Great Barrier Reef

A decision by UNESCO to delay listing the Great Barrier Reef as in-danger has prompted a call for governments to act fast.

An Australian scientist says the Great Barrier Reef sustained ’record amounts’ of coral from 2022-23, but the government says the reef needs protecting.

More than 14.5 million hectares or 8.39 percent of the state’s total land area is now protected after 140 islands added to major marine protection area.

If the reef experiences temperatures 16 degrees or more above the long-term average weekly temperature, it will be deemed a category 5.

Hard-working Aussie fishermen, and the people who depend on them, are about to suffer severe restrictions on their production. And all based on dubious science.

A plane with 10 passengers has flipped while trying to land on a far north Queensland island.

The University of the Sunshine Coast found the new coral reef fish, the Lady Elliot Shrimp Gob.

If successful, new coal and gas projects could face greater scrutiny over their impact on the environment.

UNESCO has given Australia a reprieve over the condition of the Great Barrier Reef, but El Nino is reviving fears.
