A new systemic review from @baumlab.bsky.social is offering a stark warning for how profoundly ocean life can be upended by heatwaves. The review synthesizes findings from 331 studies that documented the ecological impacts of the 2014-16 Pacific marine heatwave. theconversation.com/the-worlds-l...
The world’s longest marine heat wave upended ocean life across the Pacific
The multi-year heat wave nicknamed ‘The Blob’ impacted thousands of kilometres of marine ecosystems from Alaska to Baja California.

Could underwater kelp forests offer a natural climate solution?

New research from @baumlab.bsky.social & @jennmchenry.bsky.social offers a tentative yes, finding that Canadian kelp forests may export 40,000 - 400,000 metric tons of carbon to the deep ocean each year.

Check out our new study in #npjOceanSustainability taking critical first look at whether Canada's kelp forests can be a source of natural climate solutions.

We offers a blueprint for other countries looking to do the same.

Deeply disheartened to learn. We had just hosted @meadekrosby.bsky.social @uvic.ca last month & learned more about the impactful solutions-oriented work they did. This is devestating news and underscores the Trump administration's lack of understanding about climate change and communities' needs.
