On an island 87 kilometres off Queensland's coast, scientists are discovering secrets that could care for the Great Barrier Reef.
On an island 87 kilometres off Queensland's coast, scientists are discovering secrets that could care for the Great Barrier Reef.
Researchers from The University of Queensland and Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS), have a long-standing collaboration and are uncovering the mysteries of coral genetics at the Heron Island Research Station.
Ranging from what makes a coral more resistant to a warming ocean, to how identical looking corals can be completely different species, these discoveries could help scientists repopulate a more resilient reef.
