20.01.2022 So saying its a sad reality that we have to build another Bank At least its a Biobank and the savings are Corals And the dividend is a living reef artefact. Any real Change is better than no change. Small change in terms of the real cost.

15.01.2022 A world-leading project to preserve coral biodiversity. As coral reefs worldwide decline due to climate change, severe storm events and coral disease, Australia...n non-profit organisation Great Barrier Reef Legacy has partnered with Cairns Marine and Corals of the World to safeguard the biodiversity of all known hard coral species by creating the worlds first LIVING CORAL BIOBANK. Our plan is to collect and keep alive all hard coral species from around the world in a state of the art holding facility in Port Douglas in a type of ‘coral ark’ to maintain the living biodiversity of corals and their algal and bacterial symbionts before it’s too late say Dr Dean Miller Managing Director of GBR Legacy and Project Coordinator. Corals of the World Director and project partner, the godfather of coral Dr Charlie Veron, is key to the success of the project as he is one of few people worldwide that can identify corals to species level underwater. My entire professional career has been dedicated to collecting and identifying the world’s coral species. I’ve done this many times for science; this time I’m doing it for the coral’s very survival. Without question this is the most important project we can be undertaking for corals and coral reefs and the most important project I have been involved with personally says Dr Veron. The Project will also use public aquariums and home aquarium collectors to hold and maintain backup fragments all over the world, creating the largest collaborative preservation network of corals.

03.01.2022 We have witnessed 2 consecutive Mass Coral bleaching events which would not have occurred without the influence of climate change. The emissions of greenhouse gases, through the burning of coal and other fossil fuels, is driving the underwater heatwaves and ocean acidity that pose the most serious threat to the survival of the reef.

All Acropora species which show growth we can measure best. The experiment continues into summer's wet season La nina or El nino can make a huge variation Cloud cover and shade are our best situation And all is not lost as in the depths it's still cooler See more
