Marine scientists recorded small increases in coral cover on the GBR according to underwater survey results released today.

Results shows reef sharks are functionally extinct on many coral reefs, but Australian populations are among the healthiest.

New research has taken scientists closer to being able to identify corals that are less likely to bleach. The scientists hope this knowledge will be used to target protection of resilient corals and facilitate research into adaptation measures such as selective breeding.

Scientists have discovered a significant coral bleaching event at one of Western Australia’s healthiest coral reefs.

New research has confirmed that corals reefs along the Kimberley coastline will not recover quickly from an extreme event such as mass coral bleaching, unless local populations survive.
