Preprint🚨 A labor of love that was 6+ years in the making. Grateful to have spent this time curating accounts describing #oyster-local life in the Pearl River Delta- where my family was from. Local authors inclusion is crucial to uncovering the breath of #Asian biodiversity loss

The official visit of Prof. Gray and Prof.Bayden Bayden D. Russell gave an excellent boost for the future academic/research collaborations between OfficialUMT and the SWIMS (Uni. Hong Kong) Farid DAHDOUH-GUEBAS SERM TROPIMUNDO @SCannicci

Last week one of our lab members, Khan Cheung, presented his work on thermal physiology of the seagrass, Halophila ovalis, at the World Seagrass Conference in Naples, Italy. #WSC2024 #seagrass #marinescience #climate The Swire Institute of Marine Science (SWIMS) HKU HKU School of Biological Sciences

Success ✅ in baseline marine #biodiversity surveys on the sea wall of the new #HongKong International Airport 3rd runway to inform large scale #OysterReef #restoration. We found some oysters; once we deploy shell/rock for reef base in 2024 this could be ideal for oyster growth!

Amazing to be part of such a large scaling up of #OysterReef #restoration in #HongKong! Truly fantastic #NatureBasedSolution #NbS! The Nature Conservancy Hong Kong The Swire Institute of Marine Science (SWIMS) HKU HKU School of Biological Sciences HKU_Science

Our new analysis of some of the biggest methodology issues with #marine #heatwave experiments, and some suggested improvements! HKU_Science The Swire Institute of Marine Science (SWIMS) HKU HKU School of Biological Sciences

Such a great few days in Hong Kong being hosted by Bayden D. Russell Laura Falkenberg and #HaiweiLuo CUHK Office of Academic Links for our ENSURE incubator looking at next-generation probiotics for oyster. Also got to see The Swire Institute of Marine Science (SWIMS) HKU and the HKU oyster hatchery thanks to #DrRajan. So productive

🥁 The first few pages of the #ITRS2025 website are up! 🙌 check out the headline acts, sign up to the newsletter, save & share the link: itrs-home.org spread the news! ⏰ this time next year we will be in full swing

Very glad this is out finally. Cenozoic Coral Triangle biodiversity has been the core research interest since my moving to Hong Kong. It’s finally done! go.nature.com/45Db9xj

We're so lucky to celebrate world #MangrovesDay in the amazing mangroves at Orpheus Island Research Station - JCU with a world expert @SCannicci. Truly special day for our students from HKU School of Biological Sciences The Swire Institute of Marine Science (SWIMS) HKU

Very busy week! We have been prepping tanks to grow baby oysters on 60 cubic meters of shell, in collaboration with The Nature Conservancy Hong Kong to build oyster reefs at HKIA.

Very busy summer field season. We have been assessing nitrogen cycling in sub-tidal oyster habitats off of South Lantau. #oyster #marinescience The University of Hong Kong HKU School of Biological Sciences The Swire Institute of Marine Science (SWIMS) HKU

Our postdoc, Zhengquan, has been raising sea urchin larvae to study the trans-generational effects of thermal stress of parents on offspring. Thanks to Leonardo Frosi for the help!

This is where #OysterReef #restoration begins! I'm excited to be setting our first batches of large and deploying them in the ocean! The culmination of 8 years of collaboration with The Nature Conservancy Hong Kong. Excited to be making some real impact!
