The Coral Sea represents one of the world's few remaining coral reef areas that still retain their natural populations of megafauna, fishes and corals. The Coral Sea Commonwealth Marine Reserve was recently proposed by the Australian Government for special protection. This area of almost 1 million square kilometres contains large populations of whales, sharks, fishes and coral reefs that are largely intact. Also there are dramatic seamounts that are yet to be explored, along with many shipwrecks. Declaration of this area will make it the largest Marine Protected Area in the world.
Dr. Daniela Ceccarelli formerly of James Cook University has recently reviewed the biology of the Coral Sea and will illustrate her talk with previously unseen images below the waters from geologist Dr. Robin Beaman of JCU Cairns. The talks will be introduced by Dr Clive Wilkinson, formerly of the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network.
