New study: Scientific response to a cluster of shark bites at Cid Harbour in the Whitsundays, Queensland. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pa…

How should we respond to a cluster of shark bites? After a run of incidents in Cid Harbour 2018, our team was tasked with this question. The ecological and human context of these bites give clues for how we might avoid these incidents in the future doi.org/10.1002/pan3.1… James Cook Uni

Did you know some sharks 🦈 can travel thousands of miles/kms to complete their lifecycle, while other individuals of the same species are happy just staying put? We want to know why. #SharkWeek Dr Nicolas Lubitz James Cook Uni doi.org/10.1002/ece3.9…

Today is #WorldMangroveDay Let's work hard to understand and protect these incredible forests and the rich diversity of life that they support 🐟🌱🦜🐜🦈🦀🪱🦠🦋🦐🦎🐠

Breakthrough research by JCU scientists has solved the mystery of the catastrophic death of 40 million mangrove trees around the Gulf of Carpentaria in 2016 – and the discovery could help scientists predict, and possibly prevent, future events. bit.ly/3PEGxCx

1000s of photos from Aussie fishers, divers & snorkelers reveal the marine life shifting south as oceans warm theconversation.com/thousands-of-p… via The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand @GrettaPecl Curtis Champion Sue-Ann Watson Barrett William Wolfe James Cook Uni @CSTFA_JCU MarineOmics

A complete shutdown of cold water ocean upwelling off the coast of Peru is the sign of a strong impending El Niño... It was along this coast that the phrase was first coined by colonial Spanish fishermen. This is a huge anomaly.

2 weeks teaching Ecology of Coastal Ecosystems at the University of Vanuatu 🇻🇺 couldn’t have been more fun or rewarding! 🌴🐠 James Cook Uni

This week, National University of Vanuatu students presented pictorial conceptual models of their ‘home’ seascape. These students are strongly connected to their tropical coasts, and are confronting the challenges of ecosystem change James Cook Uni

Just finished teaching climate change ecology with @rishpillai to the first cohort of environmental science students at the National University of Vanuatu. Celebrated with laplap! Such a worthwhile James Cook Uni teaching partnership, off to a great start.

Here's a glimpse into our fish nursery monitoring program on the #GreatBarrierReef. I'm really proud of what we've achieved together so far.

Fish nurseries can come in all kinds of forms - from ephemeral pools to wandering megafauna. Here we explore the possibility that whale sharks are nurseries for golden trevally, and the biogeographical impact of this unique relationship 🐋🦈🍼🥇🐟

The @GBRMarinePark is home to an incredible 41 mangrove species and hybrids, accounting for 50% of mangrove diversity worldwide. Today we are celebrating #WorldMangroveDay! #GreatBarrierReef

Rangers pulled a 2.4 metre saltwater croc out of floodwaters in Ingham this morning. Definitely a first for me! @ChloeChomicki
