These are #dinoflagellates (literally 'whipping tails'). They are very diverse #phytoplankton, some photosynthesising, some consuming other organisms, and some a bit of both. Some examples to follow :) #marinebiology #sciart #plankton #oceanart #sciencecommunication #scicomm

Happy #PortfolioDay, I make #illustrations of #marinecreatures , #oceanlife and #marinebiology in general and am trying to develop my #sciencecommunication, #sciart and #scientificillustration skills.

Once an urchin barren replaces a kelp forest, it's almost impossible for the kelp forest to regrow.

Let the young generation lead, my son and daughter explain why #oysters are awesome. We had a blast at the @UoPScience stall @VictoriousFest

All systems go today for our oyster filtration experiments @jcu @NESPmarinehub @ShellfishReefs

Success! Thanks @CinematicScience for video of Great Hammerhead #shark tagged by Hub team @JCU @AIMS_gov_au @IMOSAnimalTrack #saveourspecies

I found the @ShellfishReefs restoration vessel we 'need' for Australia. Conveyer belt to deploy shell and spuds to lock the boat in place

@BenDiggles sharing the #oysterlove , Diggles has some interesting findings around oyster recruitment.

We are going big with our next @ShellfishReefs habitat value field experiment @jcu with @BenDiggles @BeardedBiology #oysterlove #TNC

Checked out a 2-meter high oyster midden in Ballina today, it went for 100s of meters. There must have been huge oyster feasts in the past

The team is out to download detections from our VEMCO VR4 modems off Sydney. Choppy seas won't stop us! @vemcoteam @IMOS_AUS @SydneyMarine
