Thanks #AMSA2023 for the opportunity to present TropWATER 's latest (and concerning) results on the status of dugongs in the #GBR, #herveybay, and #moretonbay.

Using #AI to monitor the Serengeti wildebeest migration from space🛰️ We detected 500K wildebeest in a area 20X size of San Francisco Exciting times for wildlife research & conservation! nature.com/articles/s4146… Led by Zijing Wu of @Utwente; Movement of Life & colleagues

We're continuing our important work with #Girringun Aboriginal corporation in Cardwell, to upskill Traditional Owners and Rangers to monitor #Seagrass and #dugongs in their sea country within the #GBR. Love this mob! TropWATER James Cook Uni @GBRFoundation
