Brand-new open-access research from our program @HawaiiReefData led by the incomparable @fishymary! 🔔 🐠 These findings have important implications for marine management in Hawai‘i, take a look at the link in the post 👇🏼
New research from HIMARC examines drivers of herbivore biomass and benthic condition in Hawaiʻi to examine the assumptions of reef resilience for local management. Read it open access here: https://t.co/1qsciybHvw
Great paper on key steps for influencing change in ocean governance that is grounded in knowledge and experiences from local communities in the tropics
‼️ New paper alert ‼️
The key to ocean conservation may lie with the tropical majority.
The tropics are home to most of the world’s biodiversity and the majority of directly ocean-dependent people. 1/
Dive into #NationalOceanMonth by learning about what humans can do to help keep #coralreefs resilient and thriving. 🪸 An #ASUExpert is studying innovative methods, including how communities can relieve impacts of global stressors — read on: https://t.co/tlgCdDE389
We had an amazing day with @SEA_Woods_Hole Pacific Reefs Expedition! HUGE thanks to @ellieoftheocean for not only chatting with our group but also leading a snorkel to teach algae and coral species on the reef!

Happy #EarthDay! Today, we’re focusing on how restoration and conservation on the land and in the ocean have reciprocal benefits. So no matter where you are today - by the beach, by a river, in the mountains, in a city - get out and do something to give back to the Earth.
Check out this article on the Donovan Lab’s research on boosting coral reef resilience against global stressors using local solutions! Also, a great tribute to @fishymary’s excellence in science and leading our lab. Thanks @DavidRozul for writing! https://t.co/drTsOiZl9Q
HUGE congratulations to our lab PI @fishymary for being selected as an ESA Early Career Fellow! Anyone who knows Mary and her work knows how deserving she is of this recognition for her research and dedication to helping people who depend on reefs 🪸
Introducing the 2023 class of ESA Fellows and Early Career Fellows! 🎉
Join us in congratulating these scientists who are pushing the boundaries of ecological knowledge and enriching our profession 💡 🙌

SO much fun to visit the Hawai‘i State Capitol yesterday for Pilina Kanaloa, our ocean advocacy day! Gotta let our legislators know how important the ocean is to us by showing up 🌊
New paper coauthored by my colleague @RachelLayko! Found the largest positive impact on #Fish biomass came from the combined addition of habitat-based management and spatial fishing closures. Cool stuff. Bravo to the authors!
Excited to see this one out in Aquatic Conservation @WileyEcolEvol. Led by @RachelZuercher, she used @NOAACoral fish data to model fish and fishing along Florida's Coral Reef.
