SUMMARY:UK Maerl Forum 2025
DESCRIPTION:Background\n\n\n\nMaerl is the collective name for several species of unattached\, coralline red algae that can form extensive beds where conditions are favourable. Maerl beds support a large diversity of fauna and seaweeds and are classified as Habitats of Principal Importance (Priority Habitats) under the Natural Environment and Rural Communities (NERC) Act 2006. Maerl beds are considered to be an essential fish habitat and due to their fragility and very slow recovery times they are defined as an irreplaceable habitat by Natural England. Maerl beds are rare throughout their range. In England\, the large majority of maerl beds are within Cornwall. Maerl is designated within the Fal and Helford Special Area of Conservation and the Manacles Marine Conservation Zone. Recent evidence highlights a far greater extent of maerl beds on the South Cornish coast than was previously recognised\, these are largely unprotected by designations. In the past\, maerl in the Fal Estuary was seriously degraded by extractive activities\, from which it has not yet recovered. Maerl is still subject to a number of pressures. As an irreplaceable habitat\, there is a strong imperative to remove and reduce these pressures so that maerl in Cornwall can continue to provide a flow of ecosystem services and can begin its slow recovery. \n\n\n\nPurpose\n\n\n\nTo bring together academics\, marine managers\, advisors\, conservationists\, and investors to share knowledge of current research and conservation efforts for maerl and to explore developing a strategy for the conservation and management of maerl in Cornwall. The event aims to foster collaboration\, exchange of knowledge\, identify funding and build partnerships that will contribute to the creation of a maerl recovery action plan. Monitoring and review of progress against the action plan will be carried out through future meetings ofthe forum. \n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\nUniversity of Exeter\, Penryn Campus\, and online (hybrid). \n\n\n\nDate\n\n\n\n25th April 2025. \n\n\n\nStructure\n\n\n\nThe Maerl Forum will consist of a full day 9am – 5pm. \n\n\n\n\nA series of talks.\n\n\n\nFacilitated workshops on – key pressures to address\, priorities\, evidence gaps\, awareness raising\, potential actions.\n\n\n\nOptional Seasearch dive on maerl on Saturday 26th January for invited & trained Seasearch divers.\n\n\n\nTechnical report – a written account of proceedings with a UK and Cornwall Action Plan.\n\n\n\n\nOrganisation\n\n\n\nA Forum steering group\, with membership consisting of; \n\n\n\n\nAbigail Crosby\, Cornwall Council\n\n\n\nAngie Gall\, Natural England\n\n\n\nMatt Slater\, Cornwall Wildlife Trust\n\n\n\nVictoria Hobson\, University of Exeter\n\n\n\nJean-Luc Solandt\, Blue Marine Foundation.\n\n\n\nJason Hall-Spencer\, University of Plymouth\n\n\n\nTrudy Russell\, Natural England\n\n\n\n\nFunders\n\n\n\n\nUniversity of Exeter\n\n\n\nCornwall Council Natural England Nature Recovery Fund\n\n\n\nNature England\n\n\n\nLocal Investment in Nature Cornwall (LINC)\n\n\n\nFal & Helford Special Area of Conservation S106 Fund

SUMMARY:Slimewatch 2
DESCRIPTION:Come and join us as we explore the world of Deptford Creek algae! \n\n\n\nDuring the morning we will be exploring the Creek at the edge of our site to take samples of the mud surface and then studying them under high powered microscopes. \n\n\n\nWe expect to find a variety of algae and other organisms which we will record as part of our growing data bank. We’ll be considering questions such as: \n\n\n\n\nhow do these communities relate to the colour of the mud?\n\n\n\nwhat do we know and think about how these communities may change thoughout the day and through different seasons?\n\n\n\nhow does this new awareness of algae make you feel about it?\n\n\n\n\nSpend the morning exploring the mudbanks of the Creek and helping with valuable research into the communities of organisms that live there. As well\, we’ll also be hosting a craft activity to help participants express their creativity inspired by what you’ve explored and studied.  \n\n\n\nDue to the nature of the activities and equipment places are limited\, so book your free tickets now to join what will be a fascinating morning! \n\n\n\nThe Slimewatch project is a Creekside collaboration with filmmaker Susi Arnot who started Slimewatch at Saint Saviours Dock in 2021. \n\n\n\nFor more information see this link and this link!

SUMMARY:24th Annual Seaweed Symposium Seaweeds in a Changing World
DESCRIPTION:24th Annual Seaweed Symposium Seaweeds in a Changing World  \n\n\n\nThe 24th International Seaweed Symposium will be held for the first time in Australia. It will take place in Hobart\, Tasmania\, Australia’s most southern state\, from Sunday 19th to Friday 24th February 2023.  \n\n\n\nThe 24th ISS committee has chosen the theme ‘Seaweeds in a changing world’\, to focus on ongoing changes in seaweed aquaculture practices\, industrial processing\, future products and markets\, local and global environmental change\, and scientific advances that will change our understanding of how seaweeds function at all levels of organization. The symposium format will enable actual and virtual delegates and presenters to attend and interact\, and we expect a vibrant and exciting new style of conference.  The organizing committee feels the opportunity to have the Symposium also hosted online presents an opportunity for us to reach a broader audience than the traditional Symposium. As such\, we see 2023 as being a new and positive direction for the Symposium. With International travel restrictions to Australia lifted\, we hope as many of you as possible will be able to join us for the 24th ISS in Australia’s southern most state\, Tasmania. If you are not able to travel\, online attendance and participation will be available.  \n\n\n\nTravelling to Hobart for the ISS? Why not come to the International Temperate Reefs Symposium as well!  \n\n\n\nInterested in more information? https://iss2023.net/ Register Now!

You are invited to register for this unique course comprising: \n\n\n\nShort lectures from our SAMS experts and External speakers on: \n\n\n\nAlgal Biodiversity & TaxonomyNutritionPhotosynthesisMicroalgae Biotechnology: Opportunities and ChallengesMolecular Phycology and BioinformaticsLarge scale microalgal cultureMetabolomics\n\n\n\nPractical Demonstrations by our technical experts on: \n\n\n\nGrowth media preparationStrain IsolationSub-culturingEnumerationCryopreservationCCAP’s algal scale up facility (CCAP-ARIES)\n\n\n\nOpportunities for discussion\, questions and networking will be timetabled. \n\n\n\nPlease note that this course will focus on microalgae. CCAP’s host institute\, the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) has recently gained funding to open a Seaweed Academy\, which will offer training in macroalgae and the seaweed industry\, in collaboration with CCAP\, in the future. \n\n\n\nFeedback from the online Algaculture for Biotechnology course run in February 2021: “I found it very beneficial to gain exposure to different parts of algal research and how the research are driving development in the industry.” “I personally mostly enjoyed the mixture of talks from the field of research and the hands-on videos. It was a really good mixture. I could not decide which lecture was the most interesting\, the mixture was just really good!” \n\n\n\nThis training is being financially supported by the British Phycological Society (BPS) and Algae-UK\, however\, a fee of £50 to cover costs will be charged. \n\n\n\nSpaces will be limited\, so please apply by 14th of January 2022.

SUMMARY:70th Annual Meeting of the British Phycological Society
DESCRIPTION:Swansea University\, UK\n\n\n\nAs usual\, the annual meeting will be packed with the latest advances in phycological research and provide an outlet for research across the whole spectrum of algal research topics. Through the special theme of ‘Harnessing algal solutions towards a sustainable future’ we will explore blue carbon\, food systems\, and sustainable industrial applications. \n\n\n\nAs a first for the BPS annual meeting\, we’re pleased to be able to offer both in person and online attendance options\, which we hope will provide flexible\, sustainable\, and access-enhancing alternatives. On this website we hope you’ll find all you need to get excited\, registered\, and prepared for the meeting. We are looking forward to seeing you – in person or virtually  –  on the Welsh Riviera in January.  \n\n\n\nFor further information\, please view the conference website: https://www.bps-conf2022.org/
