New research led by samantha_tol out of Seagrass Ecology Lab TropWATER James Cook Uni shows #turtles and #dugong on the #GBR not only help disperse seagrass seeds but also improve their germination rates.

Phase 2 of groundbreaking #seagrass restoration in the #GreatBarrierReef has begun in Mourilyan Harbour! Thanks to everyone who came out to help including James Cook Uni students, OzFish and Mandubarra rangers. Watch this space for project updates! #generationrestoration

It's great to be back on Mabuyag as part of our #seagrass exclusion experiment. Today Paul York and I have been checking on our most remote exclusion cages on Orman Reefs, chatting with the community about this project and sharing knowledge about seagrasses and herbivores.
