I’m leaving cold Melbourne for a few weeks and flying north to experience Northern Australia’s rainforests and Great Barrier Reef. I’ll be drawing some interpretations which I aim to post….. Bruce

After a rough few years of bleaching and wild weather, the Great Barrier Reef is making a coral comeback! The Great Barrier Reef is teeming with the stuff right now and that's a welcome relief for scientists from the Australian Institute of Marine Science, who have been monitoring the reef for a while now. They say that the reef has been slowly recovering over the past few years after being pummeled by wild weather destructive species like crown of thorns starfish and of course mass bleaching. Scientists have recorded more coral cover than they've seen in the last 36 years. There is still one little problem. Most of the regrowth is just one type of coral, called Acropora. And while they are flourishing, this type of coral is easily destroyed by storms and heatwaves that leads to bleaching. Marine scientists reckon that to keep the marine ecosystem healthy, there needs to be lots of different types of coral that are more resistant to stress. So, they'll keep their eye on the reef, and, hopefully keep the recovery going into the future.

These fish are extremely important to the prosperity and health of coral reefs, and beaches. They spend almost their entire lives eating algae from the reefs. This supports bioerosion; controlling algae population, allowing new spots for baby coral to attach and grow. Coral they eat is churned up in their throats (which are covered with teeth), and pooped out as white sand. Scientists estimate that the Chlorurus gibbus parrotfish will produce over 2,000 pounds of white sand in just a year. That’s eco systematically, good shit.
