Day 5 of @KELPER_Project field trip in Peru. Really nice site with extensive forests. Plus the fisherman/skipper cooked the most incredible fresh cerviche and fish/rice lunch. Topped off with lush sunset. Absolute scenes 🇵🇪 🌞 🌊

An amazing fieldwork day for ⁦@KELPER_Project⁩ - seabirds, sea lions, otters, sea urchin barrens and of course Eisenia kelp forests. 2 sites nailed. Also the best freshest seafood meal ever created by the great Peruvian fishermen who are assisting us 🇵🇪 🐟 🦭 🦦

Day 5 @KELPER_Project lunch update. Today the freshest #ceviche ever eaten - 30 mins from sea to plate. Huarmey fisherman Jaka deserves his own cooking channel - here he provides the best ceviche recipe - secret is making sure fish and hands are covered in lemon 🇵🇪🦀🌊🌱

Day 3 of @KELPER_Project - amazing to dive in the pacific and see the lush Eisenia kelp beds. Sweet surveys and data collected. Latitude only 10 deg South but water temp chilly 13 deg C. Uw viz 3 m and air temp 27deg. Beautiful but harsh coastline 💥 🌱 🌊 🌞 🐠 🍻

This paper shows that kelp harvesting in Chile alters the population structure of Lessonia trabeculata leading to smaller more juvenilised populations. Hopefully our experimental work will provide advise on how kelp can be more sustainably harvested @NERCscience @NewtonFund

Delighted to see the first paper from our @KELPER_Project out in @Mar_Biology. We show that harvesting intensity influences kelp population structure in Chile, with implications for management link.springer.com/article/10.100…
