AIMS researcher Keegan Vickers is studying the smaller things in the ocean – microplastics. Microplastics are plastic items that are smaller than 5mm. They’re attracting global concern due to the threat they pose to marine life and ecosystems. One thing Keegan loves about marine science is having an impact and making sense of these tiny infiltrators is sure to have an impact, as the Australian Institute of Marine Science microplastics team are determining the presence, effects and sources of microplastics. #Shorts #MarineScience #Microplastics

The Long-Term Monitoring Program team surveyed 94 reefs over 120 days at sea across the Great Barrier Reef. AIMS’ Annual Summary Report on Coral Reef Condition for 2023/24 (published 7th August 2024) found that hard coral cover has increased in all three regions (Northern, Central and Southern), and is at regional highs in two of the three regions. But most of the underwater surveys were conducted before and during the recent mass bleaching event, one of the most extensive and serious on record. As such, results don’t reflect how many corals survived or died following the bleaching. Surveys in the Central region were also completed before the passage of Tropical Cyclone Jasper, which caused heavy localised flooding. Our Long-Term Monitoring Program team will be back in the water in September to re-survey the Reef, which will begin to reveal the impacts from this summer.

Young corals run the gauntlet in their first year on a reef. One of those challenges is an important coral reef gardener. As parrotfish scrape and excavate algae, they may nab a young coral too. AIMS at JCU PhD candidate Taylor Whitman is researching how we can best protect young corals and increase their chance of survival when placed on the reef in a specially designed coral seeding device. Coral seeding is a restoration technique designed to help speed the return of coral cover to reefs that are disturbed or damaged. We’re researching solutions to improve coral seeding and upscale interventions to help coral reefs replenish after disturbances, as part of the Reef Restoration and Adaptation Program, funded by the partnership between the Australian Government's Reef Trust and the Great Barrier Reef Foundation.

In 2019, scientists and Traditional Custodians gathered on Woppaburra sea Country in the southern Great Barrier Reef and began weaving a better future for coral reefs and culture. The Woppaburra Coral Project was the first project for AIMS’ new way of doing business with Traditional Owners. We now seek partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, learning from each other through two-way knowledge sharing of the marine environment via on Country workshops. As our relationship with the Woppaburra TUMRA Aboriginal Corporation and Traditional Custodians has deepened, surprising outcomes have occurred – it’s not only about the science. The workshops identified Traditional Owner aspirations and provided the Traditional Custodians with baseline data for future management of their sea Country. Science outcomes were linked with culture and several new cultural practices emerged. The research activities have really advanced our understanding of coral seeding, a restoration technique where baby corals are placed on reefs in specially designed devices to enhance reef recovery. Now we know which coral species are best suited to the different reef environments around Konomie (North Keppel Island) to optimise coral seeding efforts and increase survival of baby coral during their first year of life. Learn more about the project: https://www.aims.gov.au/research-topics/environmental-issues/climate-change/australian-coral-reef-resilience-initiative The Woppaburra Coral Project is part of the Australian Coral Reef Resilience Initiative, a partnership between AIMS, BHP and Woppaburra Traditional Custodians (www.woppaburra.com.au).

Bardi Jawi Indigenous Protect Area (IPA) is rich in biodiversity. It features a mosaic of habitats, such as tidal pools, mangroves, seagrass beds, and coral reefs. AIMS co-designed a monitoring program with the Bardi Jawi Rangers, merging the expertise of our coral reef and fish monitoring scientists with Traditional Ecological Knowledge. The Rangers received training in different monitoring techniques and technologies, including baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS), which are a common fish-surveying tool. The diver-less method allows for long-term records of fish communities at each location. BRUVS are also the safest sampling method in the area because of the abundance of saltwater crocs and the large swings between high and low tide, which creates strong currents. The Rangers are monitoring culturally important fish to better inform sea Country management. Learn more: https://www.aims.gov.au/information-centre/news-and-stories/unravelling-monitoring-trends-sea-country-management This research is part of the Northern Australian Marine Monitoring Alliance (NAMMA) and is a partnership with Bardi Jawi Rangers and Traditional Owners, and the Kimberley Land Council. #Shorts

Alongside spawning coral in the National Sea Simulator, we also spawn animals that like to eat them – the crown-of-thorns starfish! Unlike corals that produce both egg and sperm bundles, the coral-eating starfish are either male or female. Our researchers check the gender of the starfish ready to spawn, so they can produce more than five million larvae for their research. Raising young starfish, which we have been doing for about six years, provides a window into these animals during a mysterious period of their lives. One mystery our researchers are looking to answer is “how old are you?” It is not possible to tell by their size! This is only one piece of our research. Piece by piece we gain a better understanding about the complexities of crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks on the Great Barrier Reef, which may guide solutions to help control them.

WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are warned that the following video may contain images and voices of deceased persons. Six of the world’s seven sea turtle species nest on beaches across northern Australia. Scientists and Indigenous Rangers want to understand how turtles use the surrounding area during nesting and where they go after. They collect the data by attaching temporary satellite transmitter tags to the turtle’s shells when they come ashore to lay their eggs. The tags showed that at the end of nesting season most turtles went south into the Gulf of Carpentaria to feed, but one turtle surprised us making a huge journey to Darwin. The footage was captured during an expedition to Groote Eylandt, Northern Territory to tag ten green turtles. The expedition was a collaboration between the Australian Institute of Marine Science, Anindilyakwa Land & Sea Rangers, Anindilyakwa Land Council, Anindilyakwa Traditional Owners and Northern Institute - Charles Darwin University. The project was funded by the Northern Territory Government’s Aboriginal Ranger Grants Program.

In-water monitoring hard coral cover across the Great Barrier Reef remains at similar levels to that recorded in 2022, with small decreases in the Northern, Central and Southern regions. AIMS’ Annual Summary Report on Coral Reef Condition for 2022/23 (published 9th August 2023) found that while some reefs continued to recover, their increased hard coral cover was offset by coral loss on other reefs. Most reefs underwent little change in coral cover. The pauses in recovery in the Northern and Central regions were due in part to the 2022 mass coral bleaching event. Low numbers of coral-eating crown-of-thorns starfish and a cyclone in January 2022 also contributed to coral loss in the Northern region. Continued crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks and coral disease kept coral cover similar to last year’s levels in the Southern region, with bleaching playing less of a role.

WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are warned that the following program contains images and voices of deceased persons. There’s still a lot we don’t know about fish communities in the Great Barrier Reef. We’re on a journey with Manbarra Traditional Owners to find out more. Around Orpheus Island in the central Great Barrier Reef, Manbarra Traditional Owners are sharing their knowledge about mangroves, seagrass meadows and shallow reef areas. These sites can be difficult to monitor but are used by important recreational and commercial fish species as nursery grounds. The Integrated Monitoring and Reporting (IMR) Fish Monitoring Program is being co-developed with Traditional Owners to detect changes in recreational and commercial fish communities, and address knowledge gaps in under-surveyed areas of the Great Barrier Reef.

For the first time in a dedicated monitoring program, scientists from the Australian Institute of Marine Science and collaborators have deployed baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS) across the length and breadth of the Great Barrier Reef, to find out what fishes are in deep-water areas between reefs. We know very little about the fish communities that exist in these areas. Information about the sustainability of popular commercial and recreational fishes in deep-water areas is important for management and fisheries. The monitoring will fill knowledge gaps and establish a reference point to detect changes in these fish communities. The compilation showcases some of the interesting marine life and fish communities that the BRUVS footage is capturing. For more information visit: https://www.aims.gov.au/information-centre/news-and-stories/taking-fish-monitoring-new-depths The BRUVS monitoring project is part of the two-year Integrated Monitoring and Reporting (IMR) Program funded by the partnership between the Australian Government’s Reef Trust and the Great Barrier Reef Foundation. This is a collaborative project between AIMS, TropWATER: JCU's Centre for Tropical Water and Aquatic Ecosystem Research, M-Data Tech JCU, University of the Sunshine Coast, Traditional Owners from Girringun Aboriginal Corporation, Manbarra and Wulgurukaba, and with input from Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (Queensland) and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority.
