The team happy to see some signs of post flood #seagrass returning in #Hervey Bay ⁦TropWATER⁩ ⁦James Cook Uni⁩

Who wants to do #seagrass #restoration? We have three PhD opportunities at JCU in collaboration with UWA to develop tropical seagrass restoration methods. Get your applications in now!

Our study shows whales, whale sharks and marine parks are all broadly exposed to commercial shipping effects across Australia Coastal and Marine Science University of Newcastle Uni Newcastle Research Macquarie University School of Natural Sciences Murdoch University UQ News Paper open access doi.org/10.1071/MF22050.

Pretty excited that we got an ARC grant to develop tropical #seagrass #restoration methods. Let’s get the grass to grow!! 🌱 Paul York Dr Abbi Scott Gary Kendrick @AlanaMGrech

What makes seagrasses so special? Seagrasses are the only flowering plants we find living in the ocean. Just like plants on land, they have flowers and seeds. This species is Enhalus acaroides and it has flowers that open at low tide and pollen that floats on the surface.

🌱Happy #WorldSeagrassDay everyone from the diverse and extensive seagrass meadows of the #GreatBarrierReef! 🌱 Our seagrasses here are important as habitat, feeding grounds and for people and culture too. Take some time to appreciate your local #seagrass meadow today!

How do you keep #rays from eating your #oysters? Use #electric deterrents not #magnets!

A day in the life of a seagrass volunteer in our lab! Thank you so much to Kardi and Melissa for helping with our seed sorting in the lab and making this video about their day. These samples were collected from Cairns and sieved to look for seagrass seeds.

How does coral nutrition change with depth? We used stable isotopes to examine this on the wonderful reefs of Vanuatu. Great to see this finally out for one of my favourite spots. Marine Ecology Group @UON_research Jane Williamson Tim Smith publish.csiro.au/MF/MF22103

Check out my latest research on how many viable #seagrass fragments are available for dispersal, what they look like, and what factors are producing them in the #GreatBarrierReef #JCU #TropWATER #marineecology tinyurl.com/576hb4m5

Fantastic resource for anyone wanting to know where the #seagrass is (or isn't !) in remote northern Australia aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/lo…

Went to Dijru Country on the weekend as part of the Girringun TUMRA Open Day to talk about #seagrass #dugong and #fish monitoring together with Girringun Ranger. It was a great day! Thanks for having us!

We’re working with Girringun, Minga Minga and Wulgurukaba Rangers to identify inshore fish nurseries in the central Great Barrier Reef 🐟 We’ve identified over 221 fish species so far, including barramundi, coral trout & great hammerhead shark Read more: tropwater.com/projects/monit…

Seagrass species respond differently to increasing levels of herbivory. Check out our new paper and one of my favourite projects esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

🚨This finally came out yesterday in Ecosphere! Here we describe how temperate seagrasses cope with herbivory impact (intensity and duration of the stress). ➡️ doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.7…

We compared the response (change in shoot density and canopy height) of three seagrass species with different growth strategies (opportunistic to persistent).
