Climate adaptation planning should lead with regions most exposed to future change as these have less lead-time before impacts likely emerge. Here we present indices to rank MPAs by their exposure to ocean warming so those most exposed can be prioritised sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🌿🌿🐠How do we restore marine forests at ecologically-meaningful scales?

In our new article we discuss current challenges and emerging solutions from 25 projects around the world

Full PhD scholarship available in beautiful Coffs Harbour to study kelp and coral responses to marine heatwaves. Great team and location. Contact me for more information and to apply 😀

Can #microbe s mediate herbivory in #marine ecosystems? #Kelp #microbe changes in response to #warming correlate with higher #grazing of kelp by sea urchins.

Climate-driven redistributions of Australian canopy-forming #seaweeds can alter the availability of seaweed-derived nutrients to consumers with broad implications for energy transfer w/in temperate marine food webs. Read all about it in our new paper -> frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

🌊🔥 Australia braces for a severe marine heatwave this #ElNiño summer. #Kelpforests face high risk. Past heatwaves have devastated marine life, like the loss of 96,000 Ha of kelp in WA (2011).

Stay informed with #GSRRP updates.

Scientists from GSR Research Partnership are monitoring the eastern #GreatSouthernReef , anticipating this summer's marine heatwave 🌊🔥

Data on shallow water species in NSW, Vic, Tas are being collected as a baseline to help understand potential impacts. #marineheatwave

Predictions of seafood nutritional quality in space and time (like these for whiting throughout south-eastern Aust) have the potential to inform the strategic harvest of nutritionally rich food.

Well done Tanika Shalders on an awesome final PhD chapter!
