Help promote awareness in the declining amount of crayweed forests in Sydney!

[Australasian Coastal Restoration Network @AusCoastRestore]

@Dr_AlexandraCam - seaweed forests are incredibly important but declining habitats, but @crayweedcrew #operationcrayweed is working hard to restore Sydney’s crayweed forests! #sera2018 #crayweed #marinereforestation #restoration

Interesting documentary discussing the captivity of orcas- truly heart breaking. Keeping animals of such scale in an enclosed space is un natural and inhumane.

The issue of perceived traditional benefits is an ongoing issue. The relaities of shark fin soup not being good for you needs to be more well known!

@Katie_Papazian The blind leading the blind?

Interesting article discussing how potentially habitat affects turtles more than temperature. Understanding rainfall patterns and global warming is important in their conservation. #MarEnvS19 #savetheturtle

I took this photo when travelling the Great Ocean Road. This highlights the effects of coastal erosion. With many scientists not being able to acquire the data needed to make accurate predictions. The 12 great Apostles? More like 6 and a half sad sea stumps. #MarEnvS19

Me after too many Uber Eats.
On a serious note, there are 86 species on the Australian endangered list, this is due to human activity. https://t.co/NuPlE7U4QV

Double bleaching events of the Great Barrier Reef and kelp forests of Tasmania, we need to protect more species. #MarEnvS19

It is not just a change in attitude that is needed, it is a change in lifestyle and education

[Lauren Coley-Mackerill @LMackerill]

It is amazing to see the progress in terms of small scale changes in terms of our attitude to plastic. Especially when it comes to straw use. However Mcdonalds did give me two straws in my Uber Eats bag when i didn't even order a drink? #ubereats #naughty

Spotted this pop up today at the market in Manly. It is so incredible to see the people in Manly taking a stand against single use plastic. There are many alternatives to single use plastic such as resuable bags and metal or glass straws. #MarEnvS19

The Indian Ocean Dipole is going to create serious concerns for Australia in the future. #MarEnvS19

Amazing diving experience in Cairns looking at the sea life, sadly I did not see Nemo but i did see an eel. #MarEnvS19

[Lauren Coley-Mackerill @LMackerill]

Here is a photo of the coral that I took whilst diving the Great Barrier Reef. It upset me to see how much of it appeared dead. Is global warming still a lie? #nextonetrump

[Lauren Coley-Mackerill @LMackerill]

Visitied the White Rabbit Gallery in Chippendale last week and they had an exhibition on portraying the life and experiences of whales. Science can also be tranferred in to an artistic vision.

Does this course mean binge watching Bondi rescue is technically educational? #fingerscrossed

[Lauren Coley-Mackerill @LMackerill]

Practicallyand physically learning the information you read online is so useful.

[Lauren Coley-Mackerill @LMackerill]

How many of you can spot the RIP?

Amazing view from Indian Head on Fraser Island! You can see sharks, turtles, stingrays and fish down below #marEnvS19

[Lauren Coley-Mackerill @LMackerill]

Interesting article discussing how humpback whales sing progressive songs associated with their breeding grounds. Should we arrange an X Factor audition? What should they perform? #mamadothehump #MarEnvS19

I find it interesting looking in to peoples different perceptions of threats and their response. India believes you require hospitalisation from a blue bottle sting whereas in Australia there a signs saying 'just add ice and water' #hardcore #MarEnvS19
