Urgent Senate inquiry highlights the threat of the longspined sea urchin (Centro) to the #GreatSouthernReef. With a range expanded due to warmer seas, over 2,000 km of coastline is now impacted by Centro overgrazing. Read the report: aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_…

Urchin #SenateInquiry recommends federal govt. work with states to support and develop urchun fisheries. This pilot in Fortescue Bay is showing promising results. After 5 days of intense harvest, over 70K urchins landed representing ~30% of estimated biomass. IMAS Dr Johnny P Keane

Looks to be a big #redtide #Noctiluca bloom happening off Maria Island Tasmania! Noctiluca scintillans is a range-extending #dinoflagellate driven south on the strengthening East Australian Current #EAC 🎥 Geoff Swan 🔴🌊 IMAS academic.oup.com/plankt/article…

Longspined sea urchins are native to temperate waters around New South Wales. But as oceans heat up, their range has expanded more than 650km, through eastern Victoria and south to Tasmania.

Scientists from GSR Research Partnership are monitoring the eastern #GreatSouthernReef, anticipating this summer's marine heatwave 🌊🔥 Data on shallow water species in NSW, Vic, Tas are being collected as a baseline to help understand potential impacts. #marineheatwave

One of the many ‘Sheriffs’ patrolling the #greatsouthernreef. Awesome to see healthy numbers of these fish along so much of the south coast.
