SUMMARY:"The Fate of Kelp and Why It Matters for Carbon in the Ocean” a talk by Pip Gallagher
DESCRIPTION:“The Fate of Kelp and Why It Matters for Carbon in the Ocean” a talk by Pip Gallagher \nFriday 21st August 2026\, 5.30 pm \nTickets available on Eventbrite: \nRESERVE TICKETS HERE \n“Kelps are renowned for their ability to sequestrate atmospheric carbon\, akin to rainforests on land. But\, what is the fate of kelp once broken away from its forest?  \n  \nMy dissertation project investigated how the decay of golden kelp is affected by varying environmental factors\, and how small epiphytes living on its tissues affect its degradation rate. This talk will explore how the rate of kelp decay in the sea can dictate the fate of the carbon that it has stored\, and what this may mean in the context of quantifying blue carbon. It will also highlight the importance of protecting our kelp forests\, not just for biodiversity preservation\, but also for economic resilience.” \nTickets are free for members of La Société Guernesiaise\, non-members are welcome to make a donation.  However\, should you choose to join now\, your membership will run through until the end of 2027…16-17 months. \nJoin here:  JOIN HERE \n
