Atypical weather patterns cause coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef, Australia during the 2021–2022 La Niña [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Widespread coral bleaching was observed over the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, the world’s largest coral reef during the 2021–2022 La Niña. This raised concerns that background global warming may have crossed a critical threshold causing thermal stress ...

Catchment management and the Great Barrier Reef
Water Science and Technology, 2001 Pollution of coastal regions of the Great Barrier Reef is dominated by runoff from the adjacent catchment. Catchment land-use is dominated by beef grazing and cropping, largely sugarcane cultivation, with relatively minor urban development. Runoff of sediment, nutrients and pesticides is increasing and for nitrogen is now four times the natural amount ...

Challenges of sperm cryopreservation in transferring heat adaptation of corals across ocean basins [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Reef-building corals live very close to their upper thermal limits and their persistence is imperiled by a rapidly warming climate. Human interventions may be used to increase the thermal limits of sensitive corals by cross-breeding with heat-adapted ...

Illegal fishing and compliance management in marine protected areas: a situational approach
Crime Science, 2021 Protected Areas (PAs) are spatially representative management tools that impose various levels of protection for conservation purposes. As spatially regulated places, ensuring compliance with the rules represents a key element of effective management and

Predicting the location and spatial extent of submerged coral reef habitat in the Great Barrier Reef world heritage area, Australia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 AIM: Coral reef communities occurring in deeper waters have received little research effort compared to their shallow-water counterparts, and even such basic information as their location and extent are currently unknown throughout most of the world ...

Epifaunal invertebrate assemblages associated with branching Pocilloporids in Moorea, French Polynesia [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Reef-building corals can harbour high abundances of diverse invertebrate epifauna. Coral characteristics and environmental conditions are important drivers of community structure of coral-associated invertebrates; however, our current understanding of ...
