Great Barrier Reef: Dying or Thriving?

On Tuesday, 1 March 2022 the AEF will host a webinar on Zoom to discuss whether recent environmental assessments of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) by Australia's reef science organisations properly reflect all the relevant scientific data.

The webinar will start at 7:30 pm NSW, VIC & TAS / 6:30 pm QLD / 7:00 pm SA / 6:00 pm NT / 4:30 pm WA / 8:30 am GMT.

Last June UNECSO tabled a draft recommendation that , if adopted, would list the GBR as a World Heritage site “in danger”. That decision was based on a series of assessments by the organisations in question, which are open to serious challenge based on the data collected up to the present time.

Our speakers will be Dr Peter Ridd, Jo Nova and Dr Walter Starck. All are experts in their field and knowledgeable about the issues to be discussed. Alan Moran will be the moderator.

Attendance is free of charge but AEF is asking attendees to donate to its Bob Carter Memorial Fund, which is funding the event.
