The 10th international seagrass biology workshop was a success! Together with seagrass specialists from around the globe we enjoyed 3 days packed with talks & workshops in a resort town of Buzios in Brasil. See WSA’s blog by Sity for a nice overview of the highlights and of the speakers (gallery seagrass watch)

It also included a field trip to the seagrass (Halodole wrightii) meadows of  Ilha do Japonês, Cabo Frio. Here Dominik and I found some small green turtles above the seagrass bed and loads of sea hares swimming and mating.

Together with the other young seagrass punks we had a great conference! See then here in their natural habitat:

Many thanks to Tjeerd & Leon to provide funding for this great opportunity
