22.01.2022 We recently ran a field trip on the Swan River for our Marine and Coastal Conservation and Management unit. Students got a feel for sampling water, sediment and benthic habitats. Thanks to the crew of Aquarius Charters for getting us around our study locations.

12.01.2022 Another UWA Marine Ecology field camp completed with an awesome group of people at a magnificent study location and left with some great data to analyse (and great memories of course!) We surveyed lobsters, coral, seagrass and intertidal platforms all around Rottnest Island. Thanks to the Rottnest Island Authority, particularly the rangers for some great interactions.

08.01.2022 We had the pleasure of seeing this phenomenon recently during our undergrad field trip to Albany where we capped off the trip with a night snorkel around Quaranup Jetty. Amazing experience to see my students glowing as they swam through the water!

06.01.2022 Back from another great field trip to Albany with our Field Techniques in Marine Science (SCIE3304) students! Students were split into 4 research groups that investigated fish communities inside and outside Albany port, benthic habitat distribution in King George Sound, invasive species in Princess Royal Harbour and sediment dynamics in exposed and sheltered beaches. Here is a taste of what this looked like... stayed tuned for more! #lovemyjob #championsforouroceans #sciencingisfun #sunshine #glassy

04.01.2022 Nice little video on seagrass research!

03.01.2022 We have been talking about sustainability in class...

02.01.2022 Tonight OzFish Perth Chapter and UWA researchers provided a Seeds for Snapper Seagrass Project update to member of the Cockburn Powerboat Association Fishing Se...ction. Dr John Statton explained the historic lost of Cockburn Sounds once prolific Seagrass meadows and how important this habitat is in providing nursery refuge for species like snapper, calamari and blue swimmer crabs. Last years trial to collect pods, process it and then return the seed to the sea has been a resounding success. Stay tuned as OzFish and UWA, with the help from CPBA volunteers ramp up Seagrass restoration to make better fish habitat. See more
