The team are off on a voyage today to map benthic habitats in the reef lagoons of the Coral Sea. We are working with scientists from @jcu, @JCUTurtleHealth, @ausmarineparks and @qldmuseum looking at seabirds, sea turtles and soft corals. Look out for updates when we get back!

Are sea turtles a good sentinel species to monitor the spread of antibiotic resistance into marine environments? Read Kezia Drane's excellent inaugural PhD publication to find out!

It’s sea turtle week - our favourite time of year! The team recently completed a huge milestone, releasing our captive-raised critically endangered hawksbills onto the reef alongside Traditional Owner ranger groups and in partnership with @WWF_Australia #SeaTurtleWeek @BecDig 🐢

[9News Sydney @9NewsSyd]

Two years of work for researchers on the Great Barrier Reef have culminated with the release of a very special group of Hawks-bill turtles.

In a world-first, the turtles will be tracked as they make their way into an unknown world. @MarkWBurrows #9News

The turtles have been here since day dot. They tell you whether the sea’s healthy or not.” - Birri Gubba Juru Elder Jim Gaston, Gudjuda Senior Indigenous Land and Sea Ranger #WorldTurtleDay #StrongCountry #HealthyCountry @JCUturtlehealth

“There is compelling evidence that any stressor which can negatively affect the health of one species will also interfere with the ecological roles of wildlife, hampering ecosystems and conservation efforts more broadly” - @SaraK0P
