Hi Lauren! Impressive work, congrats!! We want to explore it for macroalgae benthic systems. Do you have a publication about it or could you provide info about the method so we try to replicate it here? Thanks in advance!

Hey Matt! Can I be added? Thanks!!

Hi John, can I be added? Thanks in advance!!

Thank you Lars!
