Journey Through the Science and Management of the Remote and Wild Reefs and Islands of the Coral Sea Marine Park, Australia - Presented by Martin Russell, Manager, Coral Sea Marine Park, Australia

The Coral Sea Marine Park off northeast Australia in the Pacific Ocean is a vast and remote wilderness covering almost 1 million km2, with over 60 uninhabited islands and over 1800 reefs. Martin is the manager of the Marine Park and has two key projects: Coral Reef Health and Island Health Projects. He will talk about these amazing and relatively untouched reefs and islands, including shallow reef dive and deep reef ROV surveys, discovery of new corals and fish, the assessments of seabirds, vegetation and marine debris on islands, and the protection being implemented for the long term.
