Have you stabilised rubble? We need you! (Seeking out practitioners who’ve employed #rubble #stabilisation on damaged #coralreefs with success OR failure) Would love to hear from you, pretty plz comment below or DM, or share 🙏 #reefrestoration #coralrubble

How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences. doi.org/10.1371/journa… 1/9

Understanding how baby corals establish themselves and grow into adult corals is important if we want to help reefs recover devastating events such as mass bleaching and cyclones. Marine Gouezo + Christopher Doropoulos share new research: CSIRO @SCUonline theconversation.com/through-the-ma…

Open-science practices don't (all) require big investments of time and effort. This great post by @daxkellie and @westgatecology introduces small and achievable steps to improve R code reproducibility that can have a big impact ecoevocommunity.nature.com/posts/improvin…

Devastating. Extensive bleaching of Pocillopora sp. corals at #contadora #lasperlas #panama #easternpacific today Our team at Smithsonian Panama is closely monitoring the onset of this event #orftype3

What a sight: bleached & partially dead staghorn #coral in Key Largo spawning right on cue! So poignant to see these incredibly stressed corals still helping the population continue. 🥹🪸 Of course, the jury is out on whether their offspring will make it, but so far so good 🤞

What does the paper mean for the wider audience? "caution must be exercised when comparing results among studies that claim to be working on the same Acropora species, particularly if they come from different parts of the world" coralprojectphoenix.org/2023/08/04/new…

We are excited to be planning again - an ACRS student writing retreat. It will [tentatively] be held on beautiful Magnetic Island (Townsville, QLD) in late January 2024 for 4 days and 3 nights. Members please check your emails for more details and a link to the EOI survey!

A new #ScienceReview explores strategies codeveloped with Indigenous Australians to conserve Australia’s iconic marine ecosystems. scim.ag/3Kb

It has been a hot, HOT summer across the Caribbean 🌡️ and sustained bleaching stress is predicted to continue through the next month. Please continue to help us monitor #CoralBleaching by submitting your in-water observations to Coral Reef Watch: coralreefwatch.noaa.gov/satellite/rese…

The ACRS council will be saying a big ACR-YES in the upcoming referendum, to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the First Peoples of Australia, & allow them a say on issues impacting them. Australia has lived in the ‘No’ for too long. #yes23 #writeyes

Really stoked to finally share this preprint, 4 years in the making, that characterizes larval precompetency periods and settlement responses for 25 GBR coral species. SeaSim Australian Institute of Marine Science researchsquare.com/article/rs-338…

Here we examined the influence of density and adult presence on settlement and short term post-settlement survival of three broadcast spawning corals in Palau... Take a look and see how sometimes conspecifics can facilitate and other times inhibit!

Alongside spawning #coral SeaSim, we also spawn #CrownOfThornsStarfish! Each year the team raise >5 million larvae for their research. 📺 Dr K-le Gomez shows us how they check if the starfish are ♂️ or ♀️ and explains their research to answer “how old are you?”

In this NEW publication, CCMI's Dr Gretchen Goodbody-Gringley & partners from University of Haifa investigate how corals can change their diet & feeding habits under difft. conditions, which could provide resilience in the face of climate change. nature.com/articles/s4159… U.S. National Science Foundation @pinkfindiver

Precious cargo on board! Corals are on their way to SeaSim for #Spawnathon2024, set to spawn after the full moon on October 17th. Our expanded facility is prepared to foster coral spawning and support ongoing research. Stay tuned!🔬 #CoralSpawning

The corals have arrived at SeaSim! Our expert divers carefully selected corals showing they’re ready to spawn. They’re now at our facility, ready to spawn under controlled conditions, and will be safely returned to the reef afterward. The countdown to #Spawnathon2024 is on!
