The Connolly Lab

Marine research using automated monitoring of coastal fisheries, blue carbon, and ecosystem resilience.

Automation has disrupted other industries🚨 It’s coming late to #environmentalscience but now it’s here:

We can promote #openscience & democratise monitoring of coastal wetland health to ensure effective conservation and restoration actions!

Delighted to share our new study uncovering the diversity of crustose coralline algae from the Great Barrier Reef #GBR, Coral Sea and Lord Howe Island. https://t.co/fFfBHA9TAU

Wonderful talk, thanks @AlelimonHA and such brilliant imagery

[Alejandra Hernández @AlelimonHA]

Thanks to Prof. Rod Connolly, the Coastal and Marine Research Centre (@Griffith_Uni), & @GriffithARI for the invitation to talk about my research on endangered coral species & mesophotic coral ecosystems. A very engaged audience and lots of follow-up conversations -I had a blast!

Amazing to have a multi-stressor field experiment involving the whole seagrass community, congratulations @A0strowski

[Michael Sievers @SieversSci]

In the THIRD paper from her PhD, @A0strowski uses structural equation models to identify causal effects of dynamic #multiplestressors on #seagrass (1/2). https://t.co/3JMV0yeG3Y @Griffith_SciEnv @GriffithARI w @ConnollyLab @bluecology

@BhadPunyasloke @Griffith_Uni @AusHCIndia @AusCGKolkata @ITMERG1 Yes great to see @BhadPunyasloke and @Anweghosh and identify the many synergies in tech advances for mangroves as India-Australia partnership

[Jaramar Villarreal-Rosas, PhD @JaramarV]

📢New paper and last of the PhD!!! Read about how we can protect people from the current and future impacts of climate change through Nature-based solutions ➡️ https://t.co/b5qwdygeCh @HugePossum @j_r_rhodes @LauraSonter @NatCapProject @PaN_BES

We have transplanted 18.750 new eelgrass shoots covering 1 ha last week in Gamborg Fjord, Denmark.
Fingers crossed that they will thrive like we have seen in multiple other Danish fjords.

The greater Gladstone region is such a special part of the world. Another trip done and dusted and another tropical oyster reef found (growing on soft sediment, not rock!).

Nice paper from Ben Scoulding and colleagues in the US, UK and Australia testing a combined acoustics & optics survey method for snapper abundance in a closed area https://t.co/dBHVVhpojo

[Jaramar Villarreal-Rosas, PhD @JaramarV]

The students leading a focus group session with local village representatives to identify potential mangrove restoration sites

[The Connolly Lab @ConnollyLab]

@Seagrass_flower Congratulations @Seagrass_flower great to see the thesis submitted, fantastic

[Punyasloke Bhadury @BhadPunyasloke]

@AusHCIndia @ShombiSharp @SandeepUnnithan @IIC_Delhi Great to know about this! Our team @Anweghosh @ITMERG1 & @SieversSci @ConnollyLab at @GriffithARI have joined hands to learn sustainability and best practices for conservation of ocean biodiversity in India and Australia @AusCGKolkata

[Marina Richardson 🦪 @Marina_Annette1]

Check out the latest episode of The Big Fish on ABC to hear more about the great work being done by @ozfishunlimited in collaboration with @Griffith_Uni to monitor restored shellfish reefs in Moreton Bay.

Urchins and morays and spat, oh my!

A bit emotional after the amazing press around oyster reef restoration this week while finishing up my last field trip at Noosa for my PhD. Phenomenal recruitment after only 4 months with some great results to come 🥳

[Australian Rivers Institute @GriffithARI]

Don't miss next weeks ARI Seminar co-hosted by the #Coastal & #Marine Research Centre. Assoc Prof Chris Brown @bluecology will use his teams work to outline steps to translate good science into practical impacts on the management of #ocean ecosystems @GU_Sciences @Griffith_SciEnv

[Caitie Kuempel @cdkuempel]

Excess sediment from land use change and unsustainable development is one of the greatest abatable threats facing freshwater and marine ecosystems, but is missing from global priorities. Read more here: https://t.co/a9DM9bNlIh

Day 2: more @abclandline filming, and so inspired by how hard-working these students are. Absolutely smashed it out of the park and completed all subtidal ROBs - on to the intertidal ones tomorrow! @ozfishunlimited @Griffith_SciEnv

[Caitie Kuempel @cdkuempel]

Did you know eating salmon has an environmental footprint on the land, and chicken has one in the sea? Our new research mapped disturbance, nutrients, freshwater use and greenhouse gas emissions of chicken and salmon production. https://t.co/DGV7TCeDlu

And we're off! Time to find some sea cucumbers on the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef. Forecast is at least looking decent. @MEG_MQ @MQSciEng @GBRFoundation
