Thrilled to announce that the first paper of my PhD is now out!👇🏽👇🏽 We evaluated the recovery of species and functional diversity in a 10-year restored marine forest ➡️ doi.org/10.3389/fmars.…

Had a great time Species On The Move Conference in Florida, presenting some of my research on thermal ecology of urchins and kelps across their range in Australia and listening to a bunch of great talks!

We are proud to launch our online mapping tool at Seamap Australia today - thankyou to all of our collaborators ! IMAS University of Tasmania NESPMarineandCoastalHub abc.net.au/news/2023-05-2… via ABC Australia

Lucked out on conditions for honours fieldwork this week! Tethered urchins and setting up our predation experiments at camp cove and malabar + having both supervisors together in the field 🐟🤿 More sites to smash out next to see who’s munching on Centros in NSW 🦠

So excited this is finally underway!! Here’s hoping for 6 weeks of good weather 😬🤞🤞

Such a great week listening to all the cool science at #ITRS2023 IMAS and to have presented some of my PhD research! Can’t wait for #ITRS2025 👏👏

First of two experiments complete looking at within species variation in thermal tolerance of urchins. Sydney ✔️✔️ tassie soon! Huge thanks to Clayton Mead, Derrick, Cristina Galobart, Dr Adriana Vergés, Scott Bennett and the team Sydney Institute of Marine Science 👏👏😃

Fieldwork completed and time to go back home✈️. We collected in-situ data on seaweed productivity in Syndey’s Ecklonia and turf habitats🌊. Special thanks to Clayton Mead , Derrick, Claire Butler and Dr Adriana Vergés! See you soon!!😀

🚨 New Paper in One Earth & Some good news 🌊
We found #plasticwaste along Australia's coastlines decreased by an average 29% over the past 6 years. Greatest reductions were linked with actions that use economic incentives to encourage #wastewise behaviour.
