Honoured to be a plenary speaker at @ReefConsUK this year! Excited to share insights from a decade of studying & conserving fish spawning aggregations in #India

👯🪸 Digital twins for coral reefs?
New research, co-authored by #PewMarineFellow@TriesRazak, uses 3D tech to create digital reef replicas. These models can help scientists monitor changing ecosystems faster—and more affordably—than ever before. https://t.co/t5QnRMW5uq
Great fun recording for @PentlandCentre#TransformingTomorrow pod 🎙️, with @ThePaulTurner and Jan Bebbington - how to best restore ecosystems 🏞️, how businesses can help 🏙️, and how many Cumbrias fit into Wales 🤔
(plot spoiler - it depends on the point of tide… 🌊)
Fab thread about @rindahvida's new publication demonstrating the effectiveness of 'reef stars' for increasing small-scale coral reef habitat complexity 👇🪸⭐️
Great work, Rindah! 👏

��Fantastic debut first-author paper from @rindahvida! 🌟
Total privilege to get to supervise this brilliant work, that demonstrates recovery of habitat complexity on restored coral reefs 🪸🐠🐟

🚨 Exciting News! Our paper, Impacts of ‘Reef Star’ Coral Restoration on Multiple Metrics of Habitat Complexity, is now published in Restoration Ecology! 🌊🪸 We investigate how #coralrestoration enhances habitat complexity and promotes biodiversity. 1/8
Researchers are using cutting-edge technology to create huge digital 3D models of coral reefs to help research and revive them. @rindahvida, @TriesRazak and @TimACLamont explain their methods in the Conversation @LancsUniLEC@lecreefs https://t.co/dDYbUwxmZ1
Out today in Biology Letters!

Our #NewPaper documents decade-long behavioural change at a #spawningsite, showing how #fishing disrupts squaretail grouper mating behaviours, causing them to flee w fear, rather than fight w competitors or flirt w mates.
Honored to receive the ICRS World Reef Award @ICRSCoralReefs! It means a lot to be acknowledged where representation is limited. Indonesia has the world's most diverse coral organisms, yet reef science/conservation often go unrecognized. I'm committed to changing this narrative!
We're delighted to congratulate the British Science Festival Award Lecture winners of 2024!
Well done @NicholasWerren, @sabrinalyli, @LiamHywelCJ, @TimACLamont, @TeggiD and @rosiepoes 🥳

Eggs exposed to representative traffic noise for just five days hatched into birds that went on to have HALF the lifetime reproductive fitness of the control group. 📉🪺🐦
When are we going to take noise pollution as seriously as the evidence demands? 🔇🤫
Exposure to traffic noise—even while in the egg—impairs bird development and fitness, according to a new Science study.
The findings call for a reassessment of the threat posed by anthropogenic noise and the need for noise mitigation measures. https://t.co/o36Ozg34TP
Our recent @ConversationUK article now available in English and Bahasa Indonesia! 🇬🇧🇮🇩
If climate conditions allow (an 'if' that we MUST keep fighting for), it's possible to rebuild functioning coral reefs 🪸🐠📊

Today is a big day! The first work from my PhD thesis and my first first-author publication is out in @RSocPublishing. We demonstrated for the first time that playing reef sounds to coral larvae can increase their settlement rates https://t.co/rEaStxyJ90
