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.

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.

#News: #Ningaloo Reef is dying! 🧐🔥 A new survey shows 60% of corals are dead after record heatwaves, turned to rock, killing off vital marine life. We MUST ACT NOW on #climatechange NOW before it's too late! 🌴☠️🚫 #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetect.bsky.social

'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.

Massive #coralbleaching along Australia’s north west coast due to #MarineHeatwave. This is what 1.5C of warming looks like. It will get worse. Meanwhile, last week Woodside’s #NorthwestShelf carbon bomb approved by Labor’s Murray Watt. #ClimateCrisis #Ningaloo #ScottReef

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? 🏝️💔

Diving with whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) is a bucket list activity for most nature lovers, and Ningaloo Reef is the ideal place to dive deep with these incredible creatures.
Travelling with Australian Geographic Travel on a small-group tour offers an opportunity to explore the entire 6045sq.km of the World Heritage Area and marvel at wonders, both terrestrial and marine.

How mesmerising it is to watch this whale shark (Rhincodon typus) descend into the ocean’s depths with some remora (Remora remora) on its tail. 🐋
There’s a surprising amount we don’t know about whale sharks even though they’ve captured the world’s imagination, and swimming with them has catapulted them to the top of many people’s bucket lists.

The dive co I used when swimming with the Whale Sharks had a professional photographer on board. Here are some shots of a few of the five sharks we swam with. #Ningaloo #Australia #exmouth

I recently watched Ningaloo Nyinggulu, a beautiful documentary about the unique ecosystems of Ningaloo Reef, Cape Range & Exmouth Gulf. Grazing dugongs, graceful manta rays, sparring whales, golden rafts of Sargassum, & the enduring connection of Traditional Owners.
