In 2017, Cyclone Debbie destroyed some of the Whitsunday’s most beautiful bays. Now, tour guides turned citizen scientists are helping experts replant lost coral.
Dr 'Charlie' Veron On Underwater Art, Full production of a short 2-3 minute video.
Meet The Shipwreck Mermaid, otherwise known as Maddy McAllister. Maddy is a maritime archeologist, so she is kind of like the female, under-the-sea version of Indiana Jones. Except, instead of searching for buried treasure on sunken ships, Maddy is much more interested in preserving artefacts found on wrecks, so that the stories about the people they once belonged to can continue to be told. Maddy grew up in a tiny little coastal town in the southwest of Western Australia. Maddy decided she was going to become a maritime archeologist after she dragged her mum to a lecture on shipwrecks at her local RSL club. “We walked into this room to hear a lecture from Ross Anderson, who’s still a curator at the Fremantle Museum, and we were the only people under the age of 75”. Anderson gave a talk about the shipwrecks littering the West Australian coastline, and Maddy was so enthralled that she marched straight up to Anderson after the lecture and asked him how she could do the same thing he did. Maddy is a firm believer in following whatever ignites your passion and has clear memories of being told that if she opted for a career in maritime archeology she would never get a job, never make any money and that it was a terrible choice. Maddy says that with support from her mum, she instead “followed my heart and went on to study underwater archaeology, and here I am today.”
In late October, 15 women from a diverse range of backgrounds came together as part of a Great Reef Census expedition, surveying 46 reefs across the Ribbon Reefs and north of Lizard Island! In addition to capturing over 11,000 survey images, the team trialled innovative new methods to map and monitor seagrass and sea cucumber populations in partnership with JCU: James Cook University, Australia. By including different research projects and objectives, we're testing other ways to use the Census flotilla to scale up conservation efforts on the GBR . Bringing together science, conservation, tourism and people-power, our Reef Women expedition was a great example of all we can achieve through collaboration. Whether you're a scientist, a skipper or an everyday person, we all have a role to play to protect this incredible ecosystem!
OzFish Unlimited has launched the largest community-driven shellfish reef restoration project in Australia at the Port of Brisbane Shellfish Recycling Centre. The project will restore 19.4 hectares of shellfish reef in Queensland’s Moreton Bay and commences what is being referred to as a Shellfish Revolution across the country.
He’s dubbed the ‘Godfather of Coral’ and has discovered and described over one third of the world’s coral species. Professor John Edward Norwood “Charlie” Veron will be immortalised as one of eight sculptures as part of the Museum of Underwater Art’s next stage. The brief was to produce a short 2-3 minute video about Charlie's Artwork. The Sculpture is being produced in the UK so we could get the reaction of the unveiling. I liazed with the Artist to obtain some footage and m
