PFAS, or “forever chemicals,” are a group of human-made chemicals that are widespread, long-lasting, and in some cases, toxic. They can be found in common household products, like nonstick pans, carpets, cosmetics, and fast-food packaging. Researchers in the Chesapeake Bay are investigating how PFAS change as they move through the environment and where they end up.

I’m Lauren Alvaro, Sea Grant’s Knauss Fellow working as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act Engagement Specialist. I grew up in South Florida and loved snorkeling on coral reefs as a kid. 🤿🌊 My love for the ocean and science led me to major in marine science at Florida Gulf Coast University. After interning in a benthic ecology lab and dabbling in biogeochemistry at Dauphin Island Sea Lab, I went on to earn my master’s degree in marine science from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science at William and Mary. During grad school, I studied seagrass ecology and worked on seagrass restoration projects. My research investigated how shifts in dominant seagrass species affect animal communities in the lower Chesapeake Bay. I identified over 40,000 marine bugs and 2,000 fish for this research. 🔬🦐🐟 In my Knauss position, I engage with community partners to address issues related to marine debris, building a climate-ready workforce and other topics. I develop engagement strategies for grantees, create communication products and plan events like Sea Grant’s 2024 Marine Debris Symposium. Learn more about the upcoming symposium here: bit.ly/MD-Symposium I’m excited to continue this meaningful work throughout my fellowship year and am very thankful for this great experience. There is so much amazing work being done by Knauss Fellows this year.

Science 🤝 Community The residents of King Salmon, a coastal community in California, regularly experience flooding due to sea-level rise. A @CASeaGrant -funded study found that community members are already creating their own strategies to deal with the changes. These findings underline the importance of engaging with local communities for creating effective climate adaptation strategies, as it helps uncover valuable, often overlooked knowledge about local conditions and needs.

@scseagrant's Marine Debris: From Micro to Macro educator workshop is devoted to exploring marine debris, specifically plastics and microplastics. Through hands-on activities, field-based excursions, presentations, and group discussions, participants will explore topics such as the physical properties of plastics, the formation and impacts of microplastics, research on current and emerging issues, and stewardship opportunities. Participants will have the chance to assist in the creation of a brand-new marine debris education kit and curriculum that will be piloted during the 2024-2025 school year. This two-night, three-day workshop is offered free of charge to any K-12 formal or nonformal educator. Most meals and lodging will be provided free of charge at the cottages and dorms at Hobcaw Barony in Georgetown, S.C. Participants will be eligible for 15 renewal credits. All workshop slots have currently been filled, but a waitlist is available. Please reach out to E.V.

The Guardarenas (Sandwatch) Project, supported by Puerto Rico Sea Grant, raises awareness for conservation and the sustainable use of beaches by involving students, community leaders and teachers in direct monitoring of these public spaces. 🏝️🐚 Leaving behind their traditional classrooms, participants collect scientific data about water quality, beach profiles, sand composition, and characteristics of waves and currents. The information gathered contributes to their understanding of beach morphology and can be used for formulation of public policy and decision-making.

🐢 Texas is home to 5 species of threatened and endangered sea turtles. Knowing how these turtles are distributed helps scientists to manage and protect them. @texasseagrant and partners developed a mobile app, iSeaTurtle, to allow community members across the state to be a part of turtle science and conservation efforts! With the app, you can report sea turtle sightings directly from your smartphone, providing valuable data for researchers, like habitat use and population density. Report your first sighting: https://bit.ly/iSeaTurtle #SeaGrant #SGParticipatorySci #Community #Texas #Turtle #SeaTurtle #App #CommunityScience #CitizenScience #Endangered #Science #Management #Conservation #CitSciMonth

This #FishyFriday, take a look at Sea Grant’s work in sustainable aquaculture! Sea Grant’s investment in aquaculture focuses on research and technology transfer, often through one-on-one interactions with extension agents, to support and expand America’s aquaculture industry. From 2018 to 2022, Sea Grant supported a yearly average of 1,147 jobs and 572 businesses in aquaculture. Learn more about Sea Grant projects and their impacts: bit.ly/SG-AQ-Apr24 Images from Sea Grant’s National Aquaculture Portfolio Spring 2024 document. #SeaGrant #Sustainable #Seafood #Aquaculture #Fish #Mariculture #Extension #Outreach #Research #Jobs #Businesses #Industry

Hurricanes can generate catastrophic damages, piling wreckage along shorelines and waterways. When Hurricane Michael swept through the Florida Panhandle in 2018, it left behind 1,370 derelict vessels. These derelict vessels create hazards for other boaters, prevent navigational access, entangle and trap wildlife, and damage important seagrass and oyster reef habitats. To enhance Florida waterways, Florida Sea Grant is helping coastal communities that were devastated by Hurricanes Michael and Ian remove derelict vessels and other marine debris. Learn more about derelict vessels and removal programs here: https://bit.ly/NoBoatLeftBehind #SeaGrant #Florida #MarineDebris #DerelictVessels #Hurricane #ClimateChange #CoastalHazards #DisasterPreparation #CoastalCommunities #Restoration #WhySeaGrant
