It was great to meet so many local sea snake enthusiasts at the @ExmouthResearch lab open day on the weekend! 🐍🌊

@UniofAdelaide scientists enjoyed busting some common sea snake myths, as they introduced our community to 4 species of snakes found in the Exmouth Gulf.

New paper from our group documenting sea snakes in the mesophotic zone, some of which have been unseen in the shallow waters of Ashmore Reef for decades https://t.co/bAhlGvg4rl @aims_gov_au @SchmidtOcean @wamuseum @CurtinUni @uwaoceans

Great #AMSA22 talk by @S_Coppersmith on wrestling wild sea snakes 🐍 to fill critical #marine conservation knowledge gaps. Exciting research @UniofAdelaide

The whales served as a nice back drop to our 🌊🐍 eDNA sampling out in Coral Bay WA. Thanks to @minderoo for supporting us. @jcroweriddell 🐋
