Marine citizen science and education on the reef @mbtourism @CitSciOZ

A surprising new leader in reef citizen science is the not for profit, Museum of Underwater Art (MOUA) based in Townsville with the highest number of marine species observations for an individual reefs or island in Queensland for an iNaturalist project.

Fishy presentation - hear about a life changing moment with Dr Julian Pepperell for Reef Conversations 4 - Pelagic Passions #fish #fishing #Marlin

Can you learns from others and improve your financial and environmental KPIs? @ecoBizQld

Webinar 10am Wednesday - reef (fish) conversations with scientists and author Dr Juliuan Pepperell.

Crazy idea. So I volunteered to give a talk at @pintofscienceau on 21 May in Townsville. There are two speakers Edel Sheerin and Adam Smith. My talk is unusual "Inspired by Jacques Cousteau to be a violin". Tickets are $10. Join us for a beer, wear a red beanie @pintofscienceAU

POSITIVE NEWS of a giant coral. Would love to see this @ABC @abcnews @ABCNetwork @JCUOIRS @jcu .

As of October 2024, there are more than 9 million Australian observations on the @inaturalist platform across approximately 60,000 species, contributed by 100,000 users @atlaslivingaust @CitSciOZ

Passion, humble and experienced marine experts- perhaps we can we help your community, research, project, business and the world? Its worth a conversation

This may be the most important special issue for the future of coral reefs. Will you be join the conversation and strengthen climate action.
