We are proud to sponsor the Student Networking Night at this year's Australian Marine Sciences Association conference and look forward to meeting the students tomorrow night. #studentnight #networking

If you are a researcher who wants to build bridges with philanthropists, we invite you to attend Dr Charlotte Birkmanis' talk at the Australian Marine Sciences Association conference. #philanthrophy #research #science #presentation

One of our key research focuses is developing and encouraging blue carbon projects, an important method of sequestering atmospheric carbon. Although in their infancy in Australia, blue carbon projects are a little further advanced in other locations. To learn more about the Foundation's blue carbon initiatives and the projects we're investing in alongside our partner Khaki Investments, please visit our website. https://lnkd.in/gsVnGAxZ #philanthropy #bluecarbon #research

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 to all 15 students who shared in a total of $125,000 through the 2024 Robson and Robertson Awards at the UWA Oceans Institute. We are proud to support marine early career researchers in their studies on a variety of topics: 🏆 Experimentally resolving the forces from misaligned waves and current 🏆 Decadal changes in seaweed communities and ecosystem functions 🏆 Enhancing adaptive genetic variation through selective breeding 🏆 A comparative study of tourists visiting Pacific Island destinations 🏆 Unleashing marine microbes in the battle against plastic pollution 🏆 Unravelling flowering phenology and seed ecology of tropical seagrasses 🏆 Valuing beaches and coastlines to improve coastal management 🏆 Saving the taxonomic knowledge of glass sponges 🏆 Population genomics of tiger sharks 🏆 Bioengineered structures to mitigate wave-driven flooding and erosion 🏆 Hydrodynamic models for resonant wave energy converters 🏆 Enhancing coastal resilience by greening the grey 🏆 Monitoring marine heatwaves and identification of climate refugia 🏆 Pushing beyond field and convention in carbon burial experimentation 🏆 Stakeholders interactions in transboundary maritime cooperation The 'R&R' Awards honour Emeritus Professors Alan Robson and Alistar Roberton, the founders of The UWA Oceans Institute. The awards were initiated in 2017 and supported by the Jock Clough Marine Foundation. #awards #postgraduate #marinescience #philanthrophy

At the Foundation, we welcome new ideas. We are committed to empowering ocean champions and partnering with marine scientists to translate research into practical solutions for a healthier ocean. Depending on the marine science involved and the scope, the Foundation offers a range of grants, including one-time, multi-year, or ongoing support for longer-term initiatives. To explore partnership opportunities, please visit our website for more information. #conservation #marinebiology #funding #research

We are proud to sponsor the Student Social Networking Night at the 2024 joint Australian Marine Sciences Association (AMSA) and New Zealand Marine Sciences Society (NZMSS) conference. The event brings together marine scientists and managers from Australia, New Zealand, and the Indo-Pacific under the theme ‘Navigating Uncertainty for a Future Sustainable Ocean’. As part of the conference, the Student Social Networking Night provides the opportunity for students and potential mentors to connect and network in an informal setting. By helping students build their networks, we are investing in the future of marine conservation. https://lnkd.in/ghHDrqjY #MarineScience #AMSA #Philanthrophy #PostGrad #Networking

We are proud to support projects that help make a difference in marine conservation, whether that is through research, education or communication. That is why we are supporting White Rock, a documentary showing the devastation caused by long-spined sea urchins devouring Australia’s southern kelp forests - leaving nothing but white rock in their wake. The film follows fishers, Traditional Owners and scientists working together to help restore this ecosystem using in-water urchin control, First Nations management, habitat rehabilitation and emerging urchin industries. Presented by the Great Southern Reef Foundation, White Rock premieres in New York at the United Nations General Assembly in September, followed by an Australian tour to raise awareness of our Great Southern Reef. https://lnkd.in/gtBZE4KD Photos: Great Southern Reef Foundation #philanthrophy #MarineConservation #collaboration

We are excited to unveil our new website showcasing our most significant initiatives. At The Jock Clough Marine Foundation, we are committed to marine conservation. We fund marine science education, research, and targeted conservation projects in Australia, neighbouring regions and the Indian Ocean. The Foundation also assists young scientists in furthering their post-graduate studies, and public education initiatives.
