More than 10 years of #TsitsikammaLivingLab and this is a 1st: Temporary closure due to storms of the coastal trail we have to walk to get to our study site! But with cunning p(l)ans, and out of the box thinking the teaching goes on!! @WepenerVictor @WynandMalherbe @NWU_WRG

Missing our @SWIMSHKU friends at #LivingLab_Tsitsikamma. Today it is all about predator prey interactions on Day 3. @NicoJSmit1 @WynandMalherbe

The “new” normal is about continuing to do the tried and tested things within the constraints of our current situation. #Vaal_LivingLab @SETAC_world

On International Water Day: We need all the tools available to make sure we have good quality water. Here we succesfully tested the use of Artificial Mussels for monitoring Pt. in H2O. ⁦@Bernd_AquatEcol⁩ ⁦@NWU_WRG ⁦@WepenerVictor⁩ ⁦⁦ https://t.co/bt8b9zGEPM

Alien parasites always intrigue! Is the eel gill fluke P. anguillae invasive in South Africa or not - find out in this great paper by ⁦@NWU_WRG⁩ PhD ⁦@TruterMarliese⁩ in collaboration with our dear departed friend, Olaf Weyl ⁦@NRF_SAIAB⁩ https://t.co/6IYVbX9WgA

[Nico J Smit @NicoJSmit1]

Although South Africa has a great shark & ray diversity we know very little about their parasites. In her first ever paper ⁦@NWU_WRG⁩ MSc student ⁦@_Geraldine_7⁩ described a new species of Grillotia (Cestoda) from the spotted skate. Well done G https://t.co/1QOEdBBDSG
