus on the loss of dissolved carbon. We found that DOC is released in large amounts initially, providing valuable data around the complex processes involved in #carbon cycling of kelps.

A trip to the field is a rare treat recently, but a lovely day in the field helping PhD students with testing kelp restoration techniques on exposed coasts and the effects of topography on kelp restoration success @robynmastinwynn.bsky.social @newcastleuni.bsky.social

Ocean extremes as a stress test for marine ecosystems and society - Nature Climate Change In 2023–2024, widespread marine heatwaves associated with record ocean temperatures impacted ocean processes, marine species, ecosystems and coastal communities, with economic consequences. Despite wa...

Summertime marine heatwaves (MHWs) in 2023/2024 were unprecedented and had wide-ranging biological, physical and societal impacts. Need to develop better response plans and adaptation/intervention approaches as MHWs intensify under climate change. New ms in Nat CC: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Keir Starmer told to use Brexit freedoms to shut down 'destructive' fishing Prime Minister is being urged to make good on his pre-election promise for a total ban on bottom trawling in the UK's marine protected areas.

🚨 Scientists are calling out UK govt for failing to protect our seas from bottom trawling! 20 top marine scientists are demanding a ban in protected areas. Ocean havens MUST be more that just lines on a map. 🌊

Exciting to see the outcomes of this exciting research published

I just checked the 100 most recent job ads on various marine biology Facebook groups and jobs boards.

2 involve SCUBA diving.

The overwhelming majority of marine biology jobs do not involve SCUBA diving at all.

Which means you can follow your dreams even if you medically can't SCUBA dive!
