  1. The Albanese Government is accepting public submissions on Woodside’s Browse Gas Project for the first time in eight years. This is a rare opportunity to demand that the project’s climate impacts on the Great Barrier Reef are properly assessed before any decision is made. New evidence suggests Browse’s emissions could contribute to the loss of millions of coral colonies during future bleaching events. Add your name before submissions close on 21 July.

  10. So my tinfoil hat theory about the desire for foreign owned companies buying up islands in the #greatbarrierreef is that they are banking on the eventual ecological collapse and want a foot hold on the mining rights.

  14. Hairy new #fish species discovered in the Great Barrier Reef phys.org/news/2026-05-hairy-fi

    Solenostomus snuffleupagus sp. nov., a hairy ghost #pipefish from the Southwest Pacific, with an integrative comparison to S. paegnius onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10

    "These close relatives of seahorses and sea dragons often closely match the color of their surroundings and develop skin filaments that look like algae or coral."

  15. 🐘🌊 Marine biologist David Harasti officially identified the hairy ghost #pipefish after 20 years of searching the #GreatBarrierReef.

    Named Solenostomus snuffleupagus for its shaggy resemblance to the #SesameStreet character, this master of #camouflage uses thick skin filaments to blend into #coral, evading researchers for decades.

  19. Deepwater discoveries: #scientists find more than 110 new #fish and #invertebrate species in the #CoralSea
    Brittlestars, sea anemones and a catshark among new-to-science species collected during expedition off the Queensland coast
    The species were found in waters between 200 metres and 3km deep in the Coral Sea marine park, #Australia’s largest #marineprotectedarea, which spans nearly 1m sq km to the east of the #GreatBarrierReef.

    She will be stationed (?) at Williamstown in MEL (just to mix the metaphore) and hopes to do regular work up the East Coast to the Barrier Reef.
