Assessing the health of the National Marine Parks and Sanctuaries in #Victoria, #Australia (including of the amazing #PortPhillipBay, which I'm so lucky enough to live near).
Learn more about this ecological assessment (in this article in The Age) which presents some encouraging news on life in the sea and some fabulous images of the #marine #biodversity in Victorian coastal waters

As we (humans) get to grips with how to scale up #hydrogen as an energy source (and for energy storage) and as part replacement for #fossilfuels, this new research (once again) shows that #microbes have beaten us to it and evolved their own solutions for energy - in this case using hydrogen power.
This new research in Nature Microbiology explores how hydrogen in seawater supports growth of multiple and diverse #bacterial species.
Fof those (like me) in #Melbourne , you may be interested that the research also includes study of this process within #PortPhillipBay sediments.

A couple of nights ago just prior to sunset, nature treated #Melburnians to a show of #cloud formation that stretched over #PortPhillipBay!
These shots were taken along the #Esplinade #StKilda #melbourne.
The bay was also illuminated as the setting sun hit the water, to the west.
The clouds appeared to be a shimmering mix of silvers, greys and white.
Pic 4 shows a palm with what appears a radiating aura about it… a cool cloud formation 🤍🤍
#nature never ceases to amaze.
🙏💖

Well it was at #CheviotBeach which is in the #BassStrait side, not the #PortPhillipBay side
And, yeah, not a beach that it’s recommend that people go swimming at ~
