Happy to announce our ❗recent OA publication❗ in @EcographyJourna, selected as Editor’s Choice! During our #historicalSWkelps surveys, we revisited 34 kelp forest sites to assess climate-driven shifts in kelp structure and distribution. vist.ly/55kj2

Resurveys of 34 sites along the coast of SW England combined historical data (1941–2016; 5–82 years prior) with contemporary surveys (2021–2023), enabling a robust comparisons of kelp forest change across a biogeographic transition zone in the NE Atlantic.

A whole year of record breaking ocean temperatures. This warmth has significant effects on ocean ecosystems. A large fraction of the world’s human population rely on protein from the ocean to live. Disruption to life in the ocean does affect us all. bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir…
