The more you know about coral reefs the better you can take care of it. It was an honour to show and teach 100 UQ Alumni, the UQ News VC and UQ Science Dean at Heron Island Research Station and Heron Island RemoteSensing_UQ @UQ_sees Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority the birth place of CoralWatch and the Allen Coral Atlas, powered by ASU maps

Friends, what do Cath Lovelock and Tim Winton have in common? We love the Exmouth Gulf! We explored the mangroves together. The first of three episodes is on tonight on ABC. Enjoy!

Interested in mangrove zonation? I’ve compiled a global collection of species order diagrams across the intertidal Cath Lovelock 🌊🌳

I’m giving an online talk next week for World Ocean Day.

#plastics are forever! Great display at Heron Island Research Station about #microplastic It's not only fish that mistake microplastic for food, corals eat plastic too and will have a 20 times higher chance of getting coral disease. #reduce #recycle #repurpose Centre for Marine Science EMCRs UQ UQ Science

Even though Heron Island Research Station is located 70km from the mainland, we still find quite a lot of plastics on the beach. You can help, #reduce, #recycle, #repurpose and collect #3forthesea Centre for Marine Science EMCRs UQ

Shared my views on flash floods for this article today 🌧️🍃⛈️ Flash flooding: What causes it and how to respond in an emergency washingtonpost.com/weather/2023/w…

I hope you are as excited as we are! The #AusYCSEC team is pleased to announce that registration will open soon! Keep an eye on our socials for more details throughout the week and an exciting announcement if you plan to attend our central hub in Sydney this year!

I’ve had a blast presenting work done with Dylan Cowley Marc Koh, Dave Callaghan and Cath Lovelock at #mmm6 🌊🌴

Very excited to share that we successfully collected the world’s first venom sample from the world’s only freshwater sea snake! The Lake Taal Sea Snake (Hydrophis semperi). My Masters student, Marlan, will study its venom University of Santo Tomas here in the Philippines.

🥳 Very excited to share our most recent publication with Cath Lovelock Ananth Wuppukondur Tim Staples, Amelia Remmerswaal @UQ_CBCS Centre for Marine Science EMCRs UQ 🌊🌱 #Mangrove ghost forests provide opportunities for #seagrass frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

To model or not to model? Very excited to share our latest paper providing guidance on #hydrological #restoration of #coastalwetlands 🌊🌿 Cath Lovelock Ruth Reef 🌊 A/Prof Nathan Waltham Dr William Glamore Dan Friess @KerryleeRogers_ Steve Crooks doi.org/10.1016/j.scit…

Testing of mud by #UQ researchers has revealed up to 7000 tonnes of microplastics could be polluting Brisbane’s Moreton Bay. Elvis Dartey Okoffo (PhD) says the main plastics he found were polyethylene (PE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Read more: brnw.ch/21wIb9Z UQ Health

The first global mangrove assessment for Red List of Ecosystems shows over half of the world’s mangrove ecosystems are at risk of collapse. Learn why and what can be done 🧵

🐠Check out our latest paper! 🌊 Great to be involved in this #coastal and #marine #restoration research on a truly interdisciplinary team! #ecologicalengineering @UQ_CBCS

Congratulations Dr Elvis Okoffo on being named a QLD 2024 Young Tall Poppy! His research aims to provide insights into the distribution, abundance, & impacts of plastic pollution to develop effective strategies to mitigate the adverse effects on ecosystems & human health.
