Success! The Blue Carbon Seascapes team retrieved soil cores from a depth of 499m near #Ningaloo! We’re exploring how we best protect & enhance the #bluecarbon process from tropical marine plants into our oceans, as a solution to #climatechange. ➡️ bit.ly/3HXLQuS @bhp

Could a humble tropical #seaweed called sargassum help with #climatechange? 🤔 The new #BlueCarbon Seascapes project funded by AIMS and @bhp will investigate. 🔗Learn more: ow.ly/wotz50PXYYG @FultoFish @coral_kay @AIMS_CEO

In the last week I've started to receive inquiries from people running tree planting programs wanting my help. I am suggesting that they shut down their programs. Here I will explain why:

Juvenile parrotfish use non-reef habitats, even species we previously classed as coral reef exclusive. We need to look beyond the coral and include non-reef habitats in our fish studies. First chapter of my PhD! mdpi.com/843526 @MDPIOpenAccess @CoralCoE

Back from the dead! This seahorse (Hippocampus tristis) was only known from three specimens collected over 100 years ago. Then in 2018 an underwater photo of it was taken! A true "Lazarus species". #ichthyology zenodo.org/record/3907005#.X…
