Coral reefs are amazing habitats – and Australia of course has “great” and stunning examples!

The Australian Coral Reef Society celebrates its 100th anniversary – The Queensland Museum currently has an exhibition about this.

“Founded in 1922 the Australian Coral Reef Society (ACRS) is the worlds’ oldest organization concerned with the study and conservation of coral reefs.

The ACRS plays a key role by promoting scientific research on Australian coral reefs. It is a forum for discussion and information transfer among scientists, management agencies and reef-based industries that are committed to ecological sustainability.”

A book published in November 2022 – pictured below – is an overview of the reefs of Australia.  I hope to review this in time.
