Sea cucumbers in the Torres Strait! Great start to our survey at a Warrior Reef @MEG_MQ @mqnatsci @DrKJoyce @sawsharkman @joan_lyq
Beautiful sunset for the student night #ASFB2024
Excited for ASFB 2024 #asfb2024
Sharing an advertised Level B lecturer position available in Environmental Science and Management at the University of Newcastle. Job ad and link here --> livehire.com/careers/univer…
What's in this picture? A coral graveyard. Drones have revealed the latest bleaching event led to > 95% bleaching mortality at Lizard Island on the GBR. Heartbreaking to see hectare after hectare of this @MEG_MQ @jcu @Uni_Newcastle See yourself here: geonadir.com/drone-mapping-…
And that’s a wrap! After 37 km of ROV surveys, 24 km of BlueBoat surveys, and 189 DNA tissue samples, this trip is over. Thanks to a great team! @MEG_MQ @mqnatsci @MQSciEng @sawsharkman @_krisfish @joan_lyq @Patrick__Burke
Here we go again. Fifth field trip for me so far this year. Back up to Lizard Island and beyond. Thanks for the funding GBRF! @mqnatsci @va_gilliland @MQSciEng @MEG_MQ @sawsharkman @_krisfish @joan_lyq @AnnabellKlinke
Great to be back on Heron Island and enjoying playing with our new @BlueRobotics BlueBoat. Wish you were here @DrKJoyce! @MEG_MQ @mqnatsci @MQSciEng
What a fantastic night! Thanks for having me & giving me a microphone for 30 minutes @pintofscienceAU 🤩 Thanks to the Newcastle locals for showing up and caring about science! It was great to see some familiar faces in the crowd.

I’ll be speaking @pintofscienceAU about all things imaging sonars! Joint us next Tuesday, at The Happy Wombat, from 7pm, tickets are only $8!! Hope to see you there 🥳
2024 Great Barrier Reef bleaching summary now available: aims.gov.au/sites/default/… - Fifth mass bleaching event on the Great Barrier Reef since 2016 -Very high (60-90% cover bleached) and extreme (>90%) prevalence of coral bleaching in all three regions of the Great Barrier Reef
Mass coral bleaching unfolding at Lizard Island, northern Great Barrier Reef (March 2024). These events have become “normalised” to the point where it’s easy to forget that 20 yrs ago this would have been an unprecedented and isolated event.
The same reef from a drone shot in 2023 and just a few days ago (2024) - the bleaching on the northern GBR is next level. The world is on fire (even under the water). Photos from Mar Inn
Devastating coral bleaching and mortality on Lizard Island. It’s been a long hot summer for these corals 😭💔
Great to be back at @LizardIsland, this time for the sea cucumber monitoring project with @_krisfish. @MEG_MQ @mqnatsci @MQSciEng
