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!

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 🐟
