#WorldOceanDay was the perfect time to chat about the amazing Giant spider 🦀 that come together in the Bay at this time of the year on @Channel10AU. So thrilled my job allows me to raise awareness for & increase knowledge of the biodiversity of the #GreatSouthernReef!

Although the cheerleader crab (Lybia tessellata) looks like they're cheering someone on, they actually protect themselves by attaching sea anemones to both hands 🦀

Environmental assessments are only assessing projects individually ignoring the bigger picture. It's time for the #EPBC act to consider cumulative impacts to stop the death by a thousand cuts.

New study led by @manammichelle finds more than half of NSW’s forests and woodlands are gone and many forest-dependent species are in real trouble.

Elysia crispata, the lettuce sea slug! Not a nudibranch but a sacoglossan.

This sea slug does something called kleptoplasty, or chloroplast symbiosis. The chloroplasts from the algae they eat is sequestered into their digestive tract and parapodia, work overtime for them 💪

We know so little about spider crabs' lives, despite the fact that their gatherings have been fascinating the community for decades. We're enlisting the help of citizen scientists to help answer some burning questions.
Thank you @GSR_Australia for promoting our @Deakin research!

[Great Southern Reef Foundation @GSR_Australia]

Every winter, spider crabs gather in Port Phillip Bay, amassing in their tens of thousands to complete their moulting process. In our new video, Dr. @ECamprasse of #SpiderCrabWatch, explains how little we still know about these iconic animals.

@SarahMackAttack Amazing! Thanks for sharing

[Prue Francis @FrancisPrue]

Our recent paper, lead by @catiajafreitas, shows the impact of an ocean education resource complemented by teacher workshops can create enhanced ocean literacy outcomes. And the best part? 100 schools connected to Port Phillip Bay will receive this resource (v2) in term 3!

@SarahMackAttack @KirtOnthank @invertebabe nice! Give me a yell if you want a dive buddy, I might be available to go out - I do most week-ends. Stunning diving here and you could be lucky enough to be here during spider crab season even! 🦀🦀🦀

@SarahMackAttack @KirtOnthank @invertebabe Where I live in Melbourne, I often see the Southern bobtail (Euprymna tasmanica) in shallow waters (2-6 m) so I associate these with shallow waters :) stunning little creatures
