Adult fragments of a coral species can better tolerate bleaching and recover faster when treated with tougher heat-evolved symbionts.
Portable aquariums that can be set up in remote areas to each propagate up to 100,000 young corals at a time for reef restoration will be developed by the Australian Institute of Marine Science.
The Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) is exploring how a seaweed called Sargassum could reduce the severity of climate change by storing carbon in tropical seascapes.
New research suggests that exposure to a single seismic survey is unlikely to increase mortality or affect pearl production in adults of an oyster species farmed in Australian waters.
A partnership between AIMS, CDU and several Northern Territory Ranger groups will look to tackle the effects of climate change on North Australia’s turtle population.
Innovative AIMS-developed coral reef monitoring technology is being adopted in the Philippines.
