Start of the 2025 NSW Coastal Conference, pretty sweet venue with great views over the Richmond River.
Excited to learn more and share some of my own research!

Winter estuary #eDNA surveys DONE!
The NSW south coast is a special place, even had a fur seal joining us in the Bega River on the last day.
Finished the trip with a new tradition: a dip in the stunning (but cold) ocean pool in Bermaguie

Fieldwork time! Currently conducting #eDNA surveys in southern NSW to study estuarine biodiversity.
It's been great fun working with the Jerrinja (Shoalhaven River) and Walbunja (Clyde River) rangers this week!

I finally have some time to start exploring the BIG #eDNA dataset I've been collecting the past year, and it is looking spicy!
>7000 taxa in 33 estuaries (>2,000 samples) across 1,100km of coastline = great step towards mapping biodiversity in Australian estuaries

Just completed 3 weeks in the field assessing the impacts of the floods caused by tropical cyclone Alfred
Estuaries in northern NSW copped it pretty bad. First #eDNA results expected mid May

#eDNA conference in New Zealand, monitoring estuaries in Australia, and now looking for new species of pipefish in the Philippines...
The past 3 weeks have been busy but very varied!

@iucnseahorse.bsky.social @amandavincent.bsky.social more interesting discussions about eDNA and Red Listing!
