All-around very cool story and well worth the read. 💛

#Nuns & #NativeWomen from the #indigenous #Shinnecook tribe in #NewYork have started a #kelp #farm to help remove #carbon & #nitrogen / #nitrates #pollution from their #ocean waters.

After two years, there are #scallops, #clams, #SeaHorses, and other #MarineLife not seen in years, sheltering the kelp lines.

It's not just an #environmental success story, but of #friendship, #allyship, & support as well. 💪

Scientists raise 300,000 surfclams offshore, proving open-ocean aquaculture can work

Rutgers researchers have made a discovery that could change the future of seafood farming in New Jersey. A study led by marine scientist Daphne Munroe has shown that Atlantic surfclams can be successfully farmed in the open ocean. Her research, published in the North American Journal of Aquaculture, proves that offshore aquaculture is not only possible but promising. This method could help meet the increasing demand for seafood while protecting wild clam populations.

@gnaddrig #Knowledge: No one can know everything. Before I write a text, I also have to read up on a lot of things. My tip: be very vigilant with #LLM texts, it's better to check twice.
And then don't google the claims, but rather look them up in Wikipedia or on scientifically sound websites. I like natural history museums, e.g., for such questions. In social media you can find also experts who can explain things really well, like here @dantheclamman for everything about #clams.

#Life on our planet was simply a "school project" by an alien elementary #school class, with the goal: "Now, just go ahead and build something with your #construction kit..."

The result:

#Insects 🪲
#Arachnids
#Reptiles 🦖
#Sea urchins
#Fish 🐟
#Clams
#Snails 🐌

The winners, by the way, were the impressive #dinosaurs - who would have guessed?

Everyone laughed at the #mammals: Haha, live-bearing, what's the point? That'll never catch on - Haha!
