Perceptions of Australian marine protected area managers regarding the role, importance, and achievability of adaptation for managing the risks of climate change

Ecology and Society, 2014
The rapid development of adaptation as a mainstream strategy for managing the risks of climate change has led to the emergence of a broad range of adaptation policies and management strategies globally. However, the success of such policies or management

Fluorescence color diversity of great barrier reef corals [PDF]

Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, 2015
A group of variously colored proteins belonging to the green fluorescent protein (GFP) family are responsible for coloring coral tissues. Corals of the Great Barrier Reef were studied with the custom-built fiber laser fluorescence spectrometers. Spectral

Keeping the ‘Great’ in the Great Barrier Reef: large-scale governance of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park

International Journal of the Commons, 2014
As part of an international collaboration to compare large-scale commons, we used the 'Social-Ecological Systems Meta-Analysis Database' (SESMAD) to systematically map out attributes of and changes in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (GBRMP) in ...

Biomineralization of primary carbonate cements: a new biosignature in the fossil record from the Anisian of Southern Italy

Lethaia, EarlyView., 2021
Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)

Large-scale movement and reef fidelity of grey reef sharks. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Despite an Indo-Pacific wide distribution, the movement patterns of grey reef sharks (Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos) and fidelity to individual reef platforms has gone largely unstudied.

Connectivity and systemic resilience of the Great Barrier Reef. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2017
Australia's iconic Great Barrier Reef (GBR) continues to suffer from repeated impacts of cyclones, coral bleaching, and outbreaks of the coral-eating crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS), losing much of its coral cover in the process. This raises the question

Genetically Engineering Coral for Conservation: Psychological Correlates of Public Acceptability

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Coral bleaching contributes to widespread reef loss globally, including Australia’s World Heritage site, the Great Barrier Reef. Synthetic biology offers the potential to isolate and cultivate strains of coral that can naturally withstand higher sea ...

Understanding fluctuating climate change risk perceptions through the lens of trust: a study of Great Barrier Reef region residents

npj Climate Action
Public perceptions of climate change risks are fundamental to public support for climate action. From a decade of surveying residents in the Great Barrier Reef region (2013–2023; n = 9920), we found that climate risk perceptions have fluctuated markedly,
