#WorldOceanDay was the perfect time to chat about the amazing Giant spider ๐ฆ that come together in the Bay at this time of the year on @Channel10AU. So thrilled my job allows me to raise awareness for & increase knowledge of the biodiversity of the #GreatSouthernReef!

Environmental assessments are only assessing projects individually ignoring the bigger picture. It's time for the #EPBC act to consider cumulative impacts to stop the death by a thousand cuts.
New study led by @manammichelle finds more than half of NSWโs forests and woodlands are gone and many forest-dependent species are in real trouble.

Elysia crispata, the lettuce sea slug! Not a nudibranch but a sacoglossan.
This sea slug does something called kleptoplasty, or chloroplast symbiosis. The chloroplasts from the algae they eat is sequestered into their digestive tract and parapodia, work overtime for them ๐ช
ALT Elysia crispata otherwise known as the lettuce sea slug. They look just like their common name, a slug with lettuce on top

We know so little about spider crabs' lives, despite the fact that their gatherings have been fascinating the community for decades. We're enlisting the help of citizen scientists to help answer some burning questions.
Thank you @GSR_Australia for promoting our @Deakin research!
Every winter, spider crabs gather in Port Phillip Bay, amassing in their tens of thousands to complete their moulting process. In our new video, Dr. @ECamprasse of #SpiderCrabWatch, explains how little we still know about these iconic animals.

Our recent paper, lead by @catiajafreitas, shows the impact of an ocean education resource complemented by teacher workshops can create enhanced ocean literacy outcomes. And the best part? 100 schools connected to Port Phillip Bay will receive this resource (v2) in term 3!

Jack Parker's research investigates deep water habitats as climate refuges. With ocean temperatures rising, species may migrate to cooler mesophotic reefs, which offer stable temperatures compared to shallower waters. #GreatSouthernReef #MesophoticZone
As a diver & photographer, I'm passionate about showcasing the beauty of marine life on the #GreatSouthernReef. I've launched a new Facebook page - High On Ocean - to do just that. Need more marine content in your life? Check out the page shorturl.at/klwMZ ๐คฟ๐ธ๐๐ฆ๐๐ชผ๐ฆญ
