  1. Couple elopes to island paradise amid trend for simple micro weddings
    By Grace Whiteside and Johanna Marie

    As soon as Jackie and Hayden Nuttall exchanged marriage vows, they pulled on their wetsuits for a blissful snorkel in paradise, as small, no-fuss weddings gain popularity.

  2. It doesn't look dangerous, but this sneaky snail causes enormous damage
    By Johanna Marie and Grace Whiteside

    The Drupella snail doesn't look threatening, but it is such a danger to Queensland's reefs that tourism operators have helped cull hundreds of thousands of them as part of a management plan.

  3. Bleached coral's 'incredible recovery' as cyclone cools water temperature
    By Grace Whiteside and Johanna Marie

    Cyclone Alfred's slow approach to Queensland in 2025 created cooler sea temperatures that helped 90 per cent of damaged coral around Lady Elliot Island to recover. Now there's hope of a new spawning event.

  4. Meine Kollegin ist mit ihrer Familie gerade in Australien. Sie gehört vielleicht zu den wenigen, die das Große Barriereriff vor dem Absterben noch sehen können.

    Das #GreatBarrierReef könnte durch den extremen #ElNiño erneut von einer großflächigen #Korallenbleiche betroffen sein.

    Meeresbiologen warnen vor schweren Folgen für das Ökosystem und einem möglichen lokalen #Artensterben.

  5. Das #GreatBarrierReef erlebt den schwersten #Korallenverlust seit fast 40 Jahren.

    Hohe #Wassertemperaturen, #Wirbelstürme und #Dornenkronenseesterne haben große Teile der #Hartkorallen zerstört.

    Besonders betroffen ist der südliche Abschnitt, wo die Bedeckung um fast ein Drittel sank.

  6. Korallenbleiche im Great Barrier Reef erreicht Rekordausmaß

    Das 2.300 Kilometer lange Great Barrier Reef vor der Küste Australiens gehört zum UNESCO-Weltnaturerbe. Doch der Klimawandel setzt ihm immer mehr zu. Wissenschaftler blicken mit Sorge in die Zukunft. Von Udo Schmidt.

  7. Kühles Wasser aus der Tiefe schützt Teile des Great Barrier Reef vor der #Korallenbleiche.🐠

    ostsee-zeitung.de/panorama/gre

    Riffe wie die Ribbon oder Swains Riffe profitieren vom sogenannten Auftriebsphänomen, das kaltes Wasser an die Oberfläche bringt.

    Diese „Zufluchtsorte“ könnten laut Forschern bis in die 2080er vor #Hitzewellen geschützt bleiben. 🌊

  8. Die nördlichen Teile des Great Barrier Reefs haben nach extremer #Hitze, zwei Zyklonen und #Überschwemmungen schwere Schäden erlitten.

    theguardian.com/environment/20

    In einigen Bereichen, wie bei Lizard Island, ging der #Hartkorallenbestand um mehr als ein Drittel zurück – der größte Verlust seit 39 Jahren.

    Klimawandelbedingte #Meereserwärmung führt immer häufiger zu #Korallenbleiche, die das #Ökosystem an seine Belastungsgrenzen bringt.

  9. Anstieg der Wassertemperatur: Am Great Barrier Reef droht ein Massensterben

    Es ist eines der großen Naturwunder: das Great Barrier Reef vor Australien. Einer neuen Studie zufolge war das Meereswasser dort nie so warm wie jetzt. Es drohe ein endgültiges Massensterben der Korallen, so Forscher.

  10. Restoring tropical reefs of the Great Barrier Reef and Small Island Nations and avoiding ecological imperialism and ongoing colonialism

    "Between1820 and 1930, over 50 million Europeans colonised a relatively small number of countries including the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South American countries such as Argentina and Uruguay."

    The" traditional owners of the land saw this process as an invasion whereby the invaders not only occupied their land and sea country but set out to actively re-model their traditional ecosystems...Colonisers justified the persistent push to import the familiar plants and animals from the homeland given the unfamiliarity of newly colonised landscapes and climates, as well as their lack of knowledge of how to harness the local flora and fauna for food, fibre, clothes and transportation."

    "Colonisers proactively sought to make their new home like their old home based on their Western concept of what a ‘natural’ landscape should look like. Cattle and sheep were widely introduced and distributed across the new nation...Acclimatisation Society commenced in 1862 and was operating up until 1956 to introduce new crops to the colonies...This rural industry development caused the significant flow-on effect of biodiversity loss. In Australia alone, twenty species of mammals have been declared extinct, and nearly half of marsupial and monotreme species are now on the extinct, endangered or vulnerable list ..."

  15. Es ist nicht ganz klar, wann der #Kipppunkt beim #Kippelement #Korallen erreicht wurde, aber zumindest seit den 1990er-Jahren treten große #Korallenbleichen in zu kurzen Abständen auf. Vielleicht wurde der Kipppunkt etwa in den 2000er-Jahren erreicht. In 20 Jahren gibt es dazu vielleicht eine abschließende Studie, die die toten Korallen dann allerdings nicht mehr lesen können.
