A little bit of 2024.....
It's been a year full of amazing people and incredible field trips. I'm very lucky to be working on some great projects with the best team.
But it's also been a year of a lot of rejection for grants, awards and other things. It sucks but that's life!

A year on from cyclone Jasper we are sharing some of our findings from surveys of the intertidal coastal habitats from Cairns to Cooktown.
The record breaking floods caused extensive damage to mangroves. We didn't see any live corals on the fringing reefs at all, they were still smothered in mud

Final field trip of the year wrapped up with the Jabalbina Ranger team! Monitoring subtidal habitats to understand post cyclone recovery of seagrass and corals almost a year after Jasper came through. Great to be able to get some up to date information on seagrass in the region.

After all this time studying seagrass in Queensland I finally found myself some Halophila tricostata. This species is only found in Queensland AND this one was flowering. It's not super rare but we don't see it often so I was very excited to find it off the Daintree!

Now that December fieldwork is over, it's time to bust out the seagrass reindeers, neptune ball decorations and of course make Franklin pose in his elf hat....

I'm a bit late to the party but very excited to see many old twitter friends here. I'm Abbi and I'm a researcher at James Cook University studying seagrass ecosystems and working with communities here in Cairns and Port-Douglas on coral reef stewardship projects.
