Our new perspective is out "An integrative framework for sustainable coral reef restoration" @OneEarth_CP - the need to build #reefrestoration around #sustainedfinancing & #socialecologicalsystems - most constructive reviews ever! 📷 @CoralNurture https://t.co/HlGscvrTEP

I'm excited to share that I'll be starting an Assistant Professor of Marine Biology position at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi this fall. Stay tuned for research updates, opportunities, and all things marine larval ecology and aquaculture! @IslandCampus @AFS_ELHS 📸 credit @morganbs7

Big couple of nights with the team at Shushah Island - finally, the corals spawned!

Finally - mass synchronized #coralspawning at #Shushah #RedSea #KRRI @pedrohcp bang-on full moon - started early with 1 sp. but then kicked off collectively late evening. Incredible to see here for the first time. More to come as we refine timings/species. 📷 Alex Stead

@BustonLab @robin_k_francis @BU_Biology @BUMPatBU Go, Robin!! Great work and defense!! 🪸🐠Can I have your desk now? :)

[Pete Buston 🐟 @BustonLab]

Huge congratulations to Dr Robin Francis for the successful defense of her dissertation on reproductive ecology and dispersal ecology of two coral reef fishes 🍾 It has been a privilege 🙏 @robin_k_francis @BU_Biology @BUMPatBU

[Morgan Bennett-Smith @morganbs7]

@DavidJSuggett @RSRC_KAUST Any luck yet?

[David J Suggett @DavidJSuggett]

Evening shift begins to try to catch #coralspawning at #Shushah in the northern #RedSea - a real privilege to work in such a special place @RSRC_KAUST

[Morgan Bennett-Smith @morganbs7]

@LutfiAfiq Woa those are even snottier looking!

[Morgan Bennett-Smith @morganbs7]

I saw this crazy Red Sea troll snot a long time ago and never figured out exactly what it is. Some kind of sponge? Any ideas? #sciencetwitter #sponges #underwaterphotography

Sponges may be one of the most "primitive" multicellular animals, but their mechanisms for filter feeding are a wonder to behold. Here's an appreciation post for their critical contributions to reef ecology. Read more about these beauties at https://t.co/af2eb63S6R
