Coffs Harbour creeks downstream of blueberry farms are heavily polluted with nitrate. @H2O_scientist PhD not only identified the problem, but trialed solutions! Story teaser here: fb.watch/89kavtnEHi/ Watch full story @abclandline by @claudiajambor - 12:30pm Sunday

Happy #InternationalDogDay ! We adopted this not so little goofball from the RSPCA at the start of the pandemic. Despite the many a shoe and daybed chewed, Donnie has brightened our lives and given us many a laugh during these difficult times ❤

A great deep dive into whale carcasses by @abcnews Very timely with the latest stranding in South Australia. #sharks #whales #research #carcass abc.net.au/news/science/2021…
When a dead whale washes up, it's like the beach has won the lottery

When a dead whale washes up, it's like the beach has won the lottery

Authors tagged ~8–20% of immature Australasian #whiteshark population & demonstrate that environmental factors have little effect on their occurrence along NSW beaches. Study also indicates that lack of controls can lead to misinterpretation of data. bit.ly/meps_653_167

While I really love my #sharks I also love my freshwater fish species. For my #FreshVsSaltyFish submission here's a local species, the beautiful Empire Gudgeon (Hypseleotris compressa) in full colour. Ps. Please ignore the photobomb by an Ornate Rainbowfish 😂
