What happens to the creatures that live in corals when their homes bleach and die? How long before these guys get eaten?

Today’s #ClimateREEF looked great on top! SE Sulawesi.

Your individual #ClimateAction matters. When people in your community see you making more sustainable choices like eating less red meat and using solar energy, they are more likely to take their own climate action.

Together, we can change our climate culture. #EarthDay

Good to see the FAO's sham livestock emissions report scrutinised. Unpopular as the truth may be, dietary change towards less/better meat has the potential to deliver *significant* GHG savings from the food system, as part of a wider packet of reform.

New paper out: first attempts at functional diversity on #softcorals and #Zoanthus /Palythoa. Massive congrats to the whole team and particularly for sticking with it. Great collab with Leeds U. #thisishowMISErolls Maria Beger link.springer.com/article/10.100…

The saddest part of my job is seeing the ecosystem I love and live to protect dying in front of my eyes… The fourth global coral bleaching event has been confirmed. calacademy.org/press/releases…

Terrifying graph showing how warm the oceans have been this year, compared to what we’re used to (grey lines). No wonder we’re seeing corals overheating, bleaching and dying right around the planet, from the Caribbean to the Maldives to Australia. #ClimateCrisis

To all my new colleagues and friends, please join us on May 2 at 6 pm at the Ship Inn in Brisbane for the AMSA SEQ AGM. People power sprinkled with genetic breadcrumbs will feature prominently in my talk!

Earlier this week NOAA declared the 4th global #coralbleaching event. Driven by #climatechange , corals around the world have been bleaching and dying over the past year, adding to the devastating losses of the 3rd such event less than a decade ago. We need #ClimateActionNow

🚨 4th MCBE in #Huvadhu , 🇲🇻🚨

#Coralbleaching is on full throttle in #Maldives . After 8 years of recovery from the 3rd Mass Coral Bleaching event, we're facing the 4th Mass Coral Bleaching Event in just 8 years. The resilience of these reefs is being tested once again.

Congratulations to Sicily Fiennes 🇵🇸 for winning best School of Biology talk at the Faculty of Biological Sciences PGR Symposium! Fascinating interdisciplinary perspective on Indonesian bird trade.

We can cannot and we should not try to sugar coat it - We are failing to protect coral reefs.There is no arguing the fact, we are failing!
