Our Communications Team made an amazing video about the Quadra Island Bioblitz that we ran last year.
It’s a really nice overview of how and why we do bioblitzes...

Dr Maxine Canvin! 🎉🎓🍻 You are an incredible scientist! Massive congrats! 💪🏽 Thanks for being such a lovely, true friend and an awesome colleague and field-buddy! 🩵 #PhDone
Correction to this post. The deadline for submissions is actually Nov 30th 2025! Still plenty of time to prepare your submissions. @dansmale1.bsky.social @marclim-uk.bsky.social @pippajmoore.bsky.social @thembauk.bsky.social @jebyrnes.bsky.social @aec13.bsky.social @noramare.bsky.social
I had a great time at #ITRS2025 in Brest last week and am already looking forward to the next one 🇫🇷😊🇳🇿 Glad to have meets lots of old friends and colleagues and made some new connections! 🌊 #InternationalTemperateReef
Excited to be in Brest for my second #ITRS2025 🇫🇷 Looking forward to a great week of coastal ecology and connecting with fellow science mates 🌊🌱🐟🦀🪱🦪😊
It's been hard for early career biologists looking for postdocs, so I created a Google Sheet where we can all compile fellowships/job boards/postdoc opportunities in one place. PLEASE SHARE WIDELY! If you're a PI looking for postdocs, you can add to the 4th tab! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
If we choose not to act,
Or fail to adapt,
Then suffer we will.

Great week in Victoria at the International Seaweed Symposium #ISS25. Presenting my work, meeting old friends and new collaborators, making new connections and talking about seaweed! 😊🌊🌱🇨🇦
Some owl. Those soft edges are typical 🦉
Heat exposure on Western Australian coral reefs is literally off the charts.
24 Degree Heating Weeks now at Ningaloo - the highest ever recorded.
6-8 DHW is lethal for most branching corals.
>20 is catastrophic.

Congrats, lovely Maxine! Great work 🙌🏽🙂💚

#bluecarbon #seaweedaquaculture
A graph of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations at the Mauna Loa observatory, Hawaii, from 1958 to 4th February 2025. It shows carbon dioxide levels rising at an accelerating rate over the decades. This is known to be due to emissions of carbon dioxide from human activity, mainly fossil fuel burning but also deforestation. The first CO2 concentration value in March 1958 was 315 parts per million (ppm). The latest daily value is 426 ppm. The graph also shows a seasonal cycle of a few ppm within each year, which is known to be linked to the growing season in the northern hemisphere causing a temporary uptake of carbon in spring and summer and release in autumn. The graph is produced routinely by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego.
Although NOAA's page on atmospheric CO2 levels has vanished, you can still get this vital information from Ralph Keeling's team at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego keelingcurve.ucsd.edu

Don't let science be hidden
Lucky to live on the other side of the border - this is just nuts. So much work of pationate scientists going downhill, funding cuts and layoffs in so many departments and agencies all around the country... We need science!
😍
Soooo cool 😍
Spools with visible pink spots.
Check out my new pre-print about a novel #kelp disease!
This research includes a kelp-grower survey (still live). 57% of respondents have seen pink-spot disease on their spools. One bacteria is associated with pink spots, a target for future research.

⏰ ⏰⏰Abstract submission to itrs-home.org/submit-abstr... ends Friday! Thank you to all who have submitted so far. 260 abstracts and counting 🙌 🌊🪨🌱🦪🦞🐟🐚🦀🙌 @nessocon.bsky.social @katynicastro.bsky.social @louisefirth.bsky.social @dansmale1.bsky.social @ifremer.bsky.social @sbroscoff.bsky.social
Too focused on that seaweed, eh?! 😃
Hello🦋 Hoping for a nice platform to exchange science again. I'm a #kelp ecologist, finished my PhD last year on climate change impacts on kelp forests (🇬🇧 @thembauk.bsky.social, @dansmale1.bsky.social) & work now on microbes (🇨🇦 @ubcbotany.bsky.social, @hakaiinstitute.bsky.social).Happy kelpy times🌊🌱
