Corals that are brightly coloured, fluorescent and bleached white are showing symptoms of heat stress. The dull coloured corals covered in turf algae have died recently, likely due to bleaching, while there are other normal-coloured corals that appear unaffected. yt:video:W7iwTaW3ZXM W7iwTaW3ZXM UCFR6sgrwIQDk8goDS3opuew Australian Institute of Marine Science https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFR6sgrwIQDk8goDS3opuew 2017-05-03T02:38:14+00:00 2017-07-06T00:07:01+00:00 Coral Reefs and Our Current Climate The Scott Reef complex is Australia’s largest oceanic reef system. Rising from deep waters near the edge of northwest Australia’s continental shelf, these reefs are remote and free from many of the local pressures degrading other reefs around the world. This isolation makes them invaluable for research, which is why AIMS has been working with management agencies and industry partners to monitor and study these reefs, and their response to the threats associated with climate change, for more than 20 years. This short film illustrates the changing face of these exceptional reefs over the last two decades – not just the trials they have faced and their remarkable capacity to recover, but also their increasing vulnerability to record-breaking ocean temperatures and severe bleaching events as a result of climate change. ‘Coral Reefs and Our Current Climate’ was created by AIMS researcher James Gilmour, and photographer Nick Thake. yt:video:vebKnvKundU vebKnvKundU UCFR6sgrwIQDk8goDS3opuew Australian Institute of Marine Science https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFR6sgrwIQDk8goDS3opuew 2017-02-28T21:43:31+00:00 2017-02-28T21:58:42+00:00 Reef survey clip - Sir Charles Hardy Reef Sept 2016 This video accompanies the 2016/17 Reef Survey Report of the Cape Grenville Sector of the Great Barrier Reef. yt:video:e7H5FZykTVU e7H5FZykTVU UCFR6sgrwIQDk8goDS3opuew Australian Institute of Marine Science https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFR6sgrwIQDk8goDS3opuew 2017-01-17T01:04:21+00:00 2017-05-24T18:52:38+00:00 Coral larvae settling and developing in the National Sea Simulator From floating eggs and sperm, to swimming larvae and developing polyp - over 50 000 tiny corals have settled into the National Sea Simulator since the 2016 Great Barrier Reef coral spawning event 2 months ago. These young corals are providing valuable information for scientists who are continuing their investigations on their fragile early life histories.

Many corals only have a short window of opportunity to reproduce through a spectacular annual event called 'coral spawning'. AIMS researchers use this period to examine the early life history of corals, and the impact of stressors on this life-stage. In one such project, researchers work in the National Sea Simulator investigating on the effect of sediment on coral reproduction during spawning, particularly sperm. This work is part of a larger research program examining the effects of dredging on coral reef organisms. yt:video:YstfuhqXSyg YstfuhqXSyg UCFR6sgrwIQDk8goDS3opuew Australian Institute of Marine Science https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFR6sgrwIQDk8goDS3opuew 2016-08-11T03:23:48+00:00 2017-07-10T00:54:57+00:00 Coralsville “Coralsville” is a science-based educational play revealling the secrets of coral reefs!

They feed on echinoderms, and are particularly fond of crown-of-thorns starfish, a coral-eating starfish that occurs in outbreak proportions on the Great Barrier Reef and elsewhere. Despite the COTS sharp spines and having a highly toxic coating (saponin), tritons are highly effective COTS hunters, as shown in this video, taken at AIMS' Townsville facility.
