Happy birthday to #botanist Isabella Aiona Abbott (1919-2010), renown algae expert, celebrated seaweed cook, devoted teacher & mentor, expert on Hawaiian ethnobotany, 1st Indigenous Hawaiian woman to earn a doctorate in science & the 1st woman or person of colour to become a full professor on Stanford’s biology faculty. She literally wrote the textbook on Californian seaweed & 🧵

Linocut portrait of Isabella Aiona Abbott in indigo on cream coloured paper. She’s facing forward at a table in a shirt and sweater vest with a sheet with algae samples on the table. In my print, she is surrounded by algae of the Pacific, all of which appeared in Abbott's research publications, including several species she discovered, or based on images of specimen she personally collected or whose traditional use as food she documented. The algae are in pinks, khaki green and rust.

I think I have my answer: @lossalvemos.bsky.social is not a protector of #algae and #insects I think it increases a lot the likelyhood that they are mentally-retarded-carnist

Climate change kills.

‘Like an underwater bushfire’: SA’s marine algal bloom is still killing almost everything in its path

theconversation.com/like-an-un

> The algal bloom in SA is a warning to coastal communities, as well as tourism, seafood and aquaculture industries. It’s a sign of what’s to come as the oceans warm.

certain parmelitic lichens, the usnea, develop a unique elasticity that allows them to resist the wind - as seen here on the summit ridge of Cap Sizun - and to grow cute tiny beards • certains lichens parmélies, les usnées, développent une élasticité singulière leur permettant de resister au vent - comme ici sur la crète sommitale du cap sizun - et se traduisant par des mini-barbes toutes cute. #lichen #fungi #algae #capsizun

Feeding the Bloom: The Role of CO₂, Nutrients, and Heat in Algal Proliferation

Incidences of Harmful Algal Blooms are becoming more frequent, their scale is growing & so are their impacts on food and water security.

Algal blooms act as a sink for atmospheric CO2, but they can also harm biodiversity and disrupt ecosystems and food chains in sea-food based economies.

Chlorella is a single-celled green high in chlorophyll. It's important bc it contains Growth Factor (CGF) which is thought to help “rejuvenate” the entire body: hair, skin, nails, immune system, etc. Read about it:

New study reveals how competition between is transforming the gulf of Maine
As the ocean warms across its temperate regions, forests are collapsing and turf algae species are taking over. This shift from dense canopies of tall kelp to low-lying mats of turf algae is driving biodiversity loss and altering the flow of energy and nutrients through reef .
