Part 1: How does growing corals on different metal structures impact the coral microbiome? Check out Paige Strudwick work ⬇️ Also, watch this space for part 2 looking at 🪸fitness responses by Amanda Grima ! FutureReefsLab

My 4th and final PhD chapter is out!
We tested if and how growing corals on different metals impacts the function and composition of #coralmicrobiomes .

Very happy to support this initiative as Chief Scientist of @thewave , member of Friends of Ocean Action and Exec Director of CORDAP all supporting it

This may be one of the biggest papers I ever have the privilege to be part of.

Out now in Science Magazine, we ask: Are nature conservation interventions working?

The answer is YES. We now need to fund MORE to reverse global biodiversity declines.

2024 Great Barrier Reef bleaching summary now available: aims.gov.au/sites/default/…

- Fifth mass bleaching event on the Great Barrier Reef since 2016
-Very high (60-90% cover bleached) and extreme (>90%) prevalence of coral bleaching in all three regions of the Great Barrier Reef

The 2024 mass coral bleaching event on the Great Barrier Reef in numbers (preliminary analysis):

- 46% of reefs experienced record high DHW
- new record of 17.7 DHW from the southern GBR
- 37% of the GBR has been exposed to three or more >6DHW events in the past decade

First data showing coral probiotics inside host tissues and gastric cavities = direct interactions with the host underpin their probiotic role. We also increase knowledge on the identity of coral-associated microbes.

Great commentary on the value and importance of coral reef restoration 🪸 After publishing our last article I have been asked many times why we should bother with restoration considering the GBR and Caribbean right now. Wish I've had all these brilliant arguments at the ready 🤓

Shocking images of coral bleaching at the largest Brazilian marine protected area (MPA Costa dos Corais). We are now facing the worst ever recorded thermal stress event!
