🚨New open access paper🚨

Can we identify ecological #brightspots in coastal seascapes, and use these to help optimise management?

When you get to work in places like this ✨✨ - the patterned fens of K’gari (Fraser Island). @usceduau @Darsh_Chellaiah

[Ben Gilby @bennygilbs]

The structure and complexity of coastal habitats affects fish.

But how can we use this to optimise management and restoration targets?

Bin Chickens are actually adorable as babies. Keep an eye out for the Ibis that we tagged today with bright pink and blue tags and let us know where they are via the @BigCityBirds1 app if you spot them! @usceduau @mbritQLD #CitizenScience #binchicken

@OysterReefs @SydneyMarine @LivingSeawalls @operationposid1 @crayweedcrew Congratulations Paco!

Crab fisheries often show large inter-annual fluctuations. In our new paper we show larger harvests during winter correlate with reduced catch the following summer (recruit overfishing). https://t.co/NH5Cf9bfiP @UNSWScience @SydneyMarine

Sharing this study from @bennygilbs for #UrbanOctober, which recommends wide "vegetation buffers between" urban developments and coastal ecosystems, and new urban developments be "interspersed with remnant vegetation" to reduce negative ecological impacts https://t.co/gk6gubnNQ7

How quickly do #restored #mangroves support equivalent fish densities relative to nearby natural forests? In #MoretonBay, #Queensland, it was quicker than we thought! Paper: https://t.co/gxnT4TQ6ua (1/4) @ConnollyLab @seabassphd @globalwetlands @GU_Sciences @GriffithARI

Away for fieldwork down the Gold Coast and Tallebudgera Creek has been the most beautiful estuary for research! So clear and so much wildlife 🐠💚 excited to see what we capture on our RUVS 🤩 @hannahjperry_ @usceduau #animalecology #research #fish #estuary

[Taylor Cooper @TaylorCoooper]

What a life out in the field researching fish assemblages and estuarine habitats! 🐠🐟 @hannahjperry_ @usceduau

Great photo from @TaylorCoooper! Taken during fieldwork with @bennygilbs as part of the @CouncilSCC monitoring program on coastal vertebrates 🦅

Our new @ConBiology paper describes how a forgotten, near-extinct #reef #ecosystem became the focus of a national #marine #restoration program in a matter of years - from a 1st reef in 2015 to 46 nationwide today. #generationrestoration https://t.co/9fOu5lfKeF
