Scallop Farming: Ear-Hanging vs Lantern Nets

A recent study comparing scallop farming methods found that ear-hanging culture results in better growth outcomes than lantern net culture. Scallops grown using the ear-hanging method had slightly larger shell heights and up to 12% more adductor muscle weight. While ear-hanging scallops thrived in optimal temperatures between 50–59°F and grew faster, they were more vulnerable to colder winter temperatures compared to those in lantern nets. These findings suggest ear-hanging culture may be more advantageous for commercial growers seeking faster growth and improved meat yield under the right environmental conditions.

ecosystems provide numerous environmental benefits, including coastal protection, biodiversity conservation, and the preservation of local livelihoods.

We are on the brink of a new frontier with underwater cities designed by AI and built by autonomous robotics. But can these futuristic structures be sustainable in the ocean's fragile ecosystems? The technology exists, but the question remains: should we use it this way? Architects have a crucial responsibility to critically assess the ethical, environmental, and social implications of construction projects before proceeding. They must question the necessity of building, considering factors such as sustainability, cultural impact, and long-term consequences, rather than simply focusing on the technical ability to construct.

THE WORLD'S LARGEST ICEBERG A23A DRIFTS NEAR SOUTH GEORGIA #BBCNEWS

The colossal iceberg A23a, covering around 3,500 km²—double the size of Greater London—is drifting toward South Georgia, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic Ocean. Calved from Antarctica’s Filchner Ice Shelf in 1986, it remained grounded in the Weddell Sea for 30+ years before moving northward in 2020. Now, in January 2025, it lies just 300 km away from South Georgia, raising concerns for the island's thriving ecosystem. Home to millions of penguins, seals, and diverse marine life, South Georgia faces the potential threat of blocked feeding routes if the iceberg grounds on its continental shelf. Scientists also note potential ecological benefits, as nutrient-rich meltwater could fertilize plankton and enhance the marine food web. This event recalls the devastating 2004 grounding of iceberg A38, emphasizing the importance of ongoing monitoring to understand A23a’s environmental impact.

Part 2 of my Plymouth trip!

.

During my MA, my first project explored seagrass—a vital yet often overlooked marine ecosystem. 🌊 Back in 2023, there was significant attention on seagrass decline, but community action and awareness were still limited.

.

🌱 Seagrass meadows combat climate change by absorbing and storing vast amounts of carbon—up to 35 times more efficiently than rainforests of the same size. Despite covering only 0.2% of the ocean floor, seagrasses store 10% of the ocean’s carbon. (Source: Ocean Conservation Trust)

One project that influenced my research was Rosie Sherwood’s “The Seagrass Walk” (slide 3), exhibited in Plymouth. I couldn’t visit at the time, so experiencing it now has brought my own project full circle. It was also fascinating to see the seagrass labs at Plymouth aquarium to, the delicate process of growing such a plant for conservation efforts highlighted the need to conserve these biodiverse areas in situ, such as corals, chalk streams and marsh land. Before they disappear altogether.

.

The key research point for my project was inspired by a Cornish research study on the impact of chain moorings on seagrass, specifically how chain width affects seagrass scars. This visual impact led me to explore mark making as a medium.

I began by using secondhand chains to mimic the physical damage to seagrass beds. From there, I incorporated natural materials collected along the coastal path—twigs, seaweed, dried flowers, and grasses—to create custom tools for mark making, connecting the local environment back to the process.

To expand the idea, I developed a workshop prototype, inviting participants to make their own tools and experiment with ink. 🖌️ The hands-on experience fostered creativity and a tangible connection to the issue.

This project not only deepened my understanding of seagrass conservation but also ignited a passion for participatory, community-driven work. I look forward to developing more projects like this in the future!
