Great talk by @AberDLSAGB @HarryThatcher10 on his @ecostructure_ research on the movement of European lobster around scour defence associated with offshore wind farms - spoiler alert they like it

The entire Co Cork coast is to be assessed and mapped for coastal erosion - findings will inform future planning of coastal management, which is critical for the South-West coast which is predicted to face the largest climate change increase in erosion

Interested in Ecostructure’s tools resources for eco-engineering & biosecurity of coastal structures? @Arup @ArupUK produced a guide for practitioners to understand each, our main findings, and how they can be used in practice to support decision making.

I’m excited for our first #ReGenOurCoasts deployment of biodegradable structures! First time trialling this #restoration method in #mangrove in Australia. Hopefully this will help the little seeds and seedlings stay strong through tides and storms and grow into thriving mangroves

Mass mortalities washing up on beaches, lobsters and crabs dying in pots, lobster and crab eggs dissolving. Fair to say it’s been a concerning year along the Northeast coast. TODAY universities release their research findings, a thread 🧵1/8
