Thanks to #ABCReefLive for a fantastic weekend covering spawning on the GBR over the weekend though the work hasn't stopped. Fantastic spawning of corals held in the SeaSim over the past 3 years. Goniastrea, Mycedium, Fungia to name a few #spawnathon2020 @aims_gov_au @ABCTV

Spawning like clockwork - only 2 min late this year. Platygyra fast becoming my favourite coral #ReefLiveAU #spawnathon2020 @SeaSim_AIMS @aims_gov_au

Field update: only 1 species of staghorn (reef) releasing a few bundles last night. All hands on deck for the big event likely to happen tonight. Good luck to @CaitlinAlinya @HowlettLorna @reefsnorkel keeping an eye on the reef and nurseries tonight! #spawnathon2020 #exciting

It’s in the bag. Researcher @AnnikaLamb7 isolating each hybrid coral colony to capture their spawn. The aim is to breed more heat resistant corals to help fast-track evolution for a warmer future. #ReefLiveAU @ABCTV #spawnathon2020 #WomenInSTEM

What’s with the red light? Corals need to spawn in the dark. Red is a safe wavelength for them. Tune in to @_annjones_ broadcasting from @SeaSim_AIMS live on @abctv now. #ReefLiveAU #spawnathon2020 #coralspawning
