Thanks Cosmos for the opportunity to share my vision for the future of antarctica.gov.au science!

We’re investigating if providing stronger symbiotic algae helps young corals to thrive. 🔎aims.gov.au/research/spawn… We’re working with @SCUonline as part of the Aust. Government’s Reef Restoration & Adaptation Program 📷: Miranda Spencer Altice & Dr. Christopher A. Brunner #RRAP #ReefTrust

Can filter feeders help us measure levels of #microplastics, as they do chemical pollutants? Our Microplastics Team have exposed these organisms to a constant diet of tiny plastic fragments to see how many they accumulate & whether they are retained in their tissues.

Congrats to @UWAoceans & Exmouth Research Lab, who have used @seasim_AU tech to support coral spawning experiments for the first-time in WA in April! Learn how AIMS@UWA researchers are using the coral larvae to understand heat resilience in WA corals: aims.gov.au/news-and-media…

Marine Invert friends, I am searching for a tunicate taxonomist to help identify new collections from Western Australia. Any recommendations?? $ available for expert identifications. DM for more info.

SeaSim is hiring. Want to join a dynamic team at the worlds most sophisticated experimental aquarium facility. We're looking for enthusiastic and passionate aquarists. Apply: aims.gov.au/about/careers-…

Hot off the press! We predicted spawning and uncovered a novel microbial transmission process in a broadcast spawning sponge. Well done Pam Engelberts!🎉

Our paper on #Coral larval settlement preferences to coralline algae (15x15 species) is now out! Read it here rdcu.be/c9tzI. Thanks to Coral Reef Algae Lab and the Australian Institute of Marine Science team for the great collab! SeaSim Carly Randall Andrew Negri @GBRFoundation

Come join us Australian Institute of Marine Science! Three (!!) new permanent research scientist opportunities are available to work in our Reef Recovery Adaptation & Restoration Program: - Coral Early-life Ecology - Applied Ecological Genetics - Coral Phenomics and Symbiosis shorturl.at/qvCHJ

Corals are severely bleaching in much of the W Atlantic and Caribbean. If a coral survives, will it contribute to the next gen? Check out our preprint - latent effects of bleaching on Acropora reproduction! Australian Institute of Marine Science Congrats Nico Briggs! #ACRRI #WCP researchsquare.com/article/rs-334…

Really stoked to finally share this preprint, 4 years in the making, that characterizes larval precompetency periods and settlement responses for 25 GBR coral species. SeaSim Australian Institute of Marine Science researchsquare.com/article/rs-338…

Coral larvae settle on a reef using chemical cues from crustose coralline algae. Muhammad Abdul Wahab Andrew Negri + team are extracting the cue favoured by many coral species to ⬆️ larval settlement for restoration activities. #RRAP DCCEEW @GBRFoundation ➡️ ow.ly/TiOh50Q89us

We’ve reached a milestone – delivering 100k baby corals to the #GreatBarrierReef 🥳 – our largest field trial in #coralrestoration research!! Overcoming bottlenecks & scaling up efforts for an ecosystem like the Reef is a complex puzzle. 🔗ow.ly/wnks50Qch5F #RRAP DCCEEW

Our new paper just published in Coral Reefs compared the effectiveness of different material types and surface roughness of settlement tiles on promoting coral larval settlement and spat survivorship. 1/ doi.org/10.1007/s00338… Coral Reef Algae Lab Australian Institute of Marine Science SeaSim
