For those lucky enough to be attending #AMSA22 in Cairns this August, you have one more week to secure some of our great merchandise. Fabulous shirts, coffee cups, water bottles and dive slates are on offer. https://t.co/2M2iRK2EGp.
Pick up only at the conference - no delivery.

Seagrass at different sites in #PortPhillipBay consistently produce different sized #seeds which affected their germination and persistence. #Seagrass

[Dr Abbi Scott @abbilscott]

It's great to be back on Mabuyag as part of our #seagrass exclusion experiment. Today @drpyork and I have been checking on our most remote exclusion cages on Orman Reefs, chatting with the community about this project and sharing knowledge about seagrasses and herbivores.

[Seagrass Ecology Lab @SeagrassEcology]

Phase 2 of groundbreaking #seagrass restoration in the #GreatBarrierReef has begun in Mourilyan Harbour!

Thanks to everyone who came out to help including @jcu students, @ozfishunlimited and Mandubarra rangers.

Watch this space for project updates!

Mutualistic relationships in marine angiosperms: Enhanced germination of seeds by mega‐herbivores https://t.co/wI10lxsL3A

[Paul York @drpyork]

New research led by @samantha_tol out of @SeagrassEcology @TropWATER @jcu shows #turtles and #dugong on the #GBR not only help disperse seagrass seeds but also improve their germination rates.

[samantha_tol @samantha_tol]

Mega-herbivores, #dugong and #greenseaturtles, have been found to increase #seagrass germination, with up to four times greater germination probability and up to 60% faster time to germinate. Read how here: https://t.co/Tb7f2ENuTB

[Dr Abbi Scott @abbilscott]

My final PhD chapter is now published!

We found that the impact of green turtle and dugong grazing on seagrass meadows varies spatially on a regional scale, but also over time at the same location.

A huge thank you to my lab team and my supervisors!
