Excited to share our latest review of the impacts of artificial light on sea turtle hatchling dispersal 💡🐢. We review their visual capabilities 👁️ and discuss the costs of disrupted orientation. With a great team @m_thumsy @aims_gov_au and others! ➡️ https://t.co/dgox4S77Te

Exciting news from our latest field work tagging #PygmyBlueWhales
Hats off to researchers who managed to tag 6⃣ fast-moving #PygmyBlueWhales offshore from Ningaloo. The tags provide knowledge on migratory routes and feeding areas. #CentreforWhaleResearch Learn more: https://t.co/lSfyBJnhrc

We had an incredible surprise during this year’s #PygmyBlueWhale fieldwork at Ningaloo Reef
This big bundle of joy was spotted in waters off Ningaloo swimming with its #PygmyBlueWhale mum during an AIMS research trip. It’s thought to be the youngest ever seen in Aussie waters. #CentreforWhaleResearch Learn more: https://t.co/lSfyBJnhrc
