Great passel of posters from the lab at #ITRS2025 - from #kelp to #crusts to living Seawalls! @stonelivinglab.bsky.social @livingseawalls.bsky.social

Nice work Melba, Daniel, @lexiwilkes.bsky.social, and @crustisrmorris.bsky.social!
Microbes and living Seawalls from Melba! Early colonization of living Seawalls from Daniel! Lexi’s awesome poster on kelp mapping in New England. Crustis is a man with a plan.

Fieldwork Friday!👌
Our team has been busy these past couple weeks surveying the biodiversity and vertical zonation patterns on our oldest Living Seawall. Big thanks to Aliah Banchik who joined us out in the field on Wednesday and took some great photos for us!

We love seeing a new installation go up! We can't wait to see what marine community is supported on this new Living Seawall.

And they're just beautiful. I'm so excited to get another @livingseawalls.bsky.social on the map, and REALLY curious to see how they compare to the 1 yr installation in Plymouth in the UK. So, here's to some awesome new science, and a win-win for coastal protection and coastal ecology!
