  • Fishy Don't Like Sandy Sandwiches…
    Fishy don’t like sandy sandwiches … Reef recovery and the control of algal outbreaks PROJECT NAME: Reef HQ Aquarium provides a rare experimental setup for researchers to investigate the role fish have on reef recovery by grazing algae. PROJECT DATES: June –November 2014. PROJECT LEADER: Professor David Bellwood. James Cook University, Townsville, Australia. PROJECT FOCUS: Coral reefs around the world are degrading. Many reefs exhibit shifts from one state to another with a shift from coral to algal domination been recorded in many coral reef systems. Australian reefs are not immune to such degradation with inner shelf reefs on the Great Barrier Reef and elsewhere, being most at risk due to their proximity to the mainland. Increased sedimentation is one of many factors affecting the health of the reef, and it can cause herbivorous fish to stop grazing on algae, just like we avoid eating sandy sandwiches. These fish play a pivotal role in the maintenance of healthy reef ecosystems as they act as lawnmowers; cropping algal turfs and keeping the algae under control. If this activity is suppressed it can have cascading effects contributing to the degradation of reefs as algae compete with and ultimately overgrow corals. What is the current state of algal turfs and herbivorous activity within the aquarium? By answering this question we will be able to provide insights into the steps that need to be taken to successfully reduce the growth of algae and reverse the current algal expansion within the reef aquarium. Cages are installed in the tank to compare algal growth in the presence of, and in the absence of, herbivorous fishes and sea urchins.

The Institute of Public Affairs (IPA)'s Free Speech on Campus Audit 2017 is a systematic analysis of over 165 policies and actions at Australia's 42 universities. The Audit rates each university's support for free speech through analysis of policies and actions that limit the diversity of ideas on campus. Key findings of the Audit are: • The majority of Australia's universities limit the diversity of ideas on campus: » Thirty-four of Australia's 42 universities (81 per cent) received a Red rating for policies and actions that are hostile to free speech on campus, an increase from 33 in 2016. » Seven of Australia's universities (17 per cent) received an Amber rating for policies and actions that threaten free speech on campus. » One university, the University of New England, received a Green rating for supporting free speech on campus.
