Part 2 of my Plymouth trip!

.

During my MA, my first project explored seagrass—a vital yet often overlooked marine ecosystem. 🌊 Back in 2023, there was significant attention on seagrass decline, but community action and awareness were still limited.

🌱 Seagrass meadows combat climate change by absorbing and storing vast amounts of carbon—up to 35 times more efficiently than rainforests of the same size. Despite covering only 0.2% of the ocean floor, seagrasses store 10% of the ocean’s carbon. (Source: Ocean Conservation Trust)

One project that influenced my research was Rosie Sherwood’s “The Seagrass Walk” (slide 3), exhibited in Plymouth. I couldn’t visit at the time, so experiencing it now has brought my own project full circle. It was also fascinating to see the seagrass labs at Plymouth aquarium to, the delicate process of growing such a plant for conservation efforts highlighted the need to conserve these biodiverse areas in situ, such as corals, chalk streams and marsh land. Before they disappear altogether.

.

The key research point for my project was inspired by a Cornish research study on the impact of chain moorings on seagrass, specifically how chain width affects seagrass scars. This visual impact led me to explore mark making as a medium.

I began by using secondhand chains to mimic the physical damage to seagrass beds. From there, I incorporated natural materials collected along the coastal path—twigs, seaweed, dried flowers, and grasses—to create custom tools for mark making, connecting the local environment back to the process.

To expand the idea, I developed a workshop prototype, inviting participants to make their own tools and experiment with ink. 🖌️ The hands-on experience fostered creativity and a tangible connection to the issue.

This project not only deepened my understanding of seagrass conservation but also ignited a passion for participatory, community-driven work. I look forward to developing more projects like this in the future!

Sustainable Coastal Management: Protecting Shores & Growing Markets 🌊🏝️ (2025-2034)

Sustainable coastal management strategies integrate nature-based solutions, adaptive engineering, and smart technologies to mitigate erosion, manage sea-level rise, and preserve marine ecosystems. With increasing climate change threats, innovative coastal management approaches are essential to ensure long-term environmental and economic sustainability.

To Request Sample Report : https://www.globalinsightservices.com/request-sample/?id=GIS32781 &utm_source=SnehaPatil&utm_medium=Article

Key strategies include living shorelines, mangrove restoration, and artificial reefs, which provide natural barriers against storm surges and coastal erosion while enhancing biodiversity. Hybrid coastal defenses, combining traditional infrastructure like seawalls with ecological solutions, improve resilience while minimizing habitat destruction.

Advanced technologies such as AI-driven coastal monitoring, satellite-based erosion mapping, and IoT-enabled flood detection enhance predictive modeling and early warning systems. Sustainable dredging practices and sediment management ensure the long-term stability of coastal zones. Additionally, offshore wind farms, tidal energy projects, and blue carbon sequestration integrate renewable energy with coastal sustainability.

Challenges such as coastal overdevelopment, habitat degradation, and policy limitations require strong governance, community engagement, and adaptive regulations. Future research focuses on biodegradable coastal barriers, coral reef restoration, and blockchain-enabled coastal resource management to enhance resilience.

By prioritizing ecosystem-based adaptation, resilient infrastructure, and data-driven coastal planning, sustainable coastal management can protect vulnerable shorelines while fostering economic and environmental balance

These mangrove forests in Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary serve an important role in this ecosystem. 

Their tangled roots help reduce erosion from storm surges, currents, and waves in addition to sequestering carbon and providing habitat for other species! (Photo: NOAA. Image description: A mangrove forest shown above and below the water line.)

...Getting out onto the beach & catching a glimpse of some fledges & chicks was just the cherry on top!

A little Festive #ShuckinAround with the @barnegatoyster crew! #HappyShuckmas! @gardenglamourbyduchessdesigns The Oyster Shucking 🦪 event @billl2720 & attended as our 1st as new members of the @littoralsociety 🌊 It felt a wee bit like family, as I recently attended the wonderful oyster event @iceculinary hosted by @michaelannrowe & @canadianoysterfestival_usa 🍁 Small world ~ this the team from @barnegatoyster are all in with master shucker @shuckerpaddy ~ using that signature yellow oyster knife.💛🔪 Great to meet you Scott Lennox ✨ We learned so much & had fun shucking & meeting new folks at the Sip & Shuck. I introduced them to the Luge ~ the delicious, boozy take I learned from the Canadians. 🥃 It was a hit ~ not surprisingly. 😉 The Littoral Society has recycled > 56K lbs of shells!! #shuckitdontchuckit Kudos to Kyle & Julie ~ #OperationOyster 🙌 Swipe & you can see Bill mastering the shuck in video too. I’m so proud ☺️🥰 Love this oyster tribe 🦪🙏 #oysters #oystercollective #sustainability #cleanwater #cleanwaterhealthybeaches #nature #merroir #eatlocal #sugarshackoysters #coastalconservation https://www.instagram.com/p/CmY-hFjuzxm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
