That’s a wrap! 🎉
Three intense weeks of sampling across AMP Portofino, Noli, and the coast around Cecina 🌊 a rewarding field campaign wrapped up with the AMMIRARE mid-term conference.
Now back to the lab 🔬 Stay tuned for preliminary results!

What a journey! I’ve been working on #coastalresilience and #NbS, including the role of Posidonia oceanica banquettes in protecting Mediterranean beaches from #erosion
This short video by the Parc national de Port-Cros explains it really well. 🌊

Excellent talk at #17DSBS by @georgeimatsumoto.bsky.social outlining MBARI’s research internship! So often we see predatory internships & positions in conservation requiring skilled work for free because it’s ’good experience’. Great to see an institution leading the way in equitable internships! 👏🏼
