🌊 How do seafloor activities like bottom trawling affect the ocean’s carbon cycle—and climate policy?
🎧 In our latest #PolicyPod, we speak with Southampton’s @profbenthos.bsky.social & Prof. Susan Gourvenec about the NERC-funded C-Floor project.

1000 miles. Two wheels. One epic UK crossing. I’m cycling Land’s End to John O’ Groats. Donate what you can at: gofund.me/1ffb178eb
I am taking on the legendary "End to End"— cycling 1000 miles across the length of the UK from Land’s End to John o’ Groats. The furthest I have cycled before this year is about 10 miles. I’m self-funding the trip, so 100% of your donations go straight to a good cause. Thank you. Scan the QR code.
So far, 47 participants from 25 countries signed up to take part in our global bioturbation experiment across freshwater, terrestrial and marine ecosystems. No prior experience needed and we’ll send you a bioturbation kit - to join in, sign up here: www.thermalecologyalliance.org/projects
We are co-ordinating global bioturbation study across freshwater, terrestrial and marine ecosystems. We’ll send you everything you need, and experiment will be very simple. Sign up to be part of it by clicking on the bioturbation project here: www.thermalecologyalliance.org/projects.
