#Seagrass: the foundation flora of #SharkBay So privileged to be able to do #Marinescience for a living🌱😍

Glamour! Now you're just showing off #SharkBay

Two weeks of successful #seagrass research & long-term monitoring complete 🤓🌱 Good to see so many #Posidonia flowers too!

Just another day's sampling in the Kimberley... Awesome working with Balanggarra to explore their sea country and crocs are a natural part of this healthy environment. It's also why we don't go for a quick dip from the back of the patrol vessel... 😀🐊🐊

Hot off the press: an important study reveals how #dugongs move in #coralreef #lagoons to inform #Management! Did you know that dugongs could use the oceanic waters/#barrierreef to commute between bays? Murdoch University, #HBI James Cook Uni , Entropie - Tropical Marine Ecology Lab., Claire Garrigue

This weekend was our 26th consecutive year of Ports North #seagrass monitoring in Karumba. The seagrass here was impacted by flooding, but we are seeing signs of recovery with seagrasses growing from seeds (left📷) and dugongs feeding in the meadow (feeding trails in right📷).

There is only 2 weeks left to submit an abstract for #AMSA2021! We have a range of Symposia for you to submit to, from bio invasions to climate change. Join us in blazing a path forward to a sustainable and biodiverse future. Call for abstracts ends 1 Feb. amsa2021.amsa.asn.au/call-for-abstr…

Huge congratulations to samantha_tol who had her PhD thesis accepted with no changes!! Sam's research looked at the dispersal mechanisms of tropical #seagrasses and she found turtles and dugong are important in dispersing seagrasses, including via seeds in their poo! 🌱🐢💩🌱

A story of stability and recovery🌱 Be sure to check it out.

We used #drones, #satellites, 🛰️ and #field survey to count the number of sea cucumbers on Heron Reef, and see how much they pooped! 💩 link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Sad that most of the unglamorous, but vital, work in Science gets done by volunteers. Yet any info we learn to protect our vulnerable ecosystems = so many life-sustaining benefits. 800 of my PhD samples got done cos of this resilient lady Marta Sanchez Alarcon #seagrasssisters #gratitude

Five PhD’s, a seaturtle & a seadragon walk (swim?) into a (sand?) bar….

What am I? 🤔🤔 Please help Twitter-Land. These funny little things were found washed up on the shore of the Wilson Inlet by a resident (by the bucket load!). I’m stumped. Did it come from the Inlet? Did it wash in from the catchment? If you have any ideas, please share!

It’s International Day of Women and Girls in Science and we hosted a panel discussion with Simone Strydom Katherine Zdunic and Kelly Shepherd (she/her) about their careers and role models as #womeninscience and inspiring the next generation 🙌
