This week at the Swedish Biodiversity Symposium! 🌱
Johan Severinson shared insights on drifting Furcellaria mats replacing eelgrass and their genetic distinctness.
Lena Gipperth explored funding gaps in ecosystem restoration and innovative financial tools for eelgrass recovery
🎓💥 Huge congrats to Dr. Ries, Zorro’s freshest PhD! 🥳
She just nailed her defense on Clonality, Connectivity and Conservation of Eelgrass.🌿💚
What a stellar job — we’re so proud of you! @stefanieries.bsky.social
📘 New release! An updated eelgrass restoration handbook by ZORRO and the County Board of Västra Götaland. It includes lessons learned from restoration projects between 2016–2024, covering methods, site conditions, genetics, and practical guidelines.

Volunteers have been testing a new no-diving method for seagrass restoration- what a team! 💪🌱 Great to see such public enthusiasm. A joint effort by Kosterhavet National Park & the Zorro research group #Seagrass #Restoration

Marlene Jahnke from the zorrogroup is giving a talk on how genetic tools can be used to chose optimal donor meadows during seagrass restoration 🧬 🌱 🇸🇪 at #ESRW2025 in Arcachon 🇫🇷 #generationrestoration
@maru-bernal.bsky.social from the zorrogroup presenting her work at #ESRW2025 🌱🇸🇪 #generationrestoration
Nu är rapporten om ålgräsets historiska areella utbredning i Västerhavet ute - du hittar en länk till rapporten i artikeln nedan! 👏
Marlene Jahnke from the @zorrogroup.bsky.social gives a radio interview on #worldseagrassday2025 about the importance of eelgrass and what you can do to aid in their protection
Tomorrow march 1st we celebrate the #worldseagrassday2025 ! 🌱🇸🇪
Read the most recent publication from Marlene Jahnke and the @zorrogroup.bsky.social on the importance of genetic diversity in conservation of eelgrass meadows 🌱

Reclaiming an old harbour area! A truly unique opportunity to study natural recolonization of eelgrass after restoring the seabed. Also some positive news for eelgrass distribution on the west coast (article in Swedish) #eelgrass
Great! Could you please add us 🌱
The past few days we’ve started new eelgrass planting experiments in the Koster national park in Sweden to see if we can overcome problems with crab damage 🌱🦀 We have also done a mark-recapture of crabs and the population numbers are astonishing 😳
Come and check out @JohanSeverinson poster at 5 pm - spot P16 - right in front of the altar 🤌🇸🇪 @ISBW15_WSC24
Last talk from the @zorrogroup 🇸🇪🌱@Per_Mox talks about regime shifts and sand capping as a method for reducing turbidity - allowing eelgrass to survive and grow again! @ISBW15_WSC24
Last day of talks @ISBW15_WSC24 🌱 🇸🇪 🇮🇹 what an amazing gathering of seagrass researchers!
Great flash talk by @MruBernal and the perfect venue for talking about seagrass sex 😝 #ISBW15_WSC2024 in Napoli!
Great presentation by @MarleneJahnke3 during #ISBW15_WSC2024 in Napoli!
Today on #WorldOceanDay the
@zorrogroup is spreading knowledge about seagrasses, why it is important and threatened och what we can do to protect it 🌱🇸🇪

New exciting study in the cite centre of Malmö! The @zorrogroup will
Investigate natural recolonisation of eelgrass 🌱in a restored part of Malmö harbour. A truly unique opportunity to study the patterns and genetics of eelgrass rewilding. Read more:

Drone mapping of eelgrass in southern Sweden 🚁🌱🇸🇪
3,5 kg (!) of algae from 1 m2 of eelgrass meadow😮. The bottom is really packed with these furcellaria balls. It will be interesting to see their effect on the meadow 🤩
New experiment on the go, examining how bottom drifting macroalgae affect eelgrass meadows! 🌱🇸🇪 @zorrogroup
Today the @zorrogroup is interviewed on national radio @sverigesradio about how restoration of eelgrass can lead the recovery and increased diversity of fauna 🌱🌱🌱
Today we celebrate seagrass worldwide! Information is key for promoting conservation, so #letstalkseagrass! The @zorrogroup is spreading the word at #tjärnömarinelaboratory #WorldSeagrassDay
Seagrass is being celebrated at #tjärnömarinalaboratorium on #WorldSeagrassDay with seagrass cookies and poetry! /@zorrogroup
Glad sjögräs-världsdagen! Sjögräs är inte bara vackert utan utgör även en av kustens viktigaste ekosystem. Tyvärr hotas de på många platser av mänsklig påverkan. FN har därför gjort 1 mars till #worldseagrassday! Ha en gräsligt fin dag! /@zorrogroup
