Had a blast presenting at #Pint24 last night and introducing people to the wonderful marine #biodiversity of the #GreatSouthernReef . If you love science & going to the pub, make sure to check out the many Pint of Science AU events across Australia and join the fun!
Portrait mode. The face of the common (weedy) #seadragon , Phyllopteryx taeniolatus, doesn’t need any makeup as it has some spectacular natural patterns and coloration. Check out that hairstyle! No wonder it is a favorite species of the #greatsouthernreef
Beyond the sunlit shallows of Australia's #GreatSouthernReef lies deep water mesophotic habitats, or 'sponge gardens'. PhD candidate Jack Parker is investigating these reefs, mapping habitats, revealing their rich biodiversity & how they function as refuges in a changing world.

This is my favorite time of year - spider 🦀season AND Pint of Science AU ! Can't wait to speak in Melbourne on Monday - if you like marine life, you'll be in for a treat as I give an overview of some special creatures of the #GreatSouthernReef & their bonkers adaptations. Join us!
Underwater rivers export up to 50% of #kelp #carbon from shallow reefs to deep ocean, with potential for #sequestration . Our new paper shows dense shelf water transport is a major mechanism for kelp export off Australia's #GreatSouthernReef and elsewhere! doi.org/10.1038/s41598…

Pint of Science AU is turning 10 this year! I'm very excited to be part of the line-up! I'll be introducing some remarkable creatures of the #GreatSouthernReef & the adaptations that help them thrive. If you're in Melbourne, grab a ticket to join us tonight shorturl.at/deGIR
1/ Tanya Plibersek you have an incredibly difficult job but this is NOT 'listening to scientists' - reducing emissions & NOT approving more coal/gas wld be tho
2/ our #GreatSouthernReef is ALSO under critical threat from #ClimateChange yet receives a paltry 1% of GBR funding!!

Try and have a #MerryXmas everyone! Here is a South Australian Sea Lion playing with the Great Southern Reef Foundation Reef Life Survey marine scientists measuring tape while surveying biodiversity changes on the #greatsouthernreef this week :) (pic Dr Scott Bennett).
🐠🤓🌿PhD student wanted: Future-proofing kelps on the #greatsouthernreef 🌿Email me cv and letter of motivation ASAP🪸🐠
For this #phycologyfriday I’m re-sharing my image of the diversity of the #GreatSouthernReef and keen to hear about any spots around Victoria, CA and Bellingham, USA that I can potentially visit to get my seaweed fix during #IPMEN2023 and #NMEA2023 over the next few weeks.
For this #PhycologyFriday , I’m sharing my first attempt at making resin earrings using pressed seaweeds collected from one of the many wrack zones along the #GreatSouthernReef
🌿🤓🪸🐟Very soon I'll be advertising a PHD position to come work with me on climate-proofing seaweeds on the #GreatSouthernReef . PM me if interested!🌿🌿Melinda Coleman

A lovely first paper by Cody James, on the thermal tolerance of Lessonia corrugata -- a species which is globally unique to Tasmania and the #GreatSouthernReef (!!)

The Southern Pygmy Leatherjacket, Brachaluteres jacksonianus, is endemic to Australia's #greatsouthernreef . Here are just a few of the diverse colour forms that I've seen in this cute little fish over the years #marineexplorer
