Earlier this week some of our members attended and presented at @OceanTracking 2024 Symposium! Kudos to everyone for their outstanding presentations and contributions!
Happy #WorldOceanDay2024! Today, we celebrate the beauty and importance of our oceans! Let's take a moment to appreciate them and commit to protecting them for future generations. Whether it's reducing plastic use, or participating in clean-up activities, every action counts🌊🐠

Lab members @KBoerder and Amy spent a week at @univmiami working with and learning about the new AquaX, created by an ecosystem modeler @Nuestracr. He has ~30k marine species distributions modeled globally (incl. mammals, fish, reptiles, cephalopods, bivalves, etc)!
Happy #worldseagrassday!

Last week, @surfriderdal led their first ever Dal-to-Sea cleanup in partnership with @patagonia Halifax. Led by
@hannahbsolway and @AmyIrvinee , the team collected 400lbs of garbage in just one hour! Such amazing work by a group of dedicated students!
Rain, shine, or snow, you can find @KBoerder sediment coring in #eelgrass beds under the sea ice for the #BlueCarbon project. Great work to everyone who braved the cold!
Although today is the last day of @IMPAC5Canada, the movement for ocean conservation will only keep growing! With ocean conservation passionates like @KBoerder and Vincenzo Corelli, who presented their work at IMPAC 5, we can reach 30 by 30!
