So happy to see the first paper from my MSc out in the world! This anemone went misidentified in a South African MPA for over 20 years. That has changed thanks to sea anemone expert @megdaly.bsky.social and marine invasion pro @tbrresearch.bsky.social. Read it here: doi.org/10.11646/zoo...

To see the effect of foundation species on water biogeochemistry at high tide, we bolt programmed water samplers into the rock and then run tubing lines into the benthos
A water sampler bolted into the rock next to a mussel bed. Tubing lines run from the sampler into the benthos of the mussel bed
