In this episode we're diving into the ocean waters to learn about our incredible coral reef systems. As beautiful as they are important, coral reefs are often called the ‘rainforests of the sea’ and are some of the most diverse ecosystems in the world. But, they are struggling against the effects of climate change so Tessa sits down with tropical fish and coral reef expert David Booth to get the 411 on how reef systems function, their current state and what we can do to help them thrive.
David is a Professor of Marine Ecology at UTS, and the past-President of the Australian Coral Reef Society. He is a prominent researcher on reef-fish ecology, the effects of climate change on marine life and other anthropogenic impacts on reef systems. While his research spans areas such as the Caribbean and Hawaii todays conversation focuses on the amazing Great Barrier Reef.
