Marine forests e.g. coral reefs, seaweed banks and seagrass meadows are biodiverse ecosystems, essential for a healthy ocean. However, they are disappearing at unprecedented rates. Restoreseas aims at improving marine forests' restoration in the Atlantic coasts. #marineforests

🪸🌡️ @restoreseas (#BiodivRestore) shows that deep-sea corals like Desmophyllum pertusum are sensitive to temperature and oxygen levels. Warmer, less oxygenated waters can lead to slower growth and reduced reef health.

🪸 Right now, the world is going through the largest coral bleaching event on record.
The impacts of climate change on our oceans – and our entire planet – cannot be ignored. See how you can act to help tackle the climate crisis at oceana.ly/3Tz19QK
Did you know Earth’s climate has always changed?
Studying these past natural climate cycles helps us understand human impacts and predict future environmental changes, guiding restoration efforts.
Paleoceanographer Dr. Lélia Matos @leliamatos @UAlg explains more.

How do we bring #marineforests restoration to schools in a landlocked country? 🌱
Check out this #scicomm project on wheels, our partners @NHM_Wien developed to bring the topic of #ocean #conservation to school classes.🚲

Vědci @ldf_mendelu Thomas Jung, Marília Horta Jung a Tamara Corcobado jsou zapojeni do @restoreseas mezinár. projektu @BiodiversaPlus Téma zájmu oomycety. Co o nich víme / dosud nevíme v souvislosti s vodními ekosystémy? ➡️ bit.ly/oomycety
Have you ever heard about this beautiful cold-water #coral? 🪸
By understanding what the optimal conditions for the corals' reproduction are, we can invest in creating more efficient and successful coral #restoration methods.

It’s International #LiteracyDay! What is #OceanLiteracy and why is it important?
Ocean Literacy means understanding of the ocean’s influence on us, and our influence on the ocean.

Did you know that the coral #microbiome might help coral restoration? 🪸
Manuela Quiroga Pérez @m_quiroga98, is comparing the microbiome of transplanted #corals with that of wild communities.

⚠️ New study reveals: 62% of EU MPAs offer low protection impacting #marinebiodiversity conservation. 📉Only 1.5% are strongly protected. Urgent changes needed to enhance MPA effectiveness across Europe.

It's always astonishing to witness the incredible biodiversity that lives in the deep. Just decades ago people thought it would be impossible for anything to live down there. 🙌🪼

This coral garden was observed during the #NazcaHighSeas expedition, where scientists have been cataloging biodiversity & oceanographic conditions along underwater seamount ranges, providing scientific data to inform potential marine protected areas in the high seas.

Sofie Peeters, a PhD student working at @ugent with @odclerck, talks more about it.
#marineforests @WaterJPI @BiodiversaPlus
Márcio Coelho @UAlg explains how he collaborates with local fishers for his work with #corals.
Working with local populations is crucial to ensure local support for #marinerestoration efforts, but it can also benefit research.

🪸 @restoreseas (#BiodivRestore) helped bring together decades of macroalgae data from Faial Island, revealing a treasure trove of 2,283 marine specimens. A boost to our knowledge of Azorean biodiversity & future conservation efforts!
