25.01.2022 Don’t forget to have your say on our plans to protect the Great Barrier Reef for the next 30 years. The Queensland and Australian governments are reviewing the ...Reef 2050 Long-Term Sustainability Plan to ensure that it continues to focus on the right priorities and actions to support the health and resilience of the Reef. The draft updated Reef 2050 Plan includes a greater emphasis on climate change and its impact on the Reef. It also seeks to empower communities to take stronger action to protect the Reef. The Reef is under significant pressure but with strong local, national and global action to address the greatest threats, it can be sustained as a living natural and cultural wonder of the world. Consultation on the draft plan closes on 30 September 2020. Have your say at https://haveyoursay.awe.gov.au/reef-2050-plan #Reef2050Plan

14.01.2022 Happy Father's Day (cue the Dad jokes!) Here in #Australia there are some fantastic #wildlife fathers, read more about them below 1 Emu - Dad incubates the ...egg without drinking, feeding, defecating or leaving the nest. Chicks stay with their father for around four months. 2 Giant Water Bugs - not only does the male carry all the fertilised eggs upon his back, he strokes them lovingly with his back legs to ensure a steady flow of fresh water passes over them. 3 Seahorses - after the mama seahorse deposits eggs into his pouch, it’s dad who fertilises, incubates and gives birth to their offspring. 4 Cassowary - Dad incubates and guards the eggs for 50 days, then raises the chicks solely. Tag your special Dad and share your best dad jokes with us in the comments below! What is our favourite Dad joke... What do you call a lazy baby kangaroo?

12.01.2022 [REEFBITES ALERT] 2020 has been one of the most difficult years for humanity not only because we are facing a worldwide pandemic but also because many of our UN...'s Biodiversity targets were not met. Specifically for the coral community, we are saddened that Target 10: By 2015, the multiple anthropogenic pressures on coral reefs, and other vulnerable ecosystems impacted by climate change or ocean acidification are minimized, so as to maintain their integrity and functioning, was not met in either 2015 nor 2020. Read our latest article by Carla Elliff to learn more about these targets and how we're moving forward.
