I'd firstly like to thank Bernie Degnan, Sandie Degnan and Greg Skilleter for providing us with this amazing opportunity to work on the invertebrates of the Great Barrier Reef, it's been an amazing experience. I'd also like to thank the tutors, Andrew Calcino, Jabin Watson, Federico Gaiti and Ben Yuen for their considerable help and guidance collecting samples, gathering information and getting those awesome microscope and fluorescence images.
Thank you!
