Hi Fronds! After almost 10 months into my PhD program and passing a big milestone, I'm finally back full time to continue @SPORA_program this very Summer in Baja, MX! But before taking off, I had to make some time to discover the underwater world of Monterey Bay. Stay tuned🌊
Our paper published today in @Ecology_Letters describes how animal behavior can drive some of the largest ecosystem changes observed to date by highlighting the important role of sea urchin behavior, not just the size of the population. news.ucsc.edu/2022/06/sea-ur…
This is what our promising results look like!
We're seeding the ocean with kelp 🔥 @spora_program Look at our #greengravel seeded in the white gravel ALREADY holding onto its surroundings in the rocky reef! THIS gives us HOPE. instagram.com/p/CfY0ct7K2T-/…

Thank you to the amazing artist @margodrawsrocks for helping us represent the complex life cycle of kelp in a simple and beautiful way! ¡Muchas gracias a @margodrawsrocks por ayudarnos a representar de manera bella y sencilla el complicado ciclo de vida de las macroalgas!
I'm excited to share a recent illustration of the kelp lifecycle in collaboration with @SPORA_program. It was a pleasure to work with you @PazLacavex and to learn more about how little kelp babies are made! I can't wait to see all the great work you do with SPORA 🌱🌱🌱
🎉
Scouting for potential #kelprestoration sites off #IslasTodosSantos #BajaCalifornia @mexcalscience from @UABC_oficial @FcmOcean with @juliolorda @Blueandplastic
Something is brewing.... @CervezaAguamala @mexcalscience
(2/3)Un banco de gametofitos puede representar la diferencia entre la pérdida y preservación de poblaciones de bosques de macroalgas. Nos puede ayudar a regresar poblaciones al medio natural así como apoyar a las poblaciones remanentes y volverlas a-prueba-del-futuro.
(3/3) A gametophyte banks can represent the difference between the loss or preservation of kelp forests populations. It can help to bring back kelp populations into the natural environment and to future-proof those remaining.
(1/3) 🇲🇽¿Para qué? / 🇺🇸 For what? 👇
Big thanks to Schmidt Marine @SMTPSF for the amazing trust and financial support given last year which allowed @SPORA_program to advance the science behind kelp reforestation off the coasts of Baja California in Mx @coastalscipol
Congratulations @PazLacavex! Great work on kelp restoration coming from the @SPORA_program and the rest of the #greengravel action group.
(🇲🇽/🇺🇲) Esta es una de dos técnicas que usamos para crear #gravaverde ! This is one of two techniques we use to create #greengravel !
Andrea Paz-Lacavex wants to make the restoration of kelp forest ecosystems scalable and accessible for fishing communities that depend on kelp forest species for their livelihoods. bit.ly/3OkgZud #seaweed #algae #restoration #kelp #ecosystems #fishing #launchpad #SPORA
Excited to learn how @GreenWaveOrg is catapulting ocean farming with their new hub! It's live!!
So You Wanna Start a Kelp Farm? On 4/19, we're thrilled to launch the first-ever Regenerative Ocean Farming Hub: 80+ how-to vids and courses, farm and hatchery designs, and farmer-to-farmer collaboration space for new & experienced farmers! Sign up: greenwave.org/hub
Thank you to @ucsc for featuring @SPORA_program's kelp restoration initiative at @BXLaunchPad and @StartupGrind! Take a look at the 3-min read!
UC Santa Cruz graduate student @PazLacavex leads SPORA, a kelp restoration project in Baja California, which is now among five national finalists in the 2022 Blackstone LaunchPad Pitch Competition. go.ucsc.edu/3EpPjje
(🇺🇸/🇲🇽) This is giant kelp #greengravel : tiny juvenile kelp settled on small rocks for one of our firsts kelp restoration pilots! #Gravaverde de sargazo gigante: pequeños juveniles de macroalgas asentados en roquitas como parte de uno de nuestros pilotos de restauración!
We're very excited to announce that..... Muy orgullosos de ser nominados nuevamente para competir como finalistas! Tendremos la oportunidad de presentar el trabajo @SPORA_program ante un panel de expertos en Silicon Valley @BXLaunchPad
Together with @SPORA_program, we couldn’t have been named a @BXLaunchPad pitch competition finalist without the critical support of my MS program @coastalscipol at @ucsc, our @BXLaunchPad campus director Andrea Carafa and so many others. bit.ly/3j6oW88
(🇺🇲) Their microscopic stage is the most delicate and we’ll only see successful reproduction if light, temperature and nutrient conditions are optimal. For this reason this stage is done in the lab.
(🇲🇽) La parte más delicada de su desarrollo es en el estado microscópico y solamente se logrará una reproducción exitosa si las condiciones ambientales de luz, temperatura y nutrientes son las adecuadas. Es por ello que esta fase la llevamos a cabo en laboratorio.
