Marine ecologist and enviro’ scientist. Working on understanding seagrass resilience in estuaries. Studying the impact of grazing and climate change @CMER_ECU




🦀Come join us for a fun night filled with marine science speed talks, as well as TWO special guest speakers giving extended talks! 🦀 @AMSA_News #AMSAWA #marinescience

Voting is open until 31 July for the @AustralianWild2 photo comp. There are some incredible images of Australia's iconic and lesser-known #animals. Plants are cool too - vote #seagrass! I submitted a photo of Posidonia sinuosa, which is listed as vulnerable on the #IUCNRedList.






Our #AquaticScience team celebrated the first @UN #WorldSeagrassDay with students from Manea Senior College at the #Leschenault estuary. We worked together to design and conduct a #seagrass study. More about seagrasses in #WAestuaries : ow.ly/20FP50N4eSI #DWERatWork



Le petit mort: the little death. A tipple to what happens behind-the-scenes to bear the fruit of scientific papers. From the ashes comes a dataset of peer-reviewed seagrass papers (1975-2020). Shout out to the fierce @SeagrassSimone & others 🌱 Pre-print doi.org/10.5194/essd-2…

Our #AquaticScience team have started our annual summer #seagrass surveys in #WAestuaries. 238 sites were monitored by boat, kayak and drone in Nullaki (Wilson Inlet) near #DenmarkWA to assess seagrass extent and condition. More: ow.ly/eqwp50M0zf3 #DWERatWork #ecosystem

Join our #HealthyEstuariesWA team and @InletWilson for a community update on #WaterQuality, seagrass and on-ground works to improve the health of the #WilsonInlet. 📍 Thursday 17 November in Denmark 👉 RSVP ow.ly/MFhe50LrI6R #WAestuaries #WaterwayHealth






Did you know that we have 26 species of #seagrass in #WesternAustralia? They store #carbon and support #estuary health, so scientists from our #HealthyEstuariesWA team regularly monitor seagrass in our #SouthWestWA. More: ow.ly/jHSh50KAMSY #DYK #WAestuaries #DWERAtWork

In an Australian first scientists from #ECU have determined how long it takes for #seagrass to recover after grazing by swans. The first recordings of the recovery times now open new pathways for preservation of the marine ecosystem Read more: s.ecu.edu.au/3RvffiF
