Key findings:
πŸ’‘ Carbon sedimentation is limited near a UK kelp-mussel farm.
πŸ’‘ Kelp-derived detritus contributed minimally as a potential carbon source.
πŸ’‘ eDNA identified red algae as a potentially dominant carbon source.
πŸ’‘ Limited climate change mitigation role of small-scale kelp farms.

This past week, I had the wonderful opportunity to present my PhD research as ✨Dr Canvin✨ for the first time at the 74th @bps-algae.bsky.social Winter Meeting back where it all began.

Full circle moment!

Thank you Dr Jessica Adams and team for organising another amazing BPS! πŸ‘©β€πŸ”¬πŸŒŠπŸŒ±πŸ§«
