The team are off on a voyage today to map benthic habitats in the reef lagoons of the Coral Sea. We are working with scientists from @jcu, @JCUTurtleHealth, @ausmarineparks and @qldmuseum looking at seabirds, sea turtles and soft corals. Look out for updates when we get back!

Are sea turtles a good sentinel species to monitor the spread of antibiotic resistance into marine environments? Read Kezia Drane's excellent inaugural PhD publication to find out! https://t.co/0cRONgm4t8

Dissemination of antibiotic resistance (AR) in marine environments is a global concern with a propensity to affect public health and many ecosystems worldwide.

It’s sea turtle week - our favourite time of year! The team recently completed a huge milestone, releasing our captive-raised critically endangered hawksbills onto the reef alongside Traditional Owner ranger groups and in partnership with @WWF_Australia #SeaTurtleWeek @BecDig 🐢
Two years of work for researchers on the Great Barrier Reef have culminated with the release of a very special group of Hawks-bill turtles. In a world-first, the turtles will be tracked as they make their way into an unknown world. @MarkWBurrows #9News
