Showcasing sustainable island management on the Great Barrier Reef: energy audits on Low Isle and Lady Elliot Island [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Island communities of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park are living in uncertainty in the face of climate change. In response to this particular situation, two Great Barrier Reef islands have taken the opportunity to trial some innovative environmental ...

Teal carbon eelgrass in tidal freshwater estuaries: successful laboratory trial before large‐scale field restoration

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Vallisneria, a freshwater angiosperm critical to aquatic biodiversity and teal carbon storage in Great Barrier Reef catchments, has declined due to habitat degradation and poor water quality. Scalable restoration approaches are urgently needed to support ecological and climate outcomes.

Fouling release coatings reduce colonisation of coral seeding devices

open access: yesScientific Reports
The increasing frequency and severity of coral bleaching underscores the need for effective coral reef restoration programs. These initiatives include deploying coral fragments or early recruits (spat), with large-scale coral seeding success dependent on

Imagining outcomes of coral restoration and adaptation intervention in the Great Barrier Reef

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Restoration initiatives are expanding globally to address climate and biodiversity threats and to help ecosystems adapt to environmental change. Research in Australia's Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is exploring novel intervention options to scale up restoration, protect corals from climate extremes, and accelerate their adaptation to heat stress.

Developing coral seeding devices and rapid deployment methods to scale up reef restoration

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Current coral restoration methods are constrained by several factors, including low survival rates and high costs of coral production and deployment, making it difficult to address ecosystem‐wide coral declines. This study introduces a new two‐part coral seeding concept to efficiently settle, transport, and deploy coral spat.
