Last week I had the enormous pleasure and privilege to talk all things Reef science with @lcysmth and @DoctorKarl on @triplej. We talked about sawfish, jellyfish, corals and much more. You can listen to the show here.

The @gbrmarinepark along with @aims_gov_au and @csiro released the Reef snapshot 2021-22, which provides a summary of how the #Reef has fared over the past summer, what this means for coral and the actions being taken to help #coralhealth. Learn more: bit.ly/3wdKohD.

Reef health update for Friday 8 April 2022. Despite the fact that summer is now over a month behind us, the coral bleaching event, and our understanding of it, are still unfolding. Visit bit.ly/3DyBgG2 for more information
I think this says it all...

Reef health update for Friday 18 March 2022: Sea surface temperatures remain above average. Future weather patterns will be critical in determining the severity of coral bleaching across the Marine Park. bit.ly/3DyBgG2. #ReefAuthority continuing to monitor the situation

In recognition of International Women's Day I would like to offer my respect and thanks to the amazing women who work to protect the Great Barrier Reef- Traditional Custodians, marine park managers, scientists, tourism staff, land managers- you are all fantastic!

So many critically important messages in the latest report from the IPCC on 'impacts, adaptation and vulnerability'. I think the most important is probably right at the end:
From the Reef Authority position statement on climate change: "Only the strongest and fastest possible actions to decrease global greenhouse gas emissions will reduce the risks and limit the impacts of climate change on the Reef."

Reef Health update for 25 Feb 2022.
Continued milder conditions through the latter half of February have kept sea surface temperatures about average across most of the Marine Park. Read the complete update here bit.ly/3rhgc1O

Reef Health update for week ending Friday 11 February 2022. Extensive cloud cover and heavy rainfall in the past few weeks have cooled Reef waters bringing some much needed relief. More info here: bit.ly/3rhgc1O
