Seagrasses are so special! Land plants are either annuals or perennials, but six seagrass species can follow either strategy ('facultative annual life cycles'). Thank you, Dutch waterworks, for providing system-scale experiments! doi.org/10.3390/plants…

Proud to be building regional capacity with our #Gladstone Ports Corporation partners. bit.ly/3LhSYoE #Research #Education #Training #Regions

Drumroll please...ISBW15 is going to Italy!!!

Huge thank you to Chris Patrick and Bo Lusk The Nature Conservancy for organising an extra curricular visit to Oyster VA to see the seagrass seed nursery and learn some tricks for scaling up at CMERC - Coastal Marine Ecosystems Research Centre you guys are doing amazing work!

Just a quick thanks to everyone who had anything to do with making ISBW14: Chesapeake Bay the smashing success that it was. I had a fantastic week and hope that you all did too. Safe travels home and see you in 2024, Brooke #isbw14

Seagrass nurseries, as essential as terrestrial nurseries. Our workshop @ISBW14 introduced the Global Seagrass Nursery Network and handbook. Thanks to all participants and supporters!@CQUniCMERC Craig Sherman Laura Govers Project Seagrass @earthelise Great Barrier Reef Foundation #GSNN

Fantastic to share seagrass restoration research and learn so much with a great crowd at @ISBW14 in Annapolis. Well done Liz Andrews, Manuja CQUniversity #CMERC , Lucy Coals yi mei Deakin University for great talks! #RestorationGeneration

The #seagrass conference has started, follow the conference on #isbw14

TONIGHT: A new report shows most Australian environments are 'poor' & in almost every category – except urban – deteriorating. What needs to happen to improve the state of the environment?

PLUS: Protestors in Perth rally over a plan to move 20 boys to an adult prison. #TheDrum

Vast expanses of seagrass (Zostera marina and introduced Zostera japonica) in BC, Canada. Providing C sequestration, nutrient cycling, habitat, and shoreline stabilization.

Watched the Queensland winter sun rise and set in the same north facing bay on Wild Duck Island. Amazing seagrass survey experience. Working on Koinmerburra Sea Country with a great team: the Koinjmal People, Ecosure and C2O consulting and Reef Ecologic.

After yesterday's news that @CQUni is ranked top 10 in the world for protecting & restoring life below water, I can't think of a better way to celebrate than by officially opening the Seagrow Konomie Island - a facility that will deliver important marine research @ Konomie Island

Very exciting news today from #THEunirankings . This is a testament to the amazing world-class research and engagement that our CMERC - Coastal Marine Ecosystems Research Centre team conducts. Amazing work @CQUni 👏
