22.01.2022 We are very proud to have just been awarded winner of the Distinction in Biodiversity and Ecosystem Conservation category in the Victorian Marine and Coastal Awards. Our Seals as Ecosystem Sentinels project aims to understand changes in the marine ecosystem that impact seals. Citizen scientists are using drones to monitor seal colonies, collecting data on population numbers and ecosystem changes. This innovative approach reduces the human impact on the seal colony and enables managers to quickly detect and respond to changes. Read more: https://bit.ly/32ZVucj

12.01.2022 Spotted: a 14-year-old Pied Oystercatcher enjoying the views at Churchill Island. While oystercatchers have been known to live up to 40 years, our coastal bird research team still get excited when they find one of this age, as it means they are thriving in the natural environment Millowl (Phillip Island) provides them.

01.01.2022 This pair of fluffy chicks are in what we call 'stage P3' - when they're almost ready to leave the safety of their parents' burrow and head out to sea on their own (fledge). Our researchers have seen a big drop in the number of chicks inside burrows on the Summerland Peninsula's south coast lately, which is very exciting, as it means most of the chicks have already fledged. The adult penguins aren’t wasting any time either! Already, we're seeing signs that suggest they are gearing up for a second breeding attempt. Stay tuned
