A new paper from Dr C. Isabel Núñez Lendo shows nearly half of reef-building corals face elevated relative risk of extinction.

Millions of coral larvae on the Great Barrier Reef have an increased chance of replenishing degraded reefs thanks to the 'larval seedbox' – a coral restoration technology developed by CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, with Southern Cross University.

The choices the Australian government makes in the next 12 months will decide the Great Barrier Reef’s fate, say the Australian Marine Conservation Society, following the release of the Long Term Monitoring Program report today by the Australian Institute of Marine Science.

Today's Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) Great Barrier Reef coral monitoring report shows a slight improvement in hard coral cover, although most of the surveys were conducted before the reef suffered the extreme mass coral bleaching event over summer, according to the Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS).

Latest CSIRO research shows that the fifth major bleaching event since 2016 is still unfolding, but bleaching was just one of the disturbances on the reef over summer.

Marine heatwaves are killing coral and denuding reefs of their colourful beauty – but in a world where everything is food for something else, these heatwaves also pose a major threat to biodiversity.

In some rare good news for the Great Barrier Reef, Southern Cross University has joined forces with tourism operators and US philanthropists to make the most of the Whitsundays’ recent bumper coral spawning.

As we witness the ongoing destruction of the Great Barrier Reef by global warming and climate change, new data showing an increase in coral cover in some areas of the Reef is promising news.

Coral populations have genetic potential to adapt to warming oceans, according to new research by Southern Cross University.
