🌊 Are you working in #marinescience in Western Australia? 🌊

Then you probably wouldn't want to miss this evening. We've got some very clever people sharing some of the latest work happening in WA.

Last day to vote! Here's the link: https://t.co/UQ1o6Lp1Mi

[Caitlyn O'Dea @caitlynodea]

Voting is open until 31 July for the @AustralianWild2 photo comp. There are some incredible images of Australia's iconic and lesser-known #animals.

Plants are cool too - vote #seagrass!

I submitted a photo of Posidonia sinuosa, which is listed as vulnerable on the #IUCNRedList.

We (@CMER_ECU) travelled across the world to #ASLO23 in June. We shared our work, and celebrated submitting theses and starting a PhD between us. Our minds were blown by the Med’ vis and our cups filled by the seagrass. We also ate LOTS of gelato. Thanks for having us @aslo_org

Happy World Seagrass Day! 🌱
We had so much fun with these students. I reckon we’ve got some future scientists in the making 👩‍🔬

[DWER WA @DWER_WA]

Our #AquaticScience team celebrated the first @UN #WorldSeagrassDay with students from Manea Senior College at the #Leschenault estuary. We worked together to design and conduct a #seagrass study.

If you’re after a global dataset on seagrass meadows which spans decades, then we’ve got you covered 🌱🌱

[Chanelle Webster @clwebst0]

Le petit mort: the little death. A tipple to what happens behind-the-scenes to bear the fruit of scientific papers. From the ashes comes a dataset of peer-reviewed seagrass papers (1975-2020). Shout out to the fierce @SeagrassSimone & others 🌱

'tis the season to be jolly on a boat.

There was happy, green seagrass and lots of flowers in some places 🌱🌼

[DWER WA @DWER_WA]

Our #AquaticScience team have started our annual summer #seagrass surveys in #WAestuaries.

238 sites were monitored by boat, kayak and drone in Nullaki (Wilson Inlet) near #DenmarkWA to assess seagrass extent and condition. More: https://t.co/TRPO8uCBso

It’s sure to be a great evening of science. I hear we are getting fed too 😋😋

[DWER WA @DWER_WA]

Join our #HealthyEstuariesWA team and @InletWilson for a community update on #WaterQuality, seagrass and on-ground works to improve the health of the #WilsonInlet.

📍 Thursday 17 November in Denmark

It’s a great day when the jellyfish come to visit #WorldJellyfishDay

[Caitlyn O'Dea @caitlynodea]

Tune in to Radio Marinara on @3RRRFM shortly to hear yours truly chatting about all things swans and seagrass. You can listen back anytime on the website https://t.co/Gbb9OYDZ3v

[Caitlyn O'Dea @caitlynodea]

Some #seagrass meadows may be more resilient to #grazing than others 🦢🌱 In my first publication, along with @clwebst0 @kmpmcmahon and Paul Lavery, we show that #recovery of seagrass meadows becomes more variable under greater disturbance https://t.co/LydEwLuspJ @FrontPlantSci

[Caitlyn O'Dea @caitlynodea]

I just can’t figure out field attire. Why don’t I have long sleeves? 🥶

We’ll be back out again in a few months to see how the meadows are doing. I’m particularly interested to see how Ruppia in Wilson Inlet is after the sandbar hasn’t closed for the first time on record 🌧🌧

[DWER WA @DWER_WA]

Did you know that we have 26 species of #seagrass in #WesternAustralia?

They store #carbon and support #estuary health, so scientists from our #HealthyEstuariesWA team regularly monitor seagrass in our #SouthWestWA. More: https://t.co/6jrELKCi7p

[Edith Cowan University (ECU) @EdithCowanUni]

In an Australian first scientists from #ECU have determined how long it takes for #seagrass to recover after grazing by swans. The first recordings of the recovery times now open new pathways for preservation of the marine ecosystem

How I felt to see an intertidal seagrass meadow for the very first time on sea country with Yirrganydji Rangers #AMSA22 🌱

Mangroves against the world #AMSA22

[Caitlyn O'Dea @caitlynodea]

If you’re at #AMSA22, you can read about a case study explaining how we use seagrass to inform management 🌱

[Caitlyn O'Dea @caitlynodea]

Just a snippet of some work Australian scientists are doing on seagrasses, spanning govt, unis and industry #AMSA22 🌱📈👩‍🏫

@carlosduartephd @kmpmcmahon @clwebst0 @CMER_ECU Thank you Carlos 😃 would love to know what you think!
