@coral.coe researchers recently surveyed some of the most remote reefs in the Coral Sea as part of an ongoing partnership with @ausmarineparks. Monitoring these reefs helps us identify ecological changes over time in this region.

The #GBR is made of >3,000 #reefs. After 5 mass #bleaching events since 1998, only 2% of reefs have escaped bleaching. 80% have bleached severely since 2016. #climatechange #COP26 @jamescookuniversity

Ever wonder why your favourite #fishing spot beats the rest? A new study led by #CoralCoE @jamescookuniversity's @renatomoraismineiro found these "sweet spots" are often driven by plankton & plankton-eating #fish! @patrick_smallhornwest

Great minds are thinking alike to preserve the iconic #Yongala wreck ⚓ In a partnership first, the museum and @coral.coe are bringing together two disciplines of science - coral research and maritime archaeology – to map one of the most historic shipwrecks in Australian waters 🌊
.
The aim of the project is to collect both baseline archaeological and ecological data at the same time, which can be used to inform conservation efforts and future management plans of the site.

Oceans are in trouble but we are still uncovering the full extent of the impact climate change has on marine ecosystems.
.
In a recent study, researchers at @Coral.CoE led by Jorge Alvarez-Romero have found that ocean warming can disrupt ecological connectivity through changes in larval dispersal, which is critical for recovery after ecosystem disturbances. Maintaining connectivity in warmer oceans will require more & larger marine reserves closer together.

Only 3 days left until COP26 begins! It's time to take swift actions to tackle climate change. In 2016 & 2017, mass coral bleaching events occurred in two consecutive years for the first time. These events resulted mass coral mortality across 2 thirds of the Great Barrier Reef and were followed by yet another mass bleaching event in 2020. Let's unite and support policies that implement the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

n 2016 #CoralCoE lost an amazing friend & colleague, Dr. Sylvain Forêt. Recently, a newly described #coral species has been named after him: Flabellum (Ulocyathus) foreti.
Thank you Dr. Kitahara for the beautiful tribute to a man who inspired so many.

3 cheers for #CoralCoE's Chief Operations Officer, Jenny Lappin!
It's been an AMAZING 15 years with us & 32 years @jamescookuniversity! We'll miss your wonderful laugh, smile, & guidance around the office, but we know you have some fantastic adventures planned for retirement! We wish you all the best!
#Bleaching events have changed the structure, #biodiversity, & functioning of #reefs. A new #CoralCoE study led by Juliano Morais highlights the need for caution when documenting the susceptibility & perceived resistance/recovery of #corals to disturbances. @jamescookuniversity

Some gorgeous coral cover on the reef crest at North Direction Island, northern Great Barrier Reef. These reefs have recovered remarkably well over the last few years following multiple cyclones, crown of thorns starfish outbreaks and several marine heatwaves! Fingers crossed for more time for the slower growing corals to bounce back too! #coralreef #naturalrecovery #recruitment #corals #acropora #naturalbeauty #nature #wildlife #marinelife #tropicaloceans #divelife #phdresearch #lizardisland #lirs

Returning from fieldwork with @australianmarinescience in the Wapabara country, also known as the Keppel Islands. These islands lie towards the southern edge of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, and despite being relatively close to the coast support rich coral assemblages.
