So lucky to be able to dive in giant kelp at the local beach! I can't help to think what these kelp forests looked like pre-warming.... #giantkelp#greatsouthernreef#tasmania

I’m excited to announce that the AMSA-NZMSS 2024 conference website will soon be live and ready to go! I’m absolutely thrilled to be chairing this critically important conference where will be "Navigating uncertainty for a future sustainable ocean". Stay tuned for announcements.

Big congrats to Sam Tan who completed her Honours today with a final seminar! After completing 65,000 AUV annotations she investigated how sessile biota changes across a depth gradient from shallow to #mesophotic depths and MPA zoning. Thanks @IMASUTAS @ausmarineparks @IMOS_AUS

The amazing animals of the #GreatSouthernReef. This shot is just 2m of water, underneath the kelp, at a popular Hobart swimming beach! Just as spectacular as the Great Barrier Reef!
