New paper led by Izzy Della Marta shows predation rates, fish biomass & biodiversity are higher in #marine protected areas in Sydney, but only in no-take sanctuary zones; #herbivory by luderick also influenced by protection @MEPS_IR@unswbees@AlistairPoore@ss_reefsrock
πΏπ€πͺΈπVery soon I'll be advertising a PHD position to come work with me on climate-proofing seaweeds on the #GreatSouthernReef. PM me if interested!πΏπΏ@MelindaAColeman
New film teaser just dropped: Reviving Giants explores reflections on the dramatic changes observed in Australia's #giantkelp forests and ongoing efforts for #restoration of these reefs.

Excited to be presenting our work on remnant fucalean forests in the northern Adriatic Sea at #ITRS23, Hobart, Australia π¦ Inspired by all the amazing temperate reef research from around the world π π±π¦π¦ @ss_reefsrock
Great to hold the 2nd Australia - Croatia Cultural & Education Roundtable, with a message by @JulianHillMP.
With @AusCouncilArts @min_kulture_hr & others we took stock of cooperation in 2022 & mapped out the plan for 2023 - including in science & sport!

Honoured that @AusAmbCroatia came to visit us in Rovinj! Was great to chat about marine conservation issues and our current #seaweed research in the north Adriatic π±π±
In Rovinj, I met Dr Shannen Smith - an π¦πΊ researcher at the @institutrb Center for Marine Research.
Dr Smith is making a contribution to marine conservation efforts in the upper Adriatic. π
To follow her studies π @FucaleanForests@dfat@CSIRO@CIMrovinj@ss_reefsrock
Collections of kelp and urchins for an experiment at @SydneyMarine for @CariocaMayer testing the effects of artificial light at night and warming on urchin herbivory and kelps!
Our paper looking at how juvenile reef fish distributions will respond to habitat shifts in an ocean-warming hotspot is Editorβs Choice & features on the cover of the latest issue of Diversity and Distributions out now https://t.co/SMGAIiqXPc @adriatix@RickStuartSmith@gedgar33
