@hollystokes94 @DamesOfDrones @EstebanNicole @j_laloe @MortimerJeanne @Marine_Science @ChagosTrust @ESAEcosphere @MarineSwansea @ZoologySwansea @SwanseaPostgrad Such a great use of drones, satellite tracking and mark recapture methods to accurately assess numbers of a critically endangered species. An insight into the possibilities across many taxa. Great work Holly.

✨ New paper! ✨ The first of my PhD! Find out how we combined mark-recapture, #drone surveys, and sat tracking to estimate the population of foraging turtles in a shallow lagoon in the Indian Ocean 🛰️🌊 doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.4… #WomeninDronesWednesday #IWD2023

@DFATVic @Deakin @AusIndiaCouncil theguardian.com/australia-news…

Pleased to help launch a new online portal at @Deakin to drive 🇮🇳-🇦🇺 internship opportunities, the culmination of a project funded by the @AusIndiaCouncil. Also celebrating were CG India Dr. Kumar, Vice-Chancellor lan Martin, Professor Ameeta Jain, and Dr Divya Singhal.

@jenny_friel Nice one Jen! ❤️

Whooo whoo! 🍻

Tune into ABC Radio South West Victoria tomorrow at 7:45 am Melbourne time to listen to my colleague Zach Clark discuss his research on white #sharks Zach has done some amazing work, so this will be well worth a listen! Stream here: abc.net.au/southwestvic

@adambspencer What's your sauce?

In the gym and Party at the Palace is on a screen In 20 odd minutes I’ve seen half of one non Anglo face in the tens of thousands of general public gathered Staggeringly white crows

@MarineSwansea @Marine_Science @GiuliaCerritel1 @AlexRattray5 @j_laloe @MortimerJeanne @SwanseaUni @Deakin @Unipisa @RSocPublishing Migration tracks of 3 post-nesting hawksbill turtles in a dynamic ocean current field. Ocean current modelling showed no evidence for correction of current drift. Active swimming explained majority of deviation rather than current advection doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2…

New paper alert! Migrations to remote banks present major challenges for migrating hawksbill turtles. Over short beeline distances (<178km), 22 turtles migrated much longer distances (2-7x), correcting courses in open ocean & slowing down in shallow water doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2…

The #IPCC #ClimateReport has just been approved!! 🙌 16 days, capped off with a final ~40hrs straight of line-by-line negotiation & approval. As one of the authors of the report, this moment culminates years of work. Congratulations to all the authors, Chairs and delegates 🎉

Fantastic talk by @rees_carina at #ists40 about optimising use of drone imagery to identify hawksbills vs green turtles in Chagos Archipelago using 122 survey transects in lagoon and reef habitats on 2 islands - successful MRes completed @SwanseaUni

My favourite thing is when people stick trackers on animals and one does literally nothing interesting and sits in 1 place 99% of the time and the researchers are like oh yeah that weird datapoint is Lazy Geoff, he doesn't ever do anything for reasons we don't entirely understand

@Guildford @abcnews 2 shipwrecks were found

@abcnews It's not a Roman shop. Some of the artefacts date from the middle ages. Every school kid knows that the Roman Empire was long gone by then. This is more likely a ship containing plunder or payment for trade.

@Hairy_Ballerina @daniel_espo_ @tomskiweb Thanks

@daniel_espo_ @tomskiweb You're living in the wrong state buddy. All good here in sunny QLD...... for now 😁

Yesterday I went to a live music show fleetwood mac. It was amazing! What was equally amazing was seeing all the smiling faces of the people that have been locked up for so long. Some were even crying it was a very emotional night! Back on track, it's all golden! 😁😊😎

@100trillionUSD This is the lack of logic and blatant fact choosing that will debunk the stock to flow model. Just let it go.

You still think this is about health? This is about passports & control. Governments are using the opportunity to implement passports & QR systems to limit your access, restrict your movement and seize your money (CBDC), i.e. to destroy freedom. #bitcoin is part of the solution.

@leighsales 7.30 was so good for a little while

Panel B is the overlap of home ranges of 17 juvenile turtles in the lagoon at Diego Garcia. I wouldn't be swimming around too much if I was shark food either. Read more here esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ea…

Feel free to hit me up for the code. Our new paper twitter.com/ESAApplications shows that even small protected areas are important for endangered species @EstebanNicole @DeakinCIE
