Today we were filming curricula content for a new unit for the Bachelor of Marine Science course Deakin University. Nothing beats spending a morning amongst a thick mat of Hormosira for #phycologyfriday

As we greet the morning sun of #WorldOceansDay, let us take a moment to reflect on the pristine coastal reefs that surround us, teeming with life, mystery, and a profound sense of wonder. Today and every day, let's cherish our magnificent oceans and the life they sustain.
