This research investigates the diversity and behaviour of zooplankton around Rangitāhua, Aotearoa New Zealand. By combining microscopy and underwater acoustics, it identifies species and tracks their daily vertical migrations. The findings will improve understanding of marine ecosystems, climate change impacts, and support Ngāti Kuri's stewardship of this culturally significant region.

This research aims to create Sri Lanka's first national seahorse database by combining expert knowledge, fisheries surveys, community engagement, and underwater fieldwork. The resulting evidence will identify species distributions, trade pressures, and conservation priorities, supporting marine protected areas and more effective policies to safeguard vulnerable seahorses and coastal ecosystems.

This research examines how different sea turtle species uniquely shape marine ecosystems through their feeding behaviors. Studying green, loggerhead, and Kemp’s ridley turtles along Florida’s Gulf Coast, the work reveals species-specific ecological functions involving seagrass grazing, sediment mixing, and food web interactions that contribute to ecosystem resilience and coastal conservation.
