SpaceTime -- A brief history

SpaceTime is Australia’s most popular and respected astronomy and space science news program – averaging over two million downloads every year. We’re also number five in the United States.  The show reports on the latest stories and discoveries making news in astronomy, space flight, and science.  SpaceTime features weekly interviews with leading Australian scientists about their research.  The show began life in 1995 as ‘StarStuff’ on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s (ABC) NewsRadio network.  Award winning investigative reporter Stuart Gary created the program during more than fifteen years as NewsRadio’s evening anchor and Science Editor.  Gary’s always loved science. He studied astronomy at university and was invited to undertake a PHD in astrophysics, but instead focused on his career in journalism and radio broadcasting. He worked as an announcer and music DJ in commercial radio, before becoming a journalist and eventually joining ABC News and Current Affairs. Later, Gary became part of the team that set up ABC NewsRadio and was one of its first presenters. When asked to put his science background to use, Gary developed StarStuff which he wrote, produced and hosted, consistently achieving 9 per cent of the national Australian radio audience based on the ABC’s Nielsen ratings survey figures for the five major Australian metro markets: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth.  The StarStuff podcast was published on line by ABC Science -- achieving over 1.3 million downloads annually.  However, after some 20 years, the show finally wrapped up in December 2015 following ABC funding cuts, and a redirection of available finances to increase sports and horse racing coverage.  Rather than continue with the ABC, Gary resigned so that he could keep the show going independently.  StarStuff was rebranded as “SpaceTime”, with the first episode being broadcast in February 2016.  Over the years, SpaceTime has grown, more than doubling its former ABC audience numbers and expanding to include new segments such as the Science Report -- which provides a wrap of general science news, weekly skeptical science features, special reports looking at the latest computer and technology news, and Skywatch – which provides a monthly guide to the night skies. The show is published three times weekly (every Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and available from the United States National Science Foundation on Science Zone Radio, and through both i-heart Radio and Tune-In Radio.

Marine conservationists warned Thursday that Australia's Great Barrier Reef may be suffering its worst-ever coral bleaching event amid record ocean heat fueled by the worsening climate emergency.

The Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) said that bleached corals have been found at depths of up to nearly 60 feet, and "some corals are starting to die as they face record marine heatwaves."

"Corals bleach when they are stressed by warmer waters for an extended period of time—during marine heatwaves, which are driven by climate change," AMCS explained. "They expel the algae that inhabit them, which is their main energy source and they starve, sometimes to death."

Data collected from aerial surveys shows that 75% of the Great Barrier Reef has bleached during the current event, which the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration warned last month is likely to be "the worst bleaching event" ever observed in the world.

The Great Barrier Reef Is Doing Great; People Should Know

The GBR is made up of approximately 3,000 reefs covering an area nearly the size of California off Australia’s eastern coast. The condition of its coral is frequently referenced as an indicator of the reef’s health, regularly in the context of the supposed damage global warming is doing to the planet.

The reef now has more coral than any time since records began in 1986, according to  the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS). There is roughly 20 percent more coral on the GBR than last year, which itself equaled a previous record year. All three major regions of the reef now have excellent coral cover and AIMS states that two regions are at record breaking high levels.

As of the latest 2022 survey of the GBR, coral covered 34 percent of the seabed, double the lowest coverage recorded in 2012.

Data

Dr. Peter Ridd — a geophysicist, physical oceanographer and inventor — has worked on the Great Barrier Reef since 1984 and has written over 100 scientific publications.

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/jun/05/whale-watching-season-starts-early-as-humpback-population-bounces-back

People across Australia’s east coast are catching an earlier than expected first glimpse of breaching humpback whales as they migrate north, and scientists say the reason why is a conservation success story.

Whale watchers were treated to a spectacular show in Sydney on Monday as two humpback whales surged from the water metres from their boat. Dr Wally Franklin, director of the Oceania Project, said sightings have also been reported off the coast of Merimbula, Byron Bay, Tweed Heads, the Gold Coast and Hervey Bay, as the whales journey north from the Antarctic to the Great Barrier Reef.

Prof Mike Noad, director of the centre of marine studies at the University of Queensland, said the number of sightings this early in the season, which usually peaks at the end of June and into July, is due to the eastern Australian humpback whale population booming during a remarkable period of recovery.

In the early 60s when commercial whaling was banned in the region, Noad said it was estimated only about 300 of the eastern Australian humpback whales remained. Sixty years later, he suspects the population now sits at about 40,000.

“Around 20 years ago we’d get the first one or two whales coming through about Easter time, but there was around an eighth of the number of whales that there are now,” he said. “So one or two at Easter time now becomes 16 or 30 … so every year that’s probably the same migration. It’s just there’s more whales in the population.

“It’s a wonderful success story. They got down to around 1% of the original population – 99% were wiped out. That’s how close they came to being completely wiped out.

“All we had to do was stop killing them, we haven’t done much else apart from leaving them alone … and they’ve bounced back in a really healthy way themselves.”

Noad said the last major survey of the whale population was conducted in 2015, so the estimated whale population is a “best guess”. The surveys had since been de-funded by the federal government due to the whales returning to a healthy population level.

But Noad said there is a need to continue surveying the population to understand how the whales are being affected by the climate crisis, pollution, and underwater noise and potential collisions caused by boat traffic.

In February, humpback whales were struck from the threatened species list, which drew the ire of a number of scientists due to the threats the species continues to face.

“We’ve got no idea if [the population level] is sustainable, we’ve got no idea … whether they’re going to go higher or whether they might crash if they’re outstripping their food supply,” he said.

Franklin said the whale population grew by 10% every year from the 90s to 2015.

He said drastic growth in whale populations has surprised researchers, with scientists working in the northern hemisphere who study whale populations previously thinking the maximum growth rate of whales annually was 8%.

Franklin suspects the eastern Australian whale population has surpassed this expectation due to the Great Barrier Reef being the “perfect location as a breeding area”. He said researchers have found evidence that whales from other parts of the Pacific have migrated to eastern Australia.

“The benefit of it is that whale watchers along the coast of New South Wales and Queensland get to start seeing the whales earlier, and they’ll see them longer.”

Great Barrier Reef's first mass bleaching during La Niña season halts coral recovery.

ABC News - 9 August 2023

YouTube video >> Recovery has paused on the Great Barrier Reef - Marine Scientist Dr. Mike Emslie: AIMS (Australian Institute of Marine Science) annual summary update for 2023 [9 August 2023 / 3mins.+44secs.]:

Dr Mike Emslie says the Great Barrier Reef's recovery has paused.

Climate Change is the greatest threat to the Reef

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.

Monitoring the Great Barrier Reef

Not only is the Great Barrier Reef big, it is also diverse and dynamic.

For more than 35 years, the Australian Institute of Marine Science's Long-Term Monitoring Program (LTMP) has been dedicated to measuring its coral reef habitats to understand how surveyed reefs are responding to disturbances, such as severe cyclones, outbreaks of coral eating starfish and coral bleaching.

The LTMP provides an invaluable record of change on coral communities across the Great Barrier Reef.

research finds Male dolphins form lifelong bonds that help them find mates  ~ By Sofia Quaglia

Dolphins form decade-long social bonds, and cooperate among and between cliques, to help one another find mates and fight off competitors, new research has found – behaviour not previously confirmed among animals.

“These dolphins have long-term stable alliances, and they have intergroup alliances. Alliances of alliances of alliances, really,” said Dr Richard Connor, a behavioural ecologist at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and one of the lead authors of the paper. “But before our study, it had been thought that cooperative alliances between groups were unique to humans.”

The findings, published on Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, appear to support the “social brain” hypothesis: that mammals’ brains evolved to be larger in size for animals that keep track of their social interactions and networks. Humans and dolphins are the two animals with the largest brains relative to body size. “It’s not a coincidence,” Connor said.

Connor’s team of researchers collected data between 2001 and 2006 by conducting intensive boat-based surveys in Shark Bay, Western Australia. The researchers tracked the dolphins by watching and listening to them, using their unique identifying whistles to tell them apart.

They observed 202 Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus), including during the peak mating season between September and November.

Back in the lab, they pored over data focusing on 121 of these adult male dolphins to observe patterns in their social networks. And for the next decade they continued to analyse the animals’ alliances.

Dolphins’ social structures are fluid and complex. The researchers found alliances among two or three male dolphins – like best friends. Then the groups expanded to up to 14 members. Together, they helped each other find females to herd and mate with, and they help steal females from other dolphins as well as defend against any “theft” attempts from rivals.

“What happens as a male, you might be in a trio, herding a female. And if someone comes to take that female, the other males in your team and your second-order alliance come in and help you,” said Dr Stephanie King, professor in animal behaviour at Bristol University and one of the authors of the study. “These males have a very, very clear idea of who is in their team.”

These teams can last for decades and are formed when the dolphins are still young, although they do not tend to reap the rewards of paternity until their mid-teens, King said. “It’s a significant investment that starts when they’re very young – and these relationships can last their entire lives.”

Sometimes, especially when dolphin groups feel there is a risk to themselves, two second-order alliances will also come together to form a larger team. As a result, among the dolphins observed by the scientists, every male was directly connected to between 22 and 50 other dolphins.

The researchers’ observations show that in these groups, the tighter the clique – and the stronger the bonds between the dolphins – the more success they have attracting females.

It’s their cooperative relationships, rather than alliance size, which gives males more breeding success, said King.

It is already widely known that dolphins are highly social and cooperative, as well as being remarkably good at adapting to and teaching behaviour specific to their environment, said Stephanie Venn-Watson, former director of Translational Medicine and Research at the National Marine Mammal Foundation in San Diego, California, who was not involved in the study.

“One would not rule out the possibility that other cetaceans could develop similar alliances,” said Venn-Watson. “These complex behaviours will likely be limited to large-brained mammals.”

According to the researchers behind the paper, this is the only non-human example of these kinds of strategic multilevel alliances to have been observed. But these findings also highlight the cognitive demands these animals face, suggesting that dolphins’ large brains help them to keep track of the different relationships, Connor said.

“I would say that dolphins and humans have converged in the evolution of between-group alliances – an incredibly complex social system,” said Connor. “And it’s astonishing because we are so different from dolphins.”

OCEAN STORIES:

1st Edition:

Welcome to my Ocean Stories blog. For this 1st edition, I have updates on beautiful Corals. Let's get reading it:

According to the Australian Institute of Marine Science , a new survey including 87 reefs found that corals were recovered from across two-third areas of Australia's Great Barrier Reef. The recovery were the highest in the northern and the central barrier reef. In the south, the coral cover was found decreasing. The Australian Institute of Marine Science has been conducting annual survey of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The site has been monitored since 36 years. The survey was conducted during August 2021 and May 2022 through aerial surveying and with the help of divers. In the monitoring period, the reef has been showing recovery after disturbances.

The widespread recovery was largely due to increase in the dominant Acropora coral group. Coral bleaching occurred during the survey period due to above-average water temperature. The accumulated heat stress caused widespread bleaching but didn't contribute to the extensive mortality of the corals. The survey monitored other acute stresses as lower and there was no severe cyclones observed. However, bleaching could effect the coral's reproduction and make them prone to diseases.

Due to global warming and climate change, destructive events like cyclones, bleaching etc. have become more frequent and also last for longer duration. Also, half of the coral reef is lost due to the predator crown-of-thorns starfish which preys on corals and survives better on an increased sea temperature.

The survey observed that due to acute stresses and lower accumulated heat stresses in 2020 and 2022 led to lower coral mortality and an increasing coral cover in the northern and central parts of the reef compared to 4-5 years back.

The fast growing branching and plate like Acropora coral is particularly vulnerable to the changing climate. Hence, it is important to take immediate actions to protect the reef and to tackle climate change effects. Otherwise, marine heatwaves, tropical cyclones and threat from the crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks (specially in the southern reef) would make it difficult to maintain the recovery of the coral reef cover in the Great Barrier Reef.

Potentially Alive 830-Million-Year-Old Microorganisms Found Trapped in Ancient Rock - Science Alert

...  The middle of Australia is desert now, but it was once an ancient salty sea. The Browne Formation is a well-characterized and dated stratigraphic unit from central Australia, dating back to the Neoproterozoic. It includes extensive halite, indicative of an ancient marine environment.

Using a core sample from the Browne Formation extracted by the Geological Survey of Western Australia in 1997, Schreder-Gomes and her colleagues were able to conduct investigations of unaltered Neoproterozoic halite using nothing but non-invasive optical methods. This left the halite intact; which, importantly, means that anything inside had to have been trapped at the time the crystals formed.  ...

The coral reef is currently experiencing its worst mass bleaching event on record — warming waters brought on by climate change are to blame.

Australia’s iconic Great Barrier Reef is fundamentally changing because of repeated bleaching from high ocean temperatures brought on by climate change, according to marine biologists.

“It's not a question of reefs dying or reefs disappearing, it's reef ecosystems transforming into a new configuration,” says marine biologist Terry Hughes, from James Cook University in Townsville, Australia.

“Species like fish and crustaceans and so on — the iconic biodiversity of reefs — all depend on the structure and three dimensionality the habitat provided by corals,” Hughes says. “When you lose a lot of corals, it affects everything that's dependent on corals.”

Corals ‘bleach’ when stressed, expelling their colourful resident zooxanthellae. According to a report released on 17 April by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority – the Australian government’s reef management agency — the World Heritage-listed reef is experiencing its worst mass bleaching event on record. The Reef Snapshot said three-quarters of the entire reef is showing signs of bleaching and nearly 40 percent is showing high or extreme bleaching.

The report is based on aerial surveys of 1,080 of the Great Barrier Reef’s estimated 3,000 individual reefs, and in-water surveys of a smaller number of reefs.

It showed that while bleaching was observed along the entire length of the Great Barrier Reef, it was most severe in the central and southern regions.

“We've never seen this level of heat stress across all three regions of the Great Barrier Reef,” says Brisbane-based marine biologist Lissa Schindler, from the Australian Marine Conservation Society.

This is the fifth mass bleaching event on the Great Barrier Reef in eight years. Hughes warns that climate change-driven increases in ocean temperatures are making it more difficult for the Reef’s corals to recover between bleaching events. “In the last six years, we've settled into bleaching every other year – in 2020, 2022, and now 2024 – and that's simply not enough time for a proper recovery,” he says.

Global phenomenon

The Snapshot was one of a series of reports released this week on coral bleaching that also sounded alarm bells for reefs. The Australian Institute of Marine Science announced on 18 April that the Great Barrier Reef experienced water temperatures in parts of the southern reef at 2.5 degrees Celsius higher than historical summer peaks.

Meanwhile on 15 April the United States’ National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration declared the fourth global coral bleaching event on record, and the second in the past decade. The declaration acknowledges that the warmth of the southern hemisphere summer mirrored coral bleaching events seen in the northern hemisphere summer last year.

It comes as global sea surface temperatures again broke records in 2023, associated with a strong El Niño weather pattern, recording an annual average temperature around 0.3 degrees Celsius higher in the second half of 2023 compared with 2022.

“There have been very high temperatures driven by climate change all across the world, and there has been coral bleaching in many other countries,” says environmental scientist Roger Beeden, chief scientist for the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, Townsville.

Hughes says the warming climate is pushing reefs to have less coral, and the mix of coral species is changing. For example, the branching and table-shaped corals are often the fastest to recover from a bleaching event because they are fast-growing, Hughes says. However they’re also very prone to bleaching and have higher levels of mortality during bleaching events.

“It's a bit analogous to a fire on land through a forest, that favours a bounce-back by flammable grasses before the trees can recover,” he says. “Ironically, that that bounce-back, that resilience, undermines the ability of the reef to cope with the next inevitable bleaching event.” Seaweeds also flourish when corals degrade.

Beeden says those who live and work on the Reef are observing significant changes. “There's historical photos that show inshore reefs that were laden with coral, and that’s very different now,” he says.

He says there are an estimated 450 different species of coral on the Reef, and such diversity means there is a chance the Reef will adapt to the changing conditions, even if it changes character. “What we see within species is definitely there is variability in how they respond to stress events.”

Hughes says the solution to the Great Barrier Reef’s bleaching problem is clear. “Reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Full stop.”

SpaceTime -- A brief history

SpaceTime is Australia’s most popular and respected astronomy and space science news program – averaging over two million downloads every year. We’re also number five in the United States.  The show reports on the latest stories and discoveries making news in astronomy, space flight, and science.  SpaceTime features weekly interviews with leading Australian scientists about their research.  The show began life in 1995 as ‘StarStuff’ on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s (ABC) NewsRadio network.  Award winning investigative reporter Stuart Gary created the program during more than fifteen years as NewsRadio’s evening anchor and Science Editor.  Gary’s always loved science. He studied astronomy at university and was invited to undertake a PHD in astrophysics, but instead focused on his career in journalism and radio broadcasting. He worked as an announcer and music DJ in commercial radio, before becoming a journalist and eventually joining ABC News and Current Affairs. Later, Gary became part of the team that set up ABC NewsRadio and was one of its first presenters. When asked to put his science background to use, Gary developed StarStuff which he wrote, produced and hosted, consistently achieving 9 per cent of the national Australian radio audience based on the ABC’s Nielsen ratings survey figures for the five major Australian metro markets: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth.  The StarStuff podcast was published on line by ABC Science -- achieving over 1.3 million downloads annually.  However, after some 20 years, the show finally wrapped up in December 2015 following ABC funding cuts, and a redirection of available finances to increase sports and horse racing coverage.  Rather than continue with the ABC, Gary resigned so that he could keep the show going independently.  StarStuff was rebranded as “SpaceTime”, with the first episode being broadcast in February 2016.  Over the years, SpaceTime has grown, more than doubling its former ABC audience numbers and expanding to include new segments such as the Science Report -- which provides a wrap of general science news, weekly skeptical science features, special reports looking at the latest computer and technology news, and Skywatch – which provides a monthly guide to the night skies. The show is published three times weekly (every Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and available from the United States National Science Foundation on Science Zone Radio, and through both i-heart Radio and Tune-In Radio.

2017 : "Dit lip hue hng 直​入​花​園", electroacoustic composition

PENGHU EXPERIMENTAL SOUND STUDIO #3

« The title of this sound piece is borrowed to Nanguan, an ancient music style from Southern China, still practiced in Taiwan. This song, part of a Taoist ritual, describes a journey into an other-wordly and colorful garden. The condition of the plants and the pavilion seen on the path would reflect the participant's future.

I have been visiting Penghu archipelago, Taiwan, since 2004. Its islands, surrounded by blue-green water, and battled by the wind during the Winter, are presenting a unique landscape of basalt structures, prairies and houses made of coral blocks. But the most attractive and precious environments are underwater. In 2008, a cold water stream, consequence of climate change, destroyed a large part of the coral reefs. Overfishing, drifting garbage, abandoned fishing nets and construction projects constitute a huge pressure on these natural habitats. I have done underwater recordings since a while, but it is only this year that I finally started a more systematic sound documentation, in collabo- ration with marine biologists, experimenting with recording techniques, initiating a sound archive and bioacoustic survey. I consider Dit lip hue hng as a metaphor : visiting these underwater gardens and observing their condition might give us a hint about our own future as a human species. »

6 Marine Services Offered by Offshore Shipping Company

A major part of many vessel-related activities and functions are performed by offshore shipping company. These services are intended to assist in controlling the flow of vessel traffic, promote safer vessel manoeuvring and berthing, and even enhance port or marine efficiency and security. Currently operating offshore vessel operators frequently provide these services. 

Operators of offshore vessels can take many various forms, from those that offer services for supply, maintenance, logistics, and many other operational needs. With their role in the sector, these vessel operators may demonstrate effectiveness and high calibre performance.

The many maritime services provided by operators of offshore vessels are covered here. For more information, keep reading.

1. Dive Support

Supporting different nautical projects and activities is one of the most typical services provided by offshore boats. These services are frequently tailored to meet the needs of diving operations. Securing and hooking up the vessel during diving operations is the main duty of offshore boats in dive support. Effective anchor mooring techniques are frequently used in the service. How operate mooring systems? The mooring line for this system is constructed from fibre ropes, chains, wires, or any combination of these materials. The water depth may affect the materials utilised. During operations, mooring lines' anchors are fixed to the bottom, restricting vessel movement.

Maritime services are vital to the economies of many nations. These services have had a significant impact on the supply chain and economic expansion of the United States. From the domestic market to the international one, they are integral to the end-to-end trade activities. hence permitting the ongoing flow of supplies and materials for the nation's industrial sectors. American marine services are frequently offered at Chalmette, Newark, and other locations.

Similar to this, Australia's marine sector has significantly boosted the country's economy. Many major cities, like Darwin, Perth, Brisbane, Dampier, and many more, rely heavily on offshore services for their shipping and trading needs. They assist oil and gas activities, provide engineering and project management, energy and transmission from renewable sources, build and install offshore structures, conduct offshore surveys and positioning, and more. They provide a variety of maritime services.

2. Offshore Accommodation

Existing boats are provided with offshore lodgings for offshore workforce. For their sizable personnel, the majority of marine businesses require sufficient space. Offshore shipping company supply this necessary housing by using module decks to accommodate and shelter surplus and current offshore personnel. 

By using dynamic and adaptable facility quarters or stations, these accommodation boats give staff a permanent or alternate place to sleep in addition to a host of other uses. In this way, marine enterprises can keep running their businesses and give their staff higher standards of living and comfort. 

The number of staff and available space might also change based on the projects being worked on. The owners of offshore vessels will be the ones to purchase and modify the necessary lodging facilities.

3. Transhipping and Supply

Transferring different kinds of cargo from one vessel to another is the aim of transhipping. To aid finish the transfer of goods or containers, offshore vessel operators can offer this form of maritime service. 

In addition, this maritime service may handle the carrying and transportation of workers, supplies, and equipment to meet the production and operational needs of mineral and energy resource extraction. Supplies of gasoline, freshwater, liquid mud, dry mass, etc., may be among them. 

4. Oil and Gas Field Support

For the oil and gas sectors, offshore vessel operators also offer oil field assistance. The duties performed by this naval service include drilling to extract hydrocarbons from the sea floor and exploring for oil and gas. Jack-up installations, which raise boats above sea level and are also utilised for offshore wind farms, are an additional offshore vessel service associated with these activities by offshore shipping company.

It may also offer vessel tenders and floating platform installations as complementary services for oil and gas field assistance. Support is offered, particularly during exploratory activities, by these floating platforms and tenders.

5. Standby Operations

Rescue and response vessels and services are crucial as offshore industries heavily rely on evacuation and emergency procedures. In order to properly carry out evacuation plans and prompt reactions during crises, offshore vessel operators that provide standby operating services must provide extra facilities and equipment. 

Search and rescue, first aid, and safety monitoring through approaching vessel alerts are all capabilities of standby operating services. They also include all the amenities required for survival and medical attention in some unanticipated underwater situations. 

6. Geo Survey

Geo-survey activities are among the marine services offered by offshore shipping company. What do these mean? Geospatial surveys offer the data required for various activities such as exploratory mining, wind farm projects, and more. Geo surveys offer high-resolution information and mapping of the geological composition, shape, and state of the seabed. 

Geophysical and geotechnical surveys are the two categories of offshore geo surveys. Geophysical surveys are mostly required to make sure that projects and developments at water depths are safe enough to lower or eliminate risk for offshore developers and similar entities. Conversely, geotechnical surveys are in charge of examining and evaluating soil qualities and foundations; these services are mostly required for the oil and gas sector and other associated activities.

Conclusion

Diverse services offered by offshore shipping company like Focal Shipping are beneficial to many maritime businesses. In addition to the services listed above, they are still able to provide and supply more. An overview of how these offshore vessel operators may meet the requirements of a particular project or activities offshore can be obtained by being aware of the various services they offer.

Climate change is the greatest threat to the Great Barrier Reef — and globally, coral reef bleaching events are increasing exponentially.

An environmental group is taking the Australian Environment Minister and two coal companies to court for allegedly failing to protect the Great Barrier Reef.

Mass coral bleaching on Great Barrier Reef sparks fear of global event

An unprecedented fifth mass coral bleaching event in just eight years is rolling across the Great Barrier Reef, the result of yet another marine heatwave in another sign of the deteriorating forecasts for Australia’s marine wonder under global warming.

The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority said aerial surveys indicated that two-thirds of the reefs that comprise the 2300-kilometre-long ecosystem along the Queensland coast showed signs of bleaching, which could be attributed to a marine heatwave.

“Climate change is the greatest threat to the Great Barrier Reef and coral reefs globally,” the authority’s chief scientist, Dr Roger Beeden, said on Friday.

“The results are consistent with what we have seen with above-average sea surface temperatures across the reef for an extended period of time.”

The current bleaching event follows similar reports from reefs around the world over the past 12 months. Northern hemisphere reefs have suffered coral bleaching as a result of climate-change-driven elevated ocean temperatures, amplified by El Nino conditions in the Pacific Ocean.
