Could anyone tell me what this red/yellow algae is please? 🔥 Mixed in with Dictyota and Sargassum (and next to the seagrass beds) at Parsley Bay, Sydney 🔥

Today's field team of #WomeninSTEM heading to #Barangaroo to dive our underwater garden!
Special thanks to @seamuseum_ for letting us moor our dive vessel among the tall ships!

Common dolphins, Australasian gannets, petrels and migrating humpback whales - all in a days work for @UNSWScience students from BIOS2091 and MSCI9001. Now back to the books! 🐳🐳📚

Big shout out to @madlangley for always being there sampling with me, even in the coldest days of winter 🌱

Exciting news! The second paper from my PhD is available online -> authors.elsevier.com/a/1fP2xACeYBlD0
Check it out if you'd like to know how to minimise oyster farming impacts on seagrass meadows: floating bags have great potential!! @adriatix @AlistairPoore @DR_GRIB and Tim Glasby

Today new environment minister @tanya_plibersek visited us at @SydneyMarine. Had the pleasure of talking to her about the importance of #seagrass #restoration and @operationposid1 along with colleague @madlangley

You can't protect threatened species without protecting their habitats. That's where the research SIMS is doing into seagrass comes in, and the fantastic living seawalls which transform seawalls and other structures into more ecologically friendly structures.

You've no doubt heard the world’s largest plant is a #seagrass (theconversation.com/meet-the-world……)! Here’s the science behind how we made this discovery: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… Great team effort with @jane_edgeloe @BatleyLab @_MBreed @SiegyK @GaryAKendrick

A single seagrass plant in Shark Bay is around 4,500 years old, covers 200 square kilometres of seabed, and thrives in harsh conditions.
How did it evolve? And why does this matter?

I'm honoured to be one of the recipients of the Edified Energizer grants! Working with @siddharthpandey and @AmityAstrobio I plan to co-deliver a series of science engagement workshops in Ladakh (Western Himalayas) over the coming years.

So exciting to see this next chapter of
@operationposid1 unfold in Kamay (Botany Bay)! This estuary is known to many for its airports and cargo, but secretly harbours beautiful Posidonia meadows, soft corals, and kelp forests. Let's go!!
Operation Posidonia@operationposid1
A new chapter of OP begins! We're working alongside the Gamay Rangers to #restore #Posidonia in Botany Bay, thanks to @wildelementsco. Congrats @adriatix our founder and Wild Innovator! We also welcome new team member @claytontmead starting this week @UNSWScience @SydneyMarine

A storm squad of beach goers, dog walkers & kayakers in Port Stephens helped @ferretto89 from @unswbees collect an endangered seagrass after strong winds & high tides which have been successfully rehabilitated.🌊

Posidonia australis meadows are endangered in some NSW estuaries, but their decline has happened largely out of sight and out of mind. Its vital that we protect and restore precious marine habitats like Posidonia meadows for the future❤️🌏#NationalThreatenedSpeciesDay

Having lots of fun putting together a marine ecology course for #SciX 2022 with @orlamckibbin and @CariocaMayer. We will be visiting nature's classroom - the #intertidal zone - and then getting crafty with #ecostats.
High school students/teachers check unsw.to/scix 📚

Congratulations @ferretto89 !!! Can’t wait to be back amongst the Posi 🌱🌱🌱🌱
Dr Giulia Ferretto@ferretto89
My first first-authored paper is OUT!!! Can't describe the happiness after these years of wonderful work with @operationposid1 @adriatix @AlistairPoore @madlangley @callaghanct @SeagrassLiz @GaryAKendrick & Tim Glasby, Graham Housefield and John Statton authors.elsevier.com/a/1ded%7E1R%7E…

Announcement! We'll be co-restoring Posidonia and White's Seahorse populations. Posidonia is important seahorse habitat, but their populations have declined as habitats have been lost.

What stage of lockdown are you at, and is it more or less deranged than sleeping on the other side of your bed just to "spice things up"?

@operationposid1 is heading to Lake Macquarie!! The project will be re-vegetating mooring scars using Posidonia fragments that have washed ashore 🌱🌱
Operation Posidonia@operationposid1
Thanks @nbnnews for covering our launch in Lake Macquarie yesterday! We can't wait to get to work restoring Posidonia in the area. nbnnews.com.au/2021/06/26/mis…

Devastating loss of a Posidonia australis meadow in Nelson Bay after the March 2021 flooding in NSW😞 This will be a long recovery process. As disturbances become more intense and frequent, we need to look after the remaining seagrass meadows of Port Stephens (and the world)!!

Solastalgia. That sums up how I'm feeling right now. I just dived my favourite dive site in the world; the Pipeline in Nelson Bay for the first time following March floods. The site is devastated: all life has died above 8m. Seagrass, algae, sponges and corals are all gone. ☹️
