Mega-herbivores, #dugong and #greenseaturtles, have been found to increase #seagrass germination, with up to four times greater germination probability and up to 60% faster time to germinate. Read how here: doi.org/10.1111/btp.13001
Come work on #seagrass#restoration in Western Port Bay with us! If you're passionate about the #environment, #conservation, & #management, and love to be outdoors, this is your perfect opportunity! Details below in the ad, or DM us any questions you have. Hope to meet you soon!
📢 My first #PhD data chapter is out! 📢
🐢 Green turtles form grazed plots in GBR #seagrass meadows
🌱 They can consume large amounts of aboveground biomass in a small area and feed on rhizomes too
📷 We caught them on camera!

This project is lead by @Cawthron_NZ with many partners including us at @Deakin
Fantastic #postdoc opportunity to work with a great team in amazing places (incl. Shark Bay 😍) developing novel remote sensing techniques to enhance #ocean conservation 🛰🌊! Highly collaborative project, with researchers from @uwanews, @CSIRO, @aims_gov_au & @DPIRDWA involved!
Interested in UAV tech for coastal research? Postdoctoral position in marine remote sensing at the University of Western Australia, details here: external.jobs.uwa.edu.au/cw/…@uwanews@UWAresearch @wave_energy_RC
Considering doing a #PhD?
@Deakin has a bunch of #scholarships for eligible domestic or international (currently living in Australia) candidates that can start before Nov 2020. @BlueCarbonLab would love to have more #PhD students join our team 😃

We're recruiting! A new PhD position is now available with us, and will use a combination of field-based trials and nursery experiments to develop the appropriate methodologies for #seagrass#restoration in #WesternPort, AU. Please DM or email us if you have any question!
Hey #seagrass lovers! (and green turtle lovers too...)
I'm giving my PhD pre-completion seminar via zoom on Friday at 1pm AEST. Come along to hear about all of my work on seagrasses and herbivores in the GBR.
The zoom link is below, DM me for the password if you want to come!
What better way to start #NationalScienceWeek than with a new publication under our belts! Working with various AU, NZ, and international #seagrass#restoration practitioners, we reviewed the region's restoration attempts to date, and highlighted the many successes achieved.
