A rare total solar eclipse was visible from only a few places worldwide yesterday, including the small town of Exmouth, Australia. Lucky viewers watched in awe at the spectacle very few could see.

[Claire Smallwood @cb_smallwood]

Wow. Wow. Wow.

Crazy shadows, big temperature drop and eerily quiet (with all the animals thinking it was time for bed!).

I may become an eclipse chaser.

Deadline for abstracts for the International Conference and Workshop on #lobster #crab 🦞 🦀 biology and management have been extended until 6 April 2023.
With 20+ themes (including #recfishing) and workshops it's going to be a cracker!

A perfect day for some #vitaminsea time and reflect on the important role seagrass plays in our ecosystems. Happy #WorldSeagrassDay everyone! 🤿🚲🐠🌊

What a fantastic few days at #wrfc10 connecting with #recfishing researchers, managers, volunteers and groups from around the world. Safe travels home everyone.

Wise words from Sascha Danylchuk about how scientists should share catch & release best practice advice with anglers 🎣 #wrfc10 #fishing 🐟

A 4am start for the second leg of the journey 🥱. But it was nice to appreciate some of my case study areas as we took off #swanriver #cockburnsound ✈️🏙 🦀

The journey to #WRFC has begun with a boat ride and a beautiful #Wadjemup sunset.

I'll never get tired of visiting these beaches - some of the whitest and squeakiest in Australia #esperance #kepakurl #capelegrand

My first read of 2023. Highly recommend.

One of our most popular books this month has been #LessonsInChemistry by @BonnieGarmus. A riveting and captivating read following a woman’s experiences working in #STEM during the 1960’s. Adored by reviewers & booksellers alike & highly recommended! ❤️

We've achieved a lot of things this year in the #surveys team, and getting this report completed was the biggest of them all. Seeing this released is a great way to end the year.

Yay!!! My favourite flower is finally blooming 🌻. The #Rottnest Island Daisy (Trachymene coerulea) doesn't seem to come out until later in #spring but it's worth the wait.

Species identification always keeps us on our toes here in WA! Looks lile another update to our species list is required....

[Glenn Moore @WestOzFish]

Looks like a really interesting scientific program at #ASFB this week - including some research from our #surveys team and other collaborators highlighting differences in survey modes using several case studies 🦞🐟🐚💻📲

A beautiful day 🌞 for a ride 🚴‍♀️ to explore City of York Bay - named for ship which sank way back in 1899. And - as an extra surprise - I came home nearly empty handed from my #beachcleanup

The perks of commuting to #Rottnest in the opposite direction to everyone else - you get your own private boat and an office with a view 🌊🐳🐳🛥
