Prospective students from around the world can now join us UWA in Semester 1 in our one-of-a-kind Master of Ocean Leadership program! UWA Oceans Institute #oceanleaders

Found this little one with eggs, hiding under an #ADCP we were retrieving with the UWA Coastal Oceanography Lab team. #blueringoctopus are awesome !

"We belong to the Earth rather than to a nation, and to a species rather than a nationality. And although we might feel distinct and different, we all have a common source." bit.ly/3xldFqw

Persistence of seaweed forests in the anthropocene will depend on warming and marine heatwave profiles Our new paper recently published in #JPhycol: doi.org/10.1111/jpy.13… Sandra C. Straub @ZiggyMarzinelli Dr Adriana Vergés Brendan Kelaher Melinda Coleman UWA Research UWA Oceans Institute

Who knew doing your own “research” might not be the same as evidence-based peer-reviewed research? Who’d have thought that just because it is same word, scientists don’t use the same methods of trawling the Internet to arrive at understanding by scientific research? UWA Research

Do you remember our kelp babies🌱👶from last year? They have now grown into strong and healthy adults. The #greengravel technique to #restore #kelpforests keeps on proving itself as one of the most effective ways to revive our oceans. #CETEMARES #IPLeiria

The #BlueEconomy can help transform #kelp forest #restoration. Our new paper in JPhyc explains how! SeaForester Melinda Coleman @ColetteFeehan Thibaut de Bettignies João N. Franco UWA Research Havforskningsinstituttet

Likely new species of snailfish discovered 6500m deep in the Indian Ocean 🐟 deep sea species rarely survive the decompression and temperature when caught, but we only need a single sample to describe and sequence the species. 2nd pic is what it looks like in the wild

Proud to have been part of the first cohort of the Master of Ocean Leadership UWA_OGS & UWA Oceans Institute ! If you’re looking for something different, check it out !

Shield wall: In our new OA paper in Functional Ecology Felipe Ribeiro show how #kelp beat the💩 out of #corals in tropicalized reefs 🌱🌊👊😁. doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…. Albert Pessarrodona UWA Research UWA Oceans Institute School of Biological Sciences, UWA

Our new paper published in #PLOSBiology examines #kelp blue carbon transformation across the northern hemisphere. We find faster decomposition with warmer sea temperature. An incredible replicated field experiment by 15 groups! plos.io/3QnzBJY Havforskningsinstituttet UWA Research

The Great Southern Reef in Australia was found to be one of the most productive ecosystems, absorbing carbon dioxide 30x faster than trees. Read more: smh.com.au/national/austr…

Hoping large #greengravel can restore #kelp forests in Western Australia ❤️🌱 12 years after a marine heatwave killed kelp along 100km of coast. We are using heatwave survivors 💪 to build resilience! #kelpforestchallenge UWA Research George Wood Ocean Imaging Thomas Wernberg

I'm challenging myself to swim to save lives this March. Please donate to my fundraising page and help young people across Australia. @LapsForLife_Aus #LapsForLife lapsforlife.com.au/s/29038/34044/t

Mangrove & kelp forests are under threat from the triple planetary crisis of #ClimateChange, biodiversity loss, pollution & waste. UNEP’s new interactive site highlights the global status of these ecosystems & identifies critical areas for conservation & restoration.

Our OI members are lead contributors to the most comprehensive review undertaken on the state of the world’s kelp forests. Thomas Wernberg Jurgen Valckenaere Karen Filbee-Dexter
