April 29, 2021 Pourroy Named To All-ACC Second Team
Tallahassee, FL – Florida State freshman Loris Pourroy has been named to the All-ACC Men’s Tennis Second Team by a vote of the league coaches. In his first full season at FSU, the Gap, France native led the team in overall wins, singles wins, doubles wins and doubles wins in ACC play. Pourroy was also tied for the team lead in ACC singles wins and wins versus nationally-ranked opponents.
“Loris continues to improve and this year he has shown he is one of the best in the ACC,” said FSU Head Coach Dwayne Hultquist. “He works hard on his game and enjoys the challenge of playing against the best.”
The Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise has been at the Saya de Malha Bank in the Indian Ocean to map and research the wildlife of the region with an international team of scientists. The Saya be Malha Bank is the world’s largest seagrass meadow.
With the help of binoculars and hydrophones, they’ve been looking for whales, sharks, seabirds and turtles – with a very slim prospect of also seeing a dugong.
Seagrass meadows
Seagrass meadows cover less than 0.2% of the world s seabed, but take up approximately 10% of the carbon buried in ocean sediment each year. On one hectare, seagrasses can store up to twice as much carbon as forests on land.
