The sea urchin Paracentrotus seems to not like to graze on the invasive macroalga Rugulopteryx okamurae.

My first #ITRS! Very happy to have spent a fantistic week with colleagues and many friends full of macroalgae, sea urchins, and much more!!

This is phenomenal.
Sea surface temperatures are >5C above average to the west of the UK and around Iceland. It's the strongest area of anomalous warmth on the planet at the moment.
It's the warmest in recorded history for northwest Europe.

Kelp forests on the coast of Maine are in decline owing to rapid ocean warming and are being replaced by turf algae, which alter the ecosystem’s chemistry, hindering the recovery of kelp forests.

Last week, President Trump removed key protections from a marine protected area that's home to coral reefs, whales, sea turtles, and countless fish. My op-ed for @us.theconversation.com explains why that's bad and we should not do that.

Trump is stripping protections from marine protected areas – why that’s a problem for fishing’s future, and for whales, corals and other ocean life
America’s marine protected areas help fish populations thrive. Trump’s plan to open them to industrial fishing may ultimately harm the fishing industry itself.

If we know that double-blind peer review decreases bias, then shouldn’t it be used at all journals?
