Reef Grief: investigating the relationship between place meanings and place change on the Great Barrier Reef, Australia

Sustainability Science, 2019
It is well established that ecosystems bring meaning and well-being to individuals, often articulated through attachment to place. Degradation and threats to places and ecosystems have been shown to lead to loss of well-being.

Impaired recovery of the Great Barrier Reef under cumulative stress

Science Advances, 2018
The GBR is losing its ability to recover from disturbances, but local management action can help partially restore this ability. Corals of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) have declined over the past 30 years.

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 ...

Deep reefs of the Great Barrier Reef offer limited thermal refuge during mass coral bleaching

Nature Communications, 2018
Our rapidly warming climate is threatening coral reefs as thermal anomalies trigger mass coral bleaching events. Deep (or “mesophotic”) coral reefs are hypothesised to act as major ecological refuges from mass bleaching, but empirical assessments are ...

Linking the Local and the Global. What Today’s Environmental Humanities Movement Can Learn from Their Predecessor’s Successful Leadership of the 1965–1975 War to Save the Great Barrier Reef

Humanities, 2017
For a decade from 1965–1975, an Australian poet, Judith Wright, and a Reef artist, John Busst, played a major role in helping to save the Great Barrier Reef. The Queensland State Government had declared its intention of mining up to eighty percent of the

An evidence-based approach for setting desired state in a complex Great Barrier Reef seagrass ecosystem: A case study from Cleveland Bay

Environmental and Sustainability Indicators, 2020
Implementing management actions to achieve environmental outcomes requires defining and quantifying ecological targets, but this is a complex challenge, and there are few examples of how to quantitatively set them in complex dynamic marine ecosystems ...

Spatial distribution of fibropapillomatosis in green turtles along the Queensland coast and an investigation into the influence of water quality on prevalence

Conservation Science and Practice, 2022
Fibropapillomatosis (FP) is a tumor‐forming disease which affects all species of marine turtle, but predominantly the green turtle (Chelonia mydas).
