The robot was deployed SeaSim during coral spawning. It's an essential part of the technology toolkit needed to upscale conservation aquaculture methods.

Epic field trip activated! Our scientists are heading to the north-west oceanic reefs following an uncertain summer. They’ll also get to know #AshmoreReef better for the Ocean Discovery & Restoration program, co-funded with Australian Marine Parks

We’ve finished our largest ever science activity on the #GreatBarrierReef during a mass #coralbleaching event.

More than 40 scientists carried out in-water surveys to assess the fine-scale effects of heat stress this summer.

AIMS science leaders + AIMS, highlight the important role science plays in understanding #coralbleaching events and developing solutions to improve reef resilience.

But, above all, urgent action to curb the effects of global climate change is vital.

Final day of the #Reefresilience2024 symposium:

➡️Keynote from Carly Randall about coral seeding
➡️Plenary from David Mead + Line K Bay looking at the past, present and future of #RRAP .

Other great sessions from AIMS scientists sharing their research & science innovation.

Aerial surveys during this year's mass #coralbleaching event on the #GreatBarrierReef , show the pattern of bleaching is largely consistent with the prolonged heat stress.

The #GreatBarrierReef had a challenging summer.

Great day yesterday at the Townsville satellite event for #ReefResilience24 !

Thanks Mia Hoogenboom and Csilla for being the driving force behind it!

Global bleaching events do not affect all coral reefs equally and require a suite of global, regional, and local interventions, emphasising the need for regular monitoring, highlights Dr Britta Schaffelke, @AIMS & #GCRMN global coordinator #4GBE

4th global #coralbleaching event confirmed, illustrating the increasing pressure climate change is having on reef systems.

As a leader in coral reef science, we’re prioritising research that underpins scientific solutions to tackle reef resilience.

Sponge-tastic team effort during our sponge collection at the #GBR .
Big thanks to Heidi Luter, Florita Flores, Kathi Kitzinger and our captain Andrew (he is hiding behind the camera). Always a pleasure to go out in the field with this dream team!

If you can’t join the Reef Resilience Symposium Symposium in person next week (April 16 - 18), jump online & attend virtually. Sign up here: bit.ly/43OONbf

Our scientists will be sharing their research that supports the resilience of the #GreatBarrierReef
