The decisions made on our watch have a magnified impact on everything that follows. It’s true that what we do in the next 10 years will shape the next 10,000 years. But in a magnified way. Because we’re at the edge of either having abundant life in the ocean or not.

Check out this fantastic paper written by the Deakin University #SeaEd team! Delighted to get a mention in there too. 😁 Great work Prue, Paul and Alecia! 📚🌊

Feeling very nostalgic reading this paper about the Marine and Aquaculture study tour I was lucky enough to attend in Japan, thanks to the New Colombo Plan Scholarships! 🇯🇵🌊🐟

Do the fish of the world a favour and come join Timothy Clark’s awesome lab! 🐟🌏🔥

So awesome 👏🏼Cátia Freitas

Cannot wait to get my hands on this fantastic book! #GreatSouthernReef 📚🌊🌿

Very happy to have been a part of this scientific paper about the #GreatSouthernReef. Written for, and reviewed by young minds. Check it out today!!

The ocean is in peril largely due to human actions. #OceanLiteracy for decisions in practice & policy from individual to global levels is needed. Madi O’Brien, Prue Francis, Cátia Freitas & Venzo studied the role of informal #MarineEducation in Australia doi.org/10.1016/j.marp…

Giant kelp, like other seaweeds of the #GreatSouthernReef , plays a pivotal role in supporting rich biodiversity. By moderating water flow, providing shade, and offering multi-level habitats, it underpins the ecosystem's diverse life. 🌊📷#GiantKelp #Biodiversity
