#WorldOceanDay #Weareislanders

Great opportunity to help save Irish seagrasses...so vital in fight against climate change and in stopping biodiversity loss... @coastwatch_ire looking for volunteer citizen scientists #WorldEnvironmentDay @GraceOSllvn irishtimes.com/news/environme… via @IrishTimes

On #WorldOceansDay take a minute to think about our oceans... 🌊Oceans act as the largest carbon sink in the 🌎 🌊Oceans host 80% of life on the 🌍 🌊Oceans provide half of the 🌏's oxygen How we can all act to save our oceans 👇

On this #WorldOceansDay if you go to the shore, why not have a look to see if you can find #seagrass and report back to #Coastwatch if you find any.

Happy #WorldOceansDay !

Still on the subject of #herbariums, please watch the 2nd episode of @10Things_ToKnow (this time about #biodiversity) where @Colin_Kelleher talks about the @DBNherbarium. No mention of #algae or #seagrass but they have an impressive collection of both.

There are some impressive specimens in @DBNherbarium too. Some even dating as far back as the 1830s What Victorian-era seaweed pressings reveal about our changing seas theguardian.com/environment/20… #seaweed #herbarium #seas #Oceans #algae
