"Ein spät einsetzender Sommermonsun hat Teile des weltberühmten Korallenriffs vor der australischen Ostküste vor weiterer Hitze geschützt.
Als im Norden und Zentrum bereits erste Anzeichen einer neuen Korallenbleiche auftraten, brachten Wolken und Regen in den ersten Monaten des Jahres dringend nötige Abkühlung.
Das zeigt eine aktuelle Studie."

Small but promising signs of recovery on Great Barrier Reef
By Holly Richardson and Michael ClarkeSurveys show coral cover increased in several parts of the reef, partly due to monsoons bringing cooler weather.

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

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.

Wissenschaftler warnen vor einer massiven Korallenbleiche am Great Barrier Reef.
Das Great Barrier Reef vor der Nordostküste Australiens gehört zu den beeindruckendsten Naturwundern der Erde. Nun schlagen Wissenschaftler erneut Alarm. Das einzigartige Korallenriff könnte durch den aktuellen extremen El Niño vor einer seiner größten Herausforderungen stehen.

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.

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.

"" This is the new mission of the MV Steve Irwin: to inspire and educate, while also bringing some enjoyment, and instilling hope for our oceans and environment.""

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.
