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

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐟🐘 A fuzzy red-and-orange #fish spotted off #PapuaNewGuinea has been identified as a new ghost #pipefish species named Solenostomus snuffleupagus after #SesameStreet’s Mr. #Snuffleupagus. Researchers confirmed it through measurements, CT scans, and #DNA, and found its scruffy look likely mimics floating #algae for #camouflage.

The Great Barrier Reef isn’t dead yet. According to News Corp that makes climate science a ‘pseudo-religion’ | Temperature Check
By Graham Readfearn‘High coral cover is evidence of recovery and resilience, not evidence that the disturbances causing mortality didn’t happen,’ scientist says

"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."

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.

#Korallen sind farbenprächtig, vielfältig, faszinierend – und plötzlich: leblos, weiß, still.
In den Tiefen unserer Ozeane spielt sich ein Drama ab, das kaum jemand mitbekommt. Was passiert mit einem der wichtigsten #Ökosysteme der Erde? Warum verschwinden #KorallenRiffe, von denen Millionen Menschen leben? Die Antwort ist alarmierend.

Der Bestand der #Korallen isot am #GreatBarrierReef deutlich zurückgegangen, nachdem 2024 ein Rekord-Bleaching-Ereignis stattgefunden hatte.
Zyklone, damit verbundene Überschwemmungen und Ausbrüche von Dornenkronensternen haben die Auswirkungen verstärkt, wobei sowohl in den nördlichen als auch in den südlichen Regionen Rekordkorallenverluste gemeldet wurden.

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 ..."
