Climate adaptation planning should lead with regions most exposed to future change as these have less lead-time before impacts likely emerge. Here we present indices to rank MPAs by their exposure to ocean warming so those most exposed can be prioritised

Valuable two days spent at the #AdaptNSW climate adaptation forum presenting work on the exposure of marine parks to ocean warming and discussing marine system response and options more broadly.

Predictions of seafood nutritional quality in space and time (like these for whiting throughout south-eastern Aust) have the potential to inform the strategic harvest of nutritionally rich food. Well done @TanikaCShalders on an awesome final PhD chapter!.

Just published in Fisheries Oceanography: We investigated the nutritional quality of eastern school whiting throughout south-eastern Australia & observed changes in nutritional quality in response to both season and ocean warming.

To hope to manage climate change impacts to living marine systems, we need rapid vulnerably assessment tools that produce outcomes faster than impacts occur. Here we demonstrate multi-criteria analysis as an effective method for doing this. Open access:

Important paper just out demonstrating the opportunities species-on-the-move create to communicate climate change in ways that people care about. Very pleased to have contributed to this work led by the wonderful @GrettaPecl.

Engaging people on #ClimateChange is challenging, but you can use climate-driven #SpeciesOnTheMove to connect with people, framed in ways that matter to them (economics, human health, environment etc). Our new paper out today in People & Nature:

Today we published our Conversation piece discussing how small critters can fertilize gametophytes in their poo: both urchins and small snails can do this! 💩🌱.

Food provisioning for white shark tourism increases the activity, but doesn't impact the physiological condition, of the iconic yellowtail kingfish. Fun collaboration with @TMClarke95 et al.

Much warmer than normal ocean temps are forecast for Australia over the coming months. We write about what this means for marine biodiversity and provide a list of species to keep an eye out for:

The world’s oceans are getting hotter, quicker. And our marine species are seeking cooler waters. Keep your eyes peeled and you might spot one of these species on the move.

Aussie oceans are warming up & projected to get much hotter than usual shortly - marine species are on the move. From dugong to octopuses, here are 8 species YOU might SPOT, LOG & MAP in new places (. @Zoe_Doubleday.@curt_champ .
