## Resource

This one’s for you if you want to know the difference between seagrass and seaweed, how crayweed reproduces, what reforestation looks like, or if you’re dreaming of becoming a marine scientist and just need a good role model.  Professor Adriana Verges has researched temperate ecosystems and coral reefs around the world. She leads a research program that looks into the impacts of climate change on seaweed forests and seagrass meadows and restoration approaches for their conservation. She also leads restoration projects Operation Crayweed and Operation Posidonia.  You can find Adriana at the University of NSW and Sydney Institute of Marine Science . You can find and contact me @seaweed.people.  Links to research, projects and stories touched on in this ep:  Operation Crayweed @thetrueoperationcrayweed Operation Posidonia @operationposidonia Western Australian seagrass meadow found to be the world’s largest plant  AlgaeBase: a global algal database of taxonomic, nomenclatural and distributional information Michael Guiry (phycologist) Melinda Coleman - kelp scientist and geneticist  Asparagopsis compounds reduce methane production in ruminants  Tropicalisation of temperate reefs: Implications for ecosystem functions and management actions (Adriana’s research) Restoring WA seaweed after marine heatwaves Sydney sewage stories  Recycled wastewater could ease pressures on Sydney’s drinking water  Project Restore (SIMS) This episode was recorded and made on Gadigal/Wangal land.
