  1. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐋📹 Scientists attached small cameras to #whalesharks in #WesternAustralia to see what the #fish do when nobody is watching.

    Researchers identified 36 distinct behaviors and found #whale #sharks spend most of their time low-effort snacking throughout the #water column, not just at the surface.

  8. Coral bleaching vs mortality

    When the ocean get too hot, corals expel the zooxanthellae algae that lives in their tissue.

    In Western Australia, the damage to coral reefs including the World Heritage-listed Ningaloo has eclipsed any previous bleaching events.

    These microorganisms give corals their bright pastel colours and disease resistance.

    Their absence creates the bleaching effect many Australians have become all too familiar with.

  10. Mass coral death at Ningaloo Reef

    A fresh survey of eight sites along WA's Ningaloo Reef has revealed more than 60 per cent of corals have died.

    Record water temperatures caused widespread bleaching last summer.

    Of the 1,600 corals counted in March [last year], only 600 were still alive come late October.

  14. 'Hope spot' to 'skeletons': #Ningaloo's 'catastrophic' event
    #2024 was the warmest year on record for global oceans, culminating in the fourth-ever global #coral bleaching event, which has circumnavigated oceans in a wave of ongoing coral mortality.
    It hit Ningaloo late last year.
    “In around December 2024, we started to notice that water temperatures were abnormally high,” says molecular ecologist Dr Kate Quigley.

    Ningaloo Nyinggulu.
    Tim Winton takes us on a journey to one of the last intact wild places left on Earth. Its First Peoples call this global treasure Nyinggulu. The rest of us know it as Ningaloo.

  24. Die #Korallenbleiche am #Ningaloo Riff erreicht neue Rekorde. Eine extreme #Meereshitzewelle entlang der Westküste #Australiens führt zu massiver Korallenbleiche – erstmals auch in tieferen Riffbereichen. 🌊🐠

    Wissenschaftler warnen, dass solche Ereignisse häufiger werden, wenn der #Klimawandel nicht eingedämmt wird.

    Wie lange wird das Riff noch leben? 🏝️💔
