The Women Who Found Liberation in #Seaweed: How a Shared Love of #Algae got a Community of Women Hooked on Marine Science https://nautil.us/the-women-who-found-liberation-in-seaweed-540250/

"European algae mania began in the 1750s... Women were in on it from the beginning. But over time, sea #plants emerged as a unique locus of opportunity for female natural historians, who were barred from major scientific societies... Women who caught the #seaweeding bug tried to spread the word to other women... Soon, a kind of subculture sprouted."

Scientists are weeding coral reefs to help them recover from bleaching and death. A team of researchers and volunteers removed large algae from reefs near Yunbenun (Magnetic Island) in Australia using a " seaweeding technique”. This could improve the chances of coral survival and regeneration and restore the reef's beauty and biodiversity. #coral #seaweed #seaweeding https://theconversation.com/seaweed-is-taking-over-coral-reefs-but-theres-a-gardening-solution-sea-weeding-212460?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes
Seaweed is taking over coral reefs. But there's a gardening solution – sea-weeding

Many researchers are exploring high-tech ways to help reefs survive the climate crisis. But low-tech solutions like manually pulling out seaweed have a place too.
