ENVIRONMENT & CLIMATEResearchers have been culling the crown-of-thorns starfish because they consume corals to help the Great Barrier Reef survive. Continue reading to learn more.
Hidden nutrient sources from submarine groundwater discharge impact the Great Barrier Reef, necessitating long-term conservation efforts and reevaluation of strategies. Read the article for more details.
Coral bleaching could have implications for the survival of certain fish species as it made it harder for them to identify competitors, which led to unnecessary fights. Read the article to learn more.
Marine biologists think that the rare jellyfish scuba divers found could be the Chirodectes maculatus that was last seen in 1997 at the Great Barrier Reef. Check out this unusual-looking jellyfish that could be a new species.
Experts attempt to develop probiotic nutrients that would cater to the improvement of life and survivability of coral populations around the globe. Read more about the problems coral reefs face and how will scientists try to solve them.
Scientists have recently found new hope from the striking footage of a coral spawning occurrence on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia as they, among those who had firsthand experience of the spawning said "it's like being in a reverse snowstorm."
Marine researchers developed a protection for the Great Barrier Reef from extreme heat brought by climate change through artificial cloud manipulation.
As coral reefs worldwide suffer from bleaching and mortality due to heat stress, a new study found that probiotics could give corals better health and prevent them from dying.
A new research conducted by a group of marine science experts have successfully developed enhanced microalgae with heat tolerance for the protection of coral reefs against coral bleaching.
Researchers in Australia are employing automated underwater vehicles (AUVs) called the COTSbot to control the outbreak of the crown-of-thorns destroying the Great Barrier Reef for many decades.
The Australian government faces pressure from global powers, investors, and environmentalists to preserve Koalas, the forest and achieve net-zero emissions.
Scientists identified a single gene that affects how corals respond to warmer ocean temperatures. Numerous studies have confirmed how coral reefs indicate how climate change has worsened in recent years due to bleaching or how they respond to stressors.
The latest survey at the Great Barrier Reef has shown that its populations - across small, medium, and large coral species - have generally declined over the last thirty years.
The use of probiotics has been regarded as effective in improving human and animal health, but it is only now that their use in marine biology is tested.
Watch incredible footage of a drone capturing approximately 64,000 green turtles floating along the Great Barrier Reef. The footage was used by researchers to count the numbers of the turtles to be used for research.
