Fishing Bans Can Protect Great Barrier Reef Corals
2016-04-07 01:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: As the famed corals of Australia's northeastern shoreline turn white at a rate never before seen, scientists there have made a striking discovery -- one that offers new hope for reefs as greenhouse gas pollution warms the waters around them. Corals growing in areas of the Great Barrier Reef where fishing is banned were found to be more likely to survive bleachings, cyclones, coral diseases and the voracious effects of invasive starfish. Rules that protect fish can also protect coral reefs....

AAP: Australia is unlikely to meet water quality targets designed to protect the Great Barrier Reef, researchers from the federal governments marine science agency have warned. Scientists, including two from the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS), have published a study that says current efforts to reduce pollution run-off into the reefs waters are not enough to meet set targets. Their findings, published in the Global Change Biology journal on Sunday, came as the Queensland government...
