Some classic marine fieldwork taking place in #Kioloa today - Honours students Iva and Rachel are tagging limpets! Have to be quick to catch them 💨

Another intense but successful field day! 🌱🌊 Sampled the first time point of the ‘big’ experiment. 840 tubes were filled, 360 #seagrass plants were clipped and bagged, and lots of snacks were eaten. Many thanks again to @katie_erick, @LDAW12 and Julia Hammans! 🌊

Exciting to get out into the seagrass and do some sampling of Zostera and Halophila sp. last week! Bodyboards can be so useful.. Thanks @katie_erick @Renske_Jongen @orlamckibbin @HannahEWesley Dana Lanceman & Luke Walker for field help, and @DR_GRIB @ZiggyMarzinelli Tim Glasby!

@joseelhart and I went searching for Zostera and Halophila at Lake Macquarie - and found both! We also found the perfect sunny lunch spot😎 @DR_GRIB @ZiggyMarzinelli

Really happy and grateful to be the winner of this award. Thank you @EcolSocAus and looking forward to talk about #seagrass at the conference in October! 🌊🌱
Congratulations @Renske_Jongen, inaugural winner of the #PeterFairweatherAward. Renske is investigating the relationship between seagrass and sediment to aid restoration efforts in the face of climate change. Find out more: ecolsoc.org.au/news/winner-o…

Our new experiment is out at @SydneyMarine! Previously we found variation in #sargassum frond size controlled it’s value as predation refuge for epifauna. Now we’re testing for the universality of this relationship using 3D printed algae mimics @GribbenLab @UNSWScience @unswcmsi
