  1. #Seahorse #habitats 'healing' thanks to #EcoMoorings

    September 25, 2026

    "Scars caused to rare seahorse habitats by boat anchors off the #Dorset coast are starting to heal, thanks to the installation of new moorings.

    "In 2021, Studland Bay Marine Partnership began installing the first of dozens of eco-moorings in a bid to reverse damage to delicate #SeagrassMeadows.

    "A new scientific study has now provided the first evidence that eco-moorings can help restore #seagrass, with some scars shrinking by more than 90% over four years.

    "David Brown, chair of the partnership steering group, called the results 'incredibly exciting', adding: 'The impact has been beyond our expectations.'

    " #SeagrassHabitats store carbon, support #biodiversity and help protect coastlines from erosion, but are declining globally due to pollution, development, disturbance and #ClimateChange.

    "The research, conducted by Kira Dunn as part of her MSc in Marine Biology with Oceanography at the University of Southampton, analysed monitoring data collected since the first eco-moorings were installed."

  5. A Coastal Exposure Index For Ireland - Relative Hazard Exposure And The Protective Role Of Coastal Habitats

    [“The index complements site-specific flood and erosion modelling.”]
    H/T @kevin Walsh | PhD Researcher at University College Cork
    “In this paper [1st link above], [the authors] seek to answer the question “what is the relative distribution of exposure to coastal hazards around the Irish coast, and where can coastal habitats potentially reduce exposure?”
    The method [they] chose to achieve this was the Coastal Vulnerability Model (CVM), within the InVEST software suite. This involves combining the key physical and climatic variables which can show us where along the coast might be most adversely affected by extreme winds, powerful waves and surges, and sea level rise.
    It also reveals the potential protection provided by coastal habitats, such as dunes and saltmarsh, as well as populations and sites of cultural heritage located within zones deemed “Very High Exposure”.
    [They] tested variations to the model, including seeing how the results change when certain variables are left out, what happens if we add in other variables, and how ranking choices impact exposure distribution. The results show that these choices, especially the ranking methods, can have large impacts on hazard distribution and the overall interpretation of the results. However, [they] found that the CVM quintile based approach was most suitable for Ireland, as it reveals high exposure sites on the east coast, which tends to be overlooked when different methods are applied.
    [The H/T] also prepared an interactive map, where you can view the results in detail [2nd link above]
    There’s a lot of work ongoing in this space around Ireland, [they] hope this will be a valuable contribution towards sustainable management of our coastline…”
