  1. Mussel power: how an offshore shellfish farm is boosting marine life.

    Mussel farming provides a sustainable alternative protein source for human diets, because mussels filter feed on plankton and do not have to be fed wild-caught fish.

    Researchers have found that one offshore mussel farm is boosting marine biodiversity and regenerating the seabed.

  2. More new work in advance of #ArtAdventCalendar2024, my blue mussel print for #InverteFest2024 & repeat pattern I made with it. This year I made several patterns using my natural history prints.

    The blue mussel (Mytilus edulis), or common mussel, is a medium-sized edible marine bivalve mollusc in the family Mytilidae. They are aptly called common mussels and are found on temperate beaches worldwide.

  3. I’ve been playing with using some natural history prints to make repeat patterns. So for #InverteFest2024 I thought I would share some #invertebrate patterns like this one from my blue mussel #linocut.

  4. On #offshore #WindFarms, #seafood production may be a breeze: In addition to generating #CleanEnergy, sea locations with turbines could be used to grow #mussels, #oysters and #seaweed projects.research-and-innovati

    "The foods grown included #BlueMussels and various types of seaweed, sometimes in combination with the #restoration of #OysterBeds... The resulting yields were comparable to those in calmer nearshore waters and away from other infrastructure"
