Congratulations Dr Elvis Okoffo on being named a QLD 2024 Young Tall Poppy!

His research aims to provide insights into the distribution, abundance, & impacts of plastic pollution to develop effective strategies to mitigate the adverse effects on ecosystems & human health.

🐠Check out our latest paper! 🌊
Great to be involved in this #coastal and #marine #restoration research on a truly interdisciplinary team! #ecologicalengineering @UQ_CBCS

[UQ News @UQ_News]

Testing of mud by #UQ researchers has revealed up to 7000 tonnes of microplastics could be polluting Brisbane’s Moreton Bay.

@ElvisOkoffo says the main plastics he found were polyethylene (PE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

The first global mangrove assessment for @redlisteco shows over half of the world’s mangrove ecosystems are at risk of collapse.

Learn why and what can be done 🧵

Very excited to share that we successfully collected the world’s first venom sample from the world’s only freshwater sea snake! The Lake Taal Sea Snake (Hydrophis semperi). My Masters student, Marlan, will study its venom @UST1611official here in the Philippines.

#plastics are forever! Great display at @HIRS_UQ about #microplastic It's not only fish that mistake microplastic for food, corals eat plastic too and will have a 20 times higher chance of getting coral disease. #reduce #recycle #repurpose
@UQ_CMS @UQscience

[CoralWatch @Coral_Watch]

Even though @HIRS_UQ is located 70km from the mainland, we still find quite a lot of plastics on the beach. You can help, #reduce, #recycle, #repurpose and collect #3forthesea

[Chris Roelfsema @ChrisRoelfsema]

The more you know about coral reefs the better you can take care of it. It was an honour to show and teach 100 UQ Alumni, the @UQ_News VC and @UQscience Dean at @HIRS_UQ and @HeronIsle @RSRC_UQ @UQ_sees @gbrmarinepark the birth place of @Coral_Watch and the @AllenCoralAtlas maps

Friends, what do Cath Lovelock and Tim Winton have in common? We love the Exmouth Gulf! We explored the mangroves together. The first of three episodes is on tonight on ABC. Enjoy!
