24.01.2022 How do you build a path along the waterfront when properties come right down to the water line? Simple - build a boardwalk around them. Here's how they solved this problem in Perth.

23.01.2022 Scientists estimate that Boston can expect a 9-inch rise in sea level by 2030 and a whopping 40-inch rise by 2070. Boston Under Water, a new series from WBUR 9...0.9 FM environmental reporting team, will look at how our city is thinking through some of the challenges that lie ahead. From constructing berms and wetlands to measuring stormwater flooding to thinking up new modes of transportation, Boston Under Water will probe into the needs, possible solutions, and questions around equity and effectiveness. Boston Under Water debuts Monday, June 14 on wbur.org with a special segment during WBUR’s Radio Boston from 3 to 4 p.m. To learn more, check out the link below! https://www.wbur.org//boston-under-water-wbur-climate-chan . . . #sealvelrise #WBUR #Boston #climatechange #climatecrisis #oceans

Click the link in our bio to see Ginger Zee's coverage from ABC News Live. Last week's installation was unique in that large, single seed oysterstoo large for marketwere added to #nyharbor. Swipe to the right to see how these farmed oysters, grown for food, compare to the enclosed oysters we install at our restoration reef sites. Then, swipe again, to check out the wild oyster sets that we're hoping to see more of on our journey to restore one billion oysters to New York Harbor! #FishyFriday See more

22.01.2022 Living Seawalls gets tropical! The team has successfully installed their most recent installation in Townsville as part of an international experiment, testing ...eco-engineering interventions in tropical and temperate areas. With sites now in place in both Townsville and Singapore, they'll be able to assess how Living Seawalls habitat panels perform in tropical areas compared to some of the temperate sites in Sydney. As always, many thanks to all of our collaborators who make this project happen: JCU: James Cook University, Australia (@AndySHoey @evamcclure, National University of Singapore(Peter Todd's @EMUL_NUS), funded by the Department of Industry Innovation and Science (@ScienceGovAu), and finally a special thanks to Townsville Port for supporting the project with installation sites. Check out this great report from 7NEWS Townsville for the full story!

14.01.2022 Today, as we wrap up #worldoceansweek, we are thrilled to roll out a New York Harbor Species ID Guide: bit.ly/BOP-species-ID)! This beautiful guide, funded by t...he NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, was designed to help teachers, students, and community scientists identify #atlanticmenhaden, #grassshrimp, #oystertoadfish, #seasponges and other incredible creatures that we are lucky enough to find living in the water just beyond our doorsteps. We can't wait to hear your thoughts on this new Billion Oyster Project resource! #STEMeducation #biodiversity #communityscience See more

11.01.2022 [NEWS] "Oceanography has the capacity to identify problems and offer solutions. As the world adapts to a new normal, ocean sciences will play an important role... in post-pandemic recovery efforts."

11.01.2022 California sea otters have rebounded after being almost hunted to extinction. However, it appears that limitations to their current range is keeping the species... stuck at a cap of around 3000 individuals. Reintroducing breeding populations to other locations may be an interesting solution. And the San Fransisco Bay could be a (surprising) option. https://www.scientificamerican.com//sea-otters-could-get-/
