Coral might be "charismatic and fancy" but @Stockholm_Uni researcher Maria Eggertsen says seaweed needs better press. Find out more about her fieldwork collaboration between @EcoEvo_ANU and @deepsthlmuni at Ningaloo Reef. https://t.co/mMDIlVy8YU

At Ningaloo Reef, the underwater view includes dozy whale sharks, elegant manta rays, hundreds of fish species... and ANU researchers hard at work. See behind the scenes of their long-term marine ecology study. https://t.co/pneMXl99Af

Algae - a very important but sadly overlooked part of coral reefs!
Through her research PhD student Maria Eggertsen wants to put algae on the map!

Read more about Maria's work in the article in @TidningExtrakt (in Swedish)

Honoured and humbled to win @nswdpi's John Holliday Conservation Award for my work identifying the ecological value of sponge, soft coral and macroalgae habitats to fish, and the use of canopy height as a cost-effective indicator of fish diversity: https://t.co/ZPkyhF3Pnq

van Lier: local canopy quality also super important-unseasonal loss of Sargassum canopy height led to 80% reduction in fish abundance 5 days later! #IPFC10

@NZStuffPolitics why does this small debate get a full article but last nights @ClimateVoterNZ debate, streamed by 13,000, not?

Deep sea 'mushroom' may be new branch of life http://t.co/EuPkPMUjoH - this is pretty cool! @bethany__ellis you might like this

@economicsNZ @ClimateVoterNZ @nzherald @NZStuff surely close to 58,000 #ClimateVoter 's is a pretty big crowd! @SamHayes_ any ideas why not?

[Joshua van Lier @JoshvL20]

Why is there no mention of @ClimateVoterNZ 's debate last night? Best debate- more than just shouting campaign slogans. @nzherald @NZStuff

[Joshua van Lier @JoshvL20]

@SamJohnsonSVA I'm surprised he had such a negative mindframe of voters behind #ClimateVoter . Can @NZNationalParty supporters not be?

[Joshua van Lier @JoshvL20]

@metiria if you want really far South there are the Clifden Caves, we did it in year 10 at a high school camp so can't be too dangerous!

[Joshua van Lier @JoshvL20]

@toby_etc you are fast becoming my favorite journalist. Brilliant write-up on Craig for the @nzherald today!
