Our onboard aquaculture system, the marvellous creation of Christine Giuliano and SeaSim, is fully stocked with fecund corals ready to spawn! 😀🪸🪸🌝 Wonder how many nights they will keep us waiting?🤔 #ACRRI #spawning #GBR

We are ready in red! Special WeareWoppaburra colonies with known bleaching responses are on board and ready for spawning! Excited to bring SeaSim to the reef! #ACRRI #WCP Australian Institute of Marine Science BHP #coralspawning

Choose wisely coral larvae! 🪸 Sediment or no Sediment. #inshoreGBR #ACRRI Australian Institute of Marine Science

Our #coral spawning expedition in Woppaburra sea Country was a success! I’ll be tracking seeded recruits and monitoring their interaction with grazing fish in marine reserves. Will the selection of engineered devices or sites boost survival? #ACRRI #RRAP Australian Institute of Marine Science

Look at these beautiful digitifera recruits 😄 Quality tweeting Taylor Whitman

got some feedback on improvements for cherulean! standalone legibility for each colour is better now and a palette "menu" (i like blue)

Severe bleaching but low mortality after the 2020 bleaching event in the Keppels: Read this new paper from Cathie Page and collaborators for more on this story! 📰👩‍🔬

New Paper by Cathie Page Christine Giuliano Line K Bay Carly Randall “High survival following bleaching underscores the resilience of a frequently disturbed region of the #GreatBarrierReef” 📌 Keppel Islands Published Ecological Society ➡️ doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.4… #ACRRI BHP

Catch up on our research into the impacts of 2020 coral 🪸bleaching event in Woppaburra sea Country (Keppel Islands). A good news story of resilience and recovery. Climate warming remains the biggest threat to reefs worldwide.

On #InternationalWomensDay we’re celebrating AIMS women who are in the field. As expedition leaders, researchers, technicians or communicators, field work requires leadership, tenacity, adaptability, resilience & awesomeness. 📸from all-women, all-awesome AIMS field teams.

Mass coral bleaching is unfolding on the GBR...again. 😢 Want to know how this might impact reproduction next year? Out today in Coral Reefs: impacts of bleaching on coral reproduction in Woppaburra sea Country. rb.gy/bm9v1z Australian Institute of Marine Science WeareWoppaburra BHP

📢New paper led by Nico Briggs with James Cook Uni + Université de la Nouvelle-Calédonie “Dissecting coral recovery: bleaching reduces reproductive output in Acropora millepora.” Published in Coral Reefs here: doi.org/10.1007/s00338… BHP #ACRRI

Some bleached corals 🪸 can survive (if heat stress subsides), but they pay a cost in terms of their reproductive capacity, critical for post-bleaching recovery of coral populations. Australian Institute of Marine Science Read more below in this study led by Nico Briggs

#Coralbleaching can suppress reproduction in a common coral species found in the #GreatBarrierReef, hampering future reef replenishment. Read more about the study with James Cook Uni + Université de la Nouvelle-Calédonie: bit.ly/3Tzajfr #ACRRI BHP WeareWoppaburra

Mass coral bleaching unfolding at Lizard Island, northern Great Barrier Reef (March 2024). These events have become “normalised” to the point where it’s easy to forget that 20 yrs ago this would have been an unprecedented and isolated event.

Out now - our annual report on reef condition in the #GreatBarrierReef Coral cover ⬆️ in all 3️⃣ regions BUT results don’t reflect mass bleaching or cyclone impacts, as most surveys were already completed. Media release: bit.ly/LTMP_MR_24 Report: bit.ly/LTMP23_24
