What a great week in Durban at #SAMSS! So proud to see the work from the @vonderHeydenlab and @HenriquesRo labs.

And it's a wrap... three days of solid marine science at #samss2022. So proud of my lab for their involvement, talks, posters and of course the gala dinner dancing and happy of our first in-person conference since 2019! Thank you to the organisers for a super conference.

Awesome opportunity! Thanks for all the hard work from the organising committee! #SASBiSC_Symposium @ProjectSeaStore

[SASBi Students @SASBi_Students]

Megan Jackson discussed her research wherein she has been "Investigating fine scale population dynamics in the endangered Zostera capensis using RADseq". We can't wait to see your results in the future, Megan!

[SASBi Students @SASBi_Students]

Thank you to all the attendees who made this symposium so successful! All the best for your research, we can't wait to see how far you have all come by the next SASBi-SC/ SAGS symposium (which will hopefully be in person)!

❗️We are please asking the public to be on the lookout for any oiled seabirds on South Africa’s Southern Cape coastline.
A heavily oiled African penguin was recovered on the South Coast, as well as an oiled Cape gannet on Bird Island last week.

The seagrass around Green Island is home to some amazing marine life, you can find sharks cruising around the meadows looking for a meal.

[Seagrass Ecology Lab @SeagrassEcology]

Are you interested in doing a #PhD studying #seagrass on the Great Barrier Reef?

We are looking for new students as part of the @jcu and @NQBulkPorts partnership, including seagrass focused projects.

We had a super lab hike on #Stellenbosch #mountain this morning. I love this fun research group, who are game even very early in the morning. Thanks everyone - it was a great way to spend some time (even though the views weren’t their best).

[Megan Jackson @megjjackson]

It was an amazing opportunity to take part in this course! Can’t wait to get my #Zostera capensis ddRADseq data! Thank you @vonderHeydenlab

[Physalia-courses@ONLINE @Physacourses]

Last day of the course "RADseq data analysis" with a great team of instructors (@naiara_re @TerezaManousaki @NataliaDA10) and 31 participants from all over the 🌏🌍 working on many different cool RADseq projects.
Thanks to you all for this great week! 🙏
