From Sept & Nov each year, millions of #shearwaters return to their breeding islands in southern Australia. Not all will survive this epic 15,000 km journey🪶Here's what we know & are yet to learn about this annual mortality & what to do if you find one: tinyurl.com/bdfw5ww2

Thrilled to share my first #PhD paper!🎉
We developed a risk assessment framework to identify #seabirds and #seals most at risk from #climatechange and the key threats they face.🦭🐧 #Conservation #ExtremeWeather
A new PhD study identifies the Australian & Antarctic marine predators most vulnerable to severe weather events, esp during breeding - and it offers a roadmap for targeted conservation efforts to protect species under threat in a changing climate: tinyurl.com/3fsha45t

Our new paper on Key Biodiversity Areas in the Southern Ocean led by Sarah Becker & @cassandrafish @CUSG_Boulder is now out! Using seabird & seal tracking data from 13 spp we identify 30 KBAs for SO spatial planning & in the High Seas! 🐧🦭🇦🇶@SCAR_Tweets #RAATD @IUCN_PA #HighSeas

Congrats to @DrLaurenRoman @mpred_lab and colleagues for this much needed seabird population demography and conservation tool!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 #DECRA #ARC @IMASUTAS
Scientists have developed a rapid, accurate way to estimate seabird age (many live 70 yrs). The new tool measures changes in an animal’s DNA as it ages. And it could revolutionise assessments of threatened seabird populations & boost conservation efforts!

Did you know our oceans' health changes with the seasons, just like our weather?
That's one of the things being studied in the Tasman Fracture Marine Park “Our Marine Parks Grant” project.
The goal is to figure out how these changes affect marine life, like the Tasmanian...
