    Breeding "biofuel"-adapted species or planning their aquacultures for the fuel-hunger instead of investing in restoring natural habitats (and breeding those species used for nature conservation) is such a disgusting #humanHubris of the #anthropocene !

  6. We have #seedBanks to archive and protect our #naturalHeritage on land. But more and more #seaLife is endangered globally. Inside Australia's biobanks with their ocean species: theguardian.com/environment/20

    "“Less than 1% of historical #reefs remain,” Overton says. “They’re definitely one of the most imperilled marine ecosystems that we have here in Australia.” From #reef restoration to #kelp or #seagrass #conservation.

  11. Playing with some kelpy inspiration for today's #inkyDays drawing.

    Here's an in-progress shot.

  12. All-around very cool story and well worth the read. 💛

    #Nuns & #NativeWomen from the #indigenous #Shinnecook tribe in #NewYork have started a #kelp #farm to help remove #carbon & #nitrogen / #nitrates #pollution from their #ocean waters.

    After two years, there are #scallops, #clams, #SeaHorses, and other #MarineLife not seen in years, sheltering the kelp lines.

    It's not just an #environmental success story, but of #friendship, #allyship, & support as well. 💪

    "The planet’s other forest crisis

    The decline of California’s kelp forests since the marine heat wave of 2013-17 has seen only minor recovery despite heroic efforts at restoration carried out by scientists, fishermen, coastal tribes, volunteer divers and conservationists. Nor is the threat to kelp localized. Rather the loss, like the expansion of mega-wildfires on land from Los Angeles to Siberia and from Canada to Australia comes in response to an ever-warming world where 90% of the human-generated heat from the burning of fossil fuels is absorbed by the ocean.

    Kelp forests cover some 2.8 million square miles, more area than the Amazon rain forest, and generate some $500 billion a year in value. This includes edible marine species (including many species of kelp itself), thickeners and emulsifiers used in ice cream and cosmetics, and powerful storm and coastal erosion protection, according to a 2023 report in *Nature Communications*. Photosynthesizing kelp, a form of algae, also generates more oxygen (and sequesters more carbon dioxide) than does the Amazon basin. Along with coral reefs they constitute one of the most complex and productive — if little-known — ecosystems on the planet.

    (. . .)

    Historically, overfishing, loss of predators like sea otters, pollution and overharvesting have posed the main threat to kelp forests. Today, it’s marine heat waves. A 2026 study carried out by scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and 30 other institutions around the world reports the ocean absorbed more heat in 2025 than ever before. This in turn has set off a record number of marine heat waves that can increase regional water temperatures 5-10 degrees, enough to radically alter ocean conditions.

    Because of this warming, these large macroalgae are facing the biggest threat to their existence since they evolved more than 32 million years ago. If they disappear, what happens to the salmon, cod, abalone, whales and more than 1,000 other creatures dependent on kelp forests? What happens to us? Neither science nor society has figured that one out."

  20. "El Paso airport [airspace closure] may be due to test of new anti-drone laser" by @arstechnica / @sciguyspace - More on the snap-closure of El Paso airspace due to US #military anti-drone laser weapon testing at the Mexican border. Airline flights at El Paso Airport #KELP were delayed, diverted and/or cancelled. No reports of drones or aircraft being fired at. El Paso city and airport objected to the lack of warning. arstechnica.com/space/2026/02/ #drone #aviation #avgeek

  21. "Pentagon-FAA dispute over lasers to thwart cartel drones led to airspace closure" by @AssociatedPress - Airspace closure in El Paso, Texas (adjacent to Juarez CHH MX) this morning was reportedly a result of #military experiment with lasers to shoot down #crime #drone border incursions. Pentagon didn't wait to coordinate tests. FAA closed airspace for aircraft safety. Airline flights grounded at or diverted from El Paso Airport #KELP for hours. apnews.com/article/faa-el-paso #military #aviation #avgeek

  22. Studies have shown that thanks to this recovery, #kelp beds have increased and shoreline erosion has been reduced.

  23. Weald to Waves "stems from a dream to connect nature across larger landscapes. The idea is to get everyone from big landowners to small gardens involved in some way, from the woodlands of the High Weald to the restored kelp forests off the Sussex coast."

  24. A large, dried out knot of tangled kelp. I took this picture on a beach near La Jolla, CA, US about ten years ago.

  25. A cold day. A good one to remember the important things in life. Family. Friends. Health. ...and sometimes noods!

    Today's #UnsolicitedNoods include my usual #veggies (#broccoli, #kelp, #radishes, #bokchoy, #scallions) as well as TWO kinds of #TinnedFish (#scallops and #sardines). A very pretty bowl, if I do say so myself.
