#greatbarrierreef — Public Fediverse posts

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.

The researchers 'flying' and getting barrels on the reef for science
By James Tugwell

One of the researchers, who is often towed underwater to count fish and coral on the Great Barrier Reef, says it feels like flying.

Australian aboriginal stories say that the Great Barrier Reef was once dry land. It was then flooded by a Creator Being. Not sure about that Creator, but the reef was indeed once dry land — 13,000 years ago. Which suggests that the stories have survived since then…

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.

Hairy new #fish species discovered in the Great Barrier Reef https://phys.org/news/2026-05-hairy-fish-species-great-barrier.html

Solenostomus snuffleupagus sp. nov., a hairy ghost #pipefish from the Southwest Pacific, with an integrative comparison to S. paegnius https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jfb.70497

"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."

🐘🌊 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.

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.
