All things #ocean. First love is #syngnathids and #tinyfish. Trying my hand at #remotescience in #timorleste. Interested in a wide range of fields - from tiny critter taxonomy to deep-sea exploration and everything in between. #teamfish #teaminvert
Happy to finally share the species recovery action strategy for one of the coolest #tinyfish I know - Syngnathus watermeyeri. Check out the strategy, new #iucnredlist and first ever #greenststatus. Funding support thanks to @insidenatgeo.bsky.social #pipefish #syngnathids #southafrica

I stumbled upon this cool #crab during a night dive in #timorleste - and can swear that it’s ‘shell’ is made up of tiny pebbles stuck together. Am I hallucinating?! #teaminvert #crustaceans @jopabinia.bsky.social

Might have missed most of #nudivember - but found these guys today to join the party! #timorleste #nudibranch #teaminvert #seaslugs

New publication alert! Ever wondered what it takes to do #offshore research when you don’t have a big ship or loads of funds? We used #palau as a case study to navigate #largescaleocean #science in a #pacific #smallislanddevelopingstate. Check it out!

Made the jump from the other place and awesome to see all the cool #ocean peeps over here! Keen to dive into #remotescience looking at #fish and other #marinecritters in #timorleste - watch this space.
