Reef Report June 2024

By Stuart Kininmonth, Heron Island Research Station. Back in March close to 100% of corals surveyed showed signs of thermal stress. This included colour changes especially if the zooxanthellae were excluded from the coral due to heat stress. From this statethe corals are essentially starving as they have little means to generate sugar and are essentially living
off reserves.

What a weekend! πŸͺ»πŸŒΌπŸŒΏ
Native Plants Queensland Gladstone Branch organised a full weekend of flora walks. We were lucky to also have the expertise from Gin Gin Landcare, Gladstone Regional Council, Tondoon Botanic Gardens and Bush Heritage also.

A wonderful collaboration of organisations and exploring both public and private land and all the things those lands protect.

Please remember that Reedy Creek Reserve is private land. We were guided by the Bush Heritage ranger to see all that the nature reserve protects including threatened flora, fauna and ecosystems.

Native Plants Qld offer their members monthly guided walks. You also receive quarterly magazines and other perks. Highly recommend if native flora is of interest.
