Happy #WorldSeagrassDay Seagrassers!!!
The World Seagrass Conference is just around the corner.
15 Scientific Sessions with more than 300 presentations given by scientists from all over the World...and all this surrounded by the beautiful Gulf of Naples! Seagrasses rock!

Yesterday, I brought home my premature baby boy after 2 weeks in the hospital, yesterday we got a paper published on seafood traceability, yesterday it was announced that I was one of the 2024 Pew Marine Fellows. I am grateful for every moment & extremely excited for the future!

Happy #WorldSeagrassDay Europe!

Happy 2nd #WorldSeagrassDay ! let's keep the good work up all around the world!

So before you order your seedlings, here's a checklist to make sure your restoration efforts are successful:
