Hi BlueSky! I’m Nina, a marine ecologist from the University of Adelaide working on plastic pollution and ocean education. 🐟🧜🏼‍♀️

I love anything to do with being underwater! I also love #scicomm and #sciart and just came back from running our fish pottery lab meeting. 🎨
📢New paper 🚨

Our first paper for 2025 is out! We looked at #microplastics in dried and fresh fish from seafood markets in Sri Lanka 🐟🇱🇰

Updates on our lab group #fish #pottery for those interested at home… 🐳🧜🏼‍♀️🐚

What’s that saying about working both the #art and #science parts of our brains to fuel innovation?

I haven't seen one yet, so I created a Plastic, Microplastic, etc starter pack. Let me know if you want to be added or know of others to add. go.bsky.app/Ld46AhM

The Australian Society for Fish Biology is Australia's fish science community association (similar to AFS in the north America). They've recently migrated to Bluesky, give them a follow if you're interested in knowing what Australian fish science is doing!

A summary of Gretta Pecl’s excellent talk at #ASFB on the Sea Change Australia project. This project (amongst many other things!) aims to have two-way climate conversations with seafood industry leaders. 🔥🌏🐠

What sampling method should we use to find fish?! It depends on what you are trying to find, but ideally we use a combination…

Great talk by Dan Yeoh at #ASFB2024

Hindsight in fisheries is a great thing…

Inspiring talk by the K Radway Allen award at #ASFB2024, A/Prof Tony Fowler. Record levels of catch, paired with low recruitment years = collapsed snapper fishery 🐟
