I am excited to kick start #marine research at The University of South Australia, Future Industries Institute, with a new project on #octopus. We were lucky enough to recruit new post doc, Jasmin Martino, for the project too. Over the next 12 months, we work with an octopus fisher to explore the abundance and diversity of #octopus in remote #SouthAustralia, which will help inform the sustainable management of octopus fisheries. We will also investigate whether marine protected areas boost octopus numbers in the region. Looking forward to getting back in the field to support both industry and the conservation of octopus! #womeninSTEM
