AMSA Conference 2025

Congrats to @caseylbowden.bsky.social winner of the #AMSA2025 MFR Best Student Presentation Award, sponsored by #MarineFreshwaterRes!
Casey's research focuses on how fishes may be influenced by water flow across small reef areas.
We're excited to see where she goes next!

Thanks for having us #AMSA2025 - we’ve loved capturing some moments with you!

A wonderful week at #AMSA2025!

My key takeaway:
We have the data. We have the solutions. Now let’s act to protect and restore our oceans 💧

Slideshow showing the schedule of talks for the day. My name and title are the last on the list.

My presentation is today in the Physical Oceanography session! I'm talking about creating a biological index to track variability in the East Australia Current using copepod data! #amsa2025

Two organisations that do an amazing job translating marine science for different audiences - Deakin Marine and NESP Marine and Coastal Hub at #AMSA2025

Come see how our underwater set-up works over lunch! Swing by the Ascent Media booth at #AMSA2025 this afternoon @amsaconf.bsky.social

What impact are temperature changes having on life in our oceans? Jasmine Ascensio from Flinders University has been researching microbes and sharks with the hope of educating people on the impact humans are having on our oceans @amsaconf.bsky.social #AMSA2025

Even more cool tech on display at #AMSA2025 - RBR Global helps monitor temperature, depth, salinity, dissolved gases, pH and more with their sensor technology. "From the ocean abyss to the polar ice cap".

We couldn't resist an opportunity to see the cuttlefish migration in South Australia this month and been having great chats at #AMSA2025 about it. We're also thinking of everyone working hard on managing the algal bloom outbreak and the impact it's having on South Australia.

The Minderoo Foundation is advancing marine genomics and environmental DNA (eDNA) technologies through their OceanOmics program - nice to meet them this week at the @amsaconf.bsky.social #AMSA2025

Are you in Melbourne for #AMSA2025 ? Come listen to my talk at 11 am (session 1.2) about our low-cost autonomous hydrophone initiative!

Great #AMSA2025 workshop yesterday exploring the breadth of ocean observations collected by @imos-aus.bsky.social and freely available to support marine researchers, decision-makers, industry and First Nations. Attendees learned how to access, visualise & integrate IMOS data with their datasets

Absolute favourite quote from Professor Emma Lee at #amsa2025 : What can you do in your sphere of influence

If you're at #AMSA2025 come say hi - let us show you all the gear we use underwater 🐠

Excited for a week of marine science at #amsa2025!

Nice to meet Russell Kelley at #AMSA2025 - his guides help people identify coral using a unique visual index.

He also told us about his history in the production world - fun to talk about how far underwater gear and tech has come.

Boxfish Robotics make robots for underwater - so cool to see their Autonomous Resident Underwater Drone at #AMSA2025

Yesterday Sonja Repetti brought these amazing 3D models of algae. Such a great way to help visualise microscopic organisms #amsa2025

Sea Change Australia’s Project Manager and Research Fellow Dr Julia Santana Garcon’s talk “Sea Change Australia: Empowering the fisheries and aquaculture sectors towards climate resilience” in Session 6.4 is on today (3:30 - 5pm) at the #AMSA2025 conference in Melbourne 🐟 @imas-utas.bsky.social

Excited to listen to A/Prof Nevill Barrett talking about lessons from 3 decades of MPA and coastal reef monitoring #amsa2025

Forgot the tag! #amsa2025

Michael, JB and Sam are meeting marine scientists, researchers and experts from all across Australia at the @amsaconf.bsky.social - We've learned about seals, seaweed and life on Antarctic ships so far. Thanks to everyone who has dropped by for a chat.

Echoview Software works with hundreds of research institutes across the world to help them with advanced hydroacoustic studies. They help you read and analyse echograms, track and count fish so you can examine their behaviour over time...cool stuff! @amsaconf.bsky.social #AMSA2025

Can you handle the tooth? Lochlan Paterson-Crisp has been looking at the teeth of carnivores like seals and otters to find out whether sinking your teeth in truly is the best way to survive. Lochlan shared this research with us at one of the @amsaconf.bsky.social #AMSA2025 poster sessions.
