This is what #seagrass restoration at scale looks like! We’re out on the boat today - ready to deploy a few thousand sandbags to facilitate seagrass seedling recruitment along the coast just north of Adelaide 🌱 🌊

Australia has highest per capita CO2 emissions from coal in G20, analysis finds https://t.co/cQslstqaVU

[Heather Welch @Heather_M_Welch]

Our new paper in @NatureComms uses a multi-species, multi-heatwave framework to model MHW impacts on marine predators.

We find a surprising diversity of impacts across species and MHWs, signaling a need for ecosystem-based investigations of MHW impacts.

Protecting #mangroves will help replenish the seas! 🐠🦈🦐🦀🌳

They are important breeding grounds and nurseries for many types of fish, shark, crocodile, shrimp & crabs. They also ensure food security for local #communities and provide livelihoods for coastal populations

Fantastic resource for anyone wanting to know where the #seagrass is (or isn't !) in remote northern Australia https://t.co/DAtN2aXLUw

A lot of great blue carbon management and policy is happening in Small Island States, and there’s potential for a lot more! https://t.co/gRvMWGVRbF

Great lead @_jake_robinson and another stellar collaborative effort 🌳🧬🌄

Just in time for @SERestoration #SER2023 in Darwin

🚨New paper’s out! We used COIII, SNPs, & morphometrics to examine populations of holobenthic octopuses and found genetic structuring in these southeast Australian species. Avail Open Access: https://t.co/hS58qD57ZF Here’s an O.pallidus I found literally hanging out underwater😄

Come join our oceanography team in the AIMS Townsville office. Work with IMOS moorings and go to sea across Australia's tropics! 🌊

[Forrest Fleischman @ForrestFleisch1]

Two important recent papers go hand in hand. The first shows that forest-based carbon offsets are not working. The authors seems to suggest ways to fix them, but after 35 years of failures, maybe its time to move on. https://t.co/5FsJNBbzjZ

[The Future Coasts Lab @FutureCoastsLab]

We’ve been seeing a catastrophic summer season across many places in the northern hemisphere - and are set to experience the same here in the south over the next few months. We need urgent action on climate change now! 🌏 🌊

Nobody is to blame for a shark bite, but it is the responsibility of elected leaders to have evidence-based & effective means of safety in place - shark nets fail this test.
@ChrisMinnsMP @TaraMoriarty @PennySharpemlc the nets must be retired for good.
