17.01.2022 Hi it’s Monique again. Without @Rem Bruijn, the founder and Creative Director of Brainheart, our Operation Eilish, De Niro & Harington would not be possible.

13.01.2022 The last six months the Coralwatch leaders (Diana and Monique) and the Bundaberg Ambassadors (Natalie, Rebecca and Jess Firth) worked hard on creating an educa...tional package about Coral Reefs that can be found on our doorstep here locally in Bundaberg and the Coral Coast, including Lady Musgrave. Fantastic work done by everyone involved. The final product looks amazing! Now to get it out there! If your interested in learning about CoralWatch, please contact one of us. We do school and community talks aswell. https://coralwatch.org/ #coralwatch #ladymusgrave #ladymusgraveexperience

13.01.2022 Always wondered who CoralWatch is. Meet Monique on the left and Diana on the right.

11.01.2022 Happy Thursday everybody, it is Monique here! Please join me in thanking our ‘Film Colourist’, Justin McDonald, with a ‘like’ or a ’thank you’ in the comments for once again generously donating his time and expertise pro-bono to help us help the reef. What is a colourist I hear you ask? Well it’s exactly as it sounds. Juzzy is the person who can control the colour of the footage in post production. A bit like what you can do on your phone when you ‘Edit’ a photo - although a ...lot more advanced and controllable. Why would we want to change the colour I hear you ask? Well in this case we didn’t want to. We’ll leave that for the tourism and other commercial entity ads ha ha. We wanted it to look as authentic and true to life as possible. But with the high quality digital cameras Damien and Jellan were shooting with, all the footage is captured in what is technically referred to as ‘Raw Format’. This means all the visual information is there but it looks really bland and ugly. It needs someone with Juzzy’s skill to make that happen. So there you go, a little bit of a sneak peek behind the production curtain to see how they do it! And Juzzy, thank you so much for joining our watch!

11.01.2022 Hi, Monique here. Our young local Bundaberg hero is back in the news. Seven-year-old Elijah Richardson is cleaning up the beaches on his doorstep and asks people to stop littering after collecting hundreds of cigarette butts in a matter of days. Many butts he picks up are only 15 steps away from the bin! Elijah became a self-made eco warrior by chance after becoming increasingly concerned by the amount of litter he saw near waterways. He talks to and learns from conservation ...groups like #CoralWatch and Tangaroa Blue Foundation. You can follow Elijah’s story on his page Elijah’s World https://www.bundabergnow.com//09/22/elijah-richardson-lit/ https://www.facebook.com/bundabergnow/videos/1550406935304663/?vh=e&extid=6uhmVnFUx9vX6o9i #citizenscienc #coral #reef #greatbarrierreef #queenslandscience #QBI #savereefs #savereefsfromhome #comejoinourwatch

07.01.2022 An international team of scientists have used CRISPR-Cas technology to identify a gene responsible for heat tolerance in a coral on the Great Barrier Reef. Like... a pair of genetic scissors, the team used the gene editing technology in coral larvae, effectively turning it off and confirming its role in how corals respond to warm water. The study paves the way for new genetic tools and knowledge for coral which would support their management and conservation in the future. Read more: bit.ly/2UcpGMs

07.01.2022 #coralwatch in first ever edition of Bundaberg Today !!! Hi Monique here. How cool is this? If you grab a copy of Bundy’s brand new ‘Bundaberg Today' publication today, you’ll find our youngest supporter, Elijah Richardson. At just 7 years old, Elijah is passionate about the reef and is already making a difference. ... But he is just one of the many awesome volunteers who put their faces behind our ‘Come join our Watch’ campaign. So thank you all! Because you turning up on Sunday, led to this article. One of the directors of Bundaberg Today saw our posts on Facebook and followed up to uncover the story.

03.01.2022 Hi, Monique here! A massive thank you to Cutting Edge Post for joining #CoralWatch's drive to get more people watching out for the reef, by helping us out with audio. In particular, Sound Engineer, #PatDwyer, who sifted through and cleaned up 18 people doing multiple takes (in a car!?!) of 3 x 90 second scripts. 1709 audio selects in total!!! In the words of sound boss, #Mikelange: HOLY MOLY there was sooooo much audio in there!!! Just wait till you get to mix it Mikey!... All of these people are volunteering their world class expertise for no financial reward, just the sake of the reef! So a big thank you to #TreliseBlade and her Cutting Edge Team.
