  • Threats and Sustainable Management
  • Located off coast of Queensland, Australia
  • Largest collection of reefs in the world
  • Home to wide variety of fish, seagrasses, coral and other invertebrate species
  • GBR World Heritage Area is the largest in the world
  • Covers 30 million hectares
  • Sedimentation and nutrient run-off
  • Commercial shipping
  • Commercial fishing
  • Crown of Thorns starfish
  • Global warming and coral bleaching
  • To preserve environment asset, reef must be carefully managed!
  • Sustainable Management
  • The use of components of biological diversity in a way and at a rate that does not lead to the long term decline of biological diversity, thereby maintaining its potential to meet the needs and aspirations of present and future generations (Reichelt 2005, p. 7)
  • Located off coast of Western Australia, near Exmouth
  • Extends over 260 kilometers
  • Are management plans from the GBR transferable to Ningaloo Reef?
  • Increased sedimentation is a result of human activity - land clearing, agriculture, urban development and industry
  • Riverine discharge dominated by flood events resulting from cyclones and monsoons
  • Estimated 15-28 tons of sediment deposited into the lagoon annually (Haynes 2001)
  • Largest discharges originate from the Burdekin and Fitzroy catchments
  • Croplands responsible for the greatest impacts on sediment yield
  • Major crops sugarcane, mangoes, bananas, lychees, tomatoes and cotton sugarcane being the largest
  • Nitrogen and phosphorus are associated with fertiliser use, much of which is not absorbed and reaches the lagoon
  • Elevated nutrient levels promote phytoplankton growth, encourage macro algae blooms, and results in weakened coral skeletons
  • Cattle grazing - largest single use of land
  • Woodland and vegetation clearing contribute to run-off, overgrazing worsens erosion
  • Turbidity smothers corals and reduces light availability - adversely affects algae symbionts and seagrass beds
  • Freshwater plumes lower salinity causing stress on coral resulting in excessive mucous release and loss of zooxanthellae
  • Agricultural and urban storm and waste water carry unnatural quantities of heavy metals into lagoon
  • Potentially toxic and can cause growth and reproductive problems
  • Avoid further clearing of coastal wetlands and riparian vegetation
  • Maintain fringing vegetation along stream and river banks
  • Improved farming and grazing practices will lead to improved water quality
  • CANEGROWERS Code of Practice for Sustainable Cane Growing
  • Fertiliser application, soil management, native vegetation, irrigation and drainage
  • Green cane harvesting/trash blanketing - used by majority of cane growers in GBR catchment
  • Spelling -Rotation of grazing pastures in order to maintain adequate ground cover
  • Not currently under the same pressure as the GBR due to sparsely populated coastline
  • Unless restrictions are established, development of the coastal region and increases in population will lead Ningaloo to face similar threats
  • Several major international shipping routes intersect the region
  • Cargo includes bauxite, alumina, manganese, iron ore, general container freight and oil
  • 2500 ships transit the GBR every year
  • (Hugget et al. 2001)
  • Accidental Pollutants
  • result from grounding, collision or structural failure
  • oil or other noxious chemical
  • potential to cause serious environmental damage
  • Operational Pollutants
  • result from day-to-day operation
  • waste products
  • e.g. oil, sewage, garbage and greenhouse emissions
  • antifoulants from hull paints
  • toxic to many marine organisms
  • introduce marine pests from ballast water
  • implemented through International Maritime Organisation (IMO)
  • MARPOL (73/78)
  • world's first Particularly Sensitive Sea Area in 1990
  • compulsory pilotage
  • mandatory vessel reporting system (REEFREP)
  • grounding MV Carola, MV Peacock and MV New Reach demonstrate grounding potential is not eliminated
  • areas deemed high risk remote from established stockpiles of response equipment
  • There are many important recreational and commercial fisheries at the GBR
  • Fisheries at the GBR
  • Prawns, scallops, reef fish, rock lobster and sea cucumber
  • Fishing affects coral reefs directly and indirectly
  • Reduces abundances of target and non-target species
  • Trawling and dredging destroy benthos
  • Impacts on biological interactions
  • Affects the whole ecosystem
  • Management based on input restrictions eg. gear specifications, bag limits
  • Queensland DPIF has effectively reduced fishing effort while maintaining catch levels
  • Zoning is used
  • 6 different zones are used
  • 33 of the GBRMP is no-take areas
  • This management was introduced to help depleted species recover
  • Sustainable management is currently occurring
  • Further improvements could be to change the focus from single species management to ecosystem based approaches
  • COTS widespread throughout GBR
  • Reddish brown echinoderm
  • Only venemous seastar
  • Typically 1ft. in diameter
  • Feeds on live hard coral mainly branching tubular and staghorn coral (Aeropora)
  • Prefers to live in deep water along reef fronts
  • Individual COTS consumes 2-6 sq. m coral/year
  • Populations can grow faster then coral growth leads to extensive loss of coral
  • Indirectly affects other organisms
  • Substantial coral deaths in the GBR since 1960s
  • Since then many outbreaks have occurred as COTS have spread southwards along the coast via currents
  • Not known what the major cause of COT growth
  • Nutrients released via land runoff from human activities increase phytoplankton (important COTS food source)
  • Fishing and shell collecting has decreased COTS predators
  • Extensive surveying of COTS have occurred in many sections of the GBR since 1985
  • Most tourism sites have control systems in place for COTS
  • Divers inject deadly Soduim Sulphate solutions into COTS tissues
  • -doesnt affect other species
  • COTS exist in natural numbers in Ningaloo off Dampier may be a threat in the future
  • Elevated levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere ? global climate change
  • The worlds oceans are a sink for atmospheric CO2
  • GBR ? elevated sea surface temperatures, caused by El Niño Southern Oscillation events
  • Increased CO2 in water ? dissolution and weakening of coral skeleton
  • Elevated SSTs ? corals become stressed, expel some zooxanthellae, and are bleached
  • 1998 worldwide mass coral bleaching event
  • - Approximately 87 of the inshore reefs of the GBR were affected
  • - Pacific, Indian Ocean, Red Sea, Persian Gulf, Mediterranean, Caribbean regions AND Ningaloo Reef
  • Cannot be managed on site GBR
  • Global problem global responsibility
  • Coral bleaching canary to the coal mine is the destruction of coral reefs an indication of the damage that could be caused by global climate change in the future?
  • Extremely important environmental feature under threat
  • Needs to be better managed
  • Possible with better administration and tougher legislation
  • Sustaining of the reef is a viable future!

SPREP and the Great Barrier Reef Foundation partnership unlocks promise for resilient reefs

Coral Reef signing

A new partnership to protect our Pacific coral reefs was signed at the Pacific Islands Leaders Forum Meeting in Tonga between the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme and the Great Barrier Reef Foundation.

Working together, this partnership will implement the 2030 Coral Reef Action Plan through the GBRF program Resilient Reefs Initiative and supports the Unlocking Blue Pacific Prosperity Initiative. The AUD 15 million Resilient Reefs Initiative is funded by BHP Foundation and will accelerate and scale local action to protect coral reefs. 

“We are pleased to partner with the Great Barrier Reef Foundation to strengthen our coral reef ecosystems to help build our Pacific resilience.  This is our contribution to the Unlocking Blue Pacific Prosperity initiative, and we are excited with this new funding stream through philanthropic entities,” said Mr Sefanaia Nawadra, Director General of the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP).

The Unlocking Blue Pacific Prosperity (UBPP) initiative to mobilise and secure rapid large-scale investment is a Regional Collective Action under the Implementation Plan of the 2050 Blue Pacific Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent.  This is one of the joint actions under the 2050 Blue Pacific Strategy led by Pacific Islands Leaders with the support of the Council of Regional Organisations of the Pacific, civil society organisations, philanthropic entities and the region’s traditional partners.

The milestone signing of the partnership between GBRF and SPREP heralds a resilient future in the face of the triple planetary crises of climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss.  It also signifies the potential achieved with funding support from philanthropic foundations.

“When you protect and save a reef that catalyses so much potential for our Pacific people as the reef is our nursery for our marine life, it protects our islands as the first line of defence from ocean waves and helps build our national revenues.”

This partnership will channel support to three demonstration sites as Pacific Resilience Hubs for best-practice reef resilience building.

It will also support four Pacific Resilience Accelerators as an avenue to confirm funding for coral reef projects from Pacific countries will also be underway.  The Accelerators will be the platform that connects pipeline projects with donors. These projects will help implement the 2030 Pacific Coral Reef Action Plan.

Coral reefs

Coral reefs dissipate close to 100% of the wave energy that would otherwise impact shorelines, with at last 50% of Pacific Islands living within 1.5 kms of the coast.  Health corals attract tourism, with well-managed reefs also being able to yield, on average, 15 tons of seafood per square kilometre each year.

“The Great Barrier Reef Foundation is committed to creating a better future for coral reefs and the communities that depend on them. We’re proud to partner in the Pacific and share learnings from our work on the Great Barrier Reef and at UNESCO World Heritage reef sites in the Pacific,” said Ms Anna Marsden, Managing Director of the Great Barrier Reef Foundation.

“Unlocking Blue Pacific Prosperity presents an opportunity to bring together partners and investments towards funding goals that contribute to tackling the Pacific’s biggest challenges in climate change, effective ocean management and sustainable food systems.”   

The Reef Resilience Initiative by GBRF with SPREP demonstrates the momentum of the UBPP that was launched at COP28 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates by the Prime Minister of Tonga Hon Hu’akaavemeiliku Siaosi Sovaleni and President of Palau H.E Surangel Whipps, Jr. The Bezos Earth Fund committed USD 100 million in seed funding, with a funding target across public and private partners of USD 500 million by 2030. 

The signing of the GBRF and SPREP partnership took place at the PIFLM53 in Tonga on 28 August, 2024.

Great Barrier Reef Das grösste Korallenriff der Welt

Übersicht Inhaltsverzeichnis: Navigation: Mit einem Klick auf ein Thema in der Liste (links) gelangst Du direkt auf die erste Seite des entsprechenden Abschnitts. Eine Seite weiter geht’s immer, wenn Du irgendwo auf die aktuelle Seite klickst. Um wieder auf diese Seite zu gelangen, kannst Du jederzeit auf den Clownfisch klicken, der Dich die ganze Zeit in der rechten oberen Ecke begleitet und wieder hierher zurückbringen wird. Zusätzlich benötigtes Material: • Internetanschluss • Arbeitsblatt „Great Barrier Reef“ • Diercke Weltatlas • Kopfhörer • versteinerte Korallen – Handstücke aus Schweiz • Lernziele • Intro • Korallen • Korallenriffe • Das Great Barrier Reef • Vorkommen von Korallenriffen • Folgen • Gefährdung • Auswirkungen der Zerstörung • Versteinerte Korallen • Lernkontrollfragen • Quellen

Lernziele In den nächsten 30 Minuten beschäftigst Du Dich mit dem Thema Korallenriffe. Wenn Du alle Seiten durchgearbeitet hast, solltest Du folgende Aufgaben lösen können: • Du erkennst das Great Barrier Reef auf einer Luft- oder Satellitenaufnahme. • Erkläre, was das Great Barrier Reef ist, wo es liegt und weshalb es da existieren kann. • Nenne einige Gründe, weshalb Korallenriffe gefährdet sind und warum man sie schützen sollte. • Begründe, weshalb man auch in der Schweiz versteinerte Korallen findet.

Was sind Korallen? Korallen sind Tiere, die im Meer leben. Da sie sich nicht fortbewegen, sondern fest am Untergrund verankert sind, sehen sie allerdings eher aus wie Pflanzen. Es gibt verschiedene Arten von Korallen. Hier werden jedoch nur die sogenannten Steinkorallen behandelt, welche aus Kalk ein stützendes Skelett aufbauen. Steinkoralle bei Hawaii.

Wie leben Korallen? Korallen ernähren sich von vorbeiströmendem Mikroplankton. Viele Korallen gehen auch Symbiosen („Lebensgemeinschaften“) mit Algen ein, so dass durch die Photosynthese der Algen die Korallen ebenfalls Energie erhalten. Die Algen geben den Korallen auch ihre verschiedenen Farben. Das Bild zeigt eine spezielle Art der Steinkorallen, die auch „Hirnkoralle“ genannt wird.

Korallenriffe Wenn die Korallen absterben, bleibt ihr Skelett aus Kalk am Meeresgrund liegen. Darauf können dann wieder neue Korallenstöcke wachsen. Mit der Zeit, wenn dieser Ablauf sich immer wiederholt, wachsen die Korallen sozusagen in die Höhe und es entsteht ein Korallenriff. Pro Jahr wachsen Korallenriffe nur 1 bis 100 Zentimeter, also ziemlich langsam. Korallenriff der Lisianski-Insel bei Hawaii

Das Great Barrier Reef Das Great Barrier Reef (deutsch: Grosses Barriereriff) vor der Küste Australiens ist das grösste lebende Korallenriff der Erde. Einige beeindruckende Kennzahlen findest Du unten aufgeführt. Das Riff… • … ist über 2000 km lang • … steht seit 1983 unter Naturschutz und UNESCO Weltkulturerbe • … liegt grösstenteils 0.5 bis 3 m unter Hochwasserniveau • … wird von etwa 600 unbewohnten Inseln überragt • … zeigt eine grosse Artenvielfalt: 4000 Weichtier-, über 450 Korallen-, 1500 Fisch-, 6 Schildkröten- und 24 Vogelarten

Great Barrier Reef – Lokalisierung • Links siehst Du ein Satellitenbild, auf welchem Du die Küste Australiens mit dem vorgelagerten Great Barrier Reef erkennen kannst. • Schaue diese Animation an und zeichne in der Karte auf dem Arbeitsblatt die Flugroute und die Lage des Riffs ein. • Überprüfe anschliessend mit dem Diercke Atlas auf S. 118 wo genau das Riff liegt. (Falls der Link nicht funktioniert, kopiere folgende Adresse von Hand in den Browser: http://veimages.gsfc.nasa.gov/9203/a000605.mpg )

Vorkommen von Korallenriffen Trage mit Hilfe des Diercke Atlas S. 172/173 (obere Karte) die Korallenriffe in der Karte auf dem Arbeitsblatt ein. Vergleiche anschliessend Deine Karte mit den Meerestiefen auf S. 164 im Diercke Atlas. Was fällt Dir auf? Formuliere mindestens zwei Bedingungen, die nötig sind, damit Korallenriffe entstehen können. Notiere sie im Heft. Eine sogenannte „Tischkoralle“ bei Hawaii.

Vorkommen – Lösung Vergleiche deine Lösung mit folgenden Angaben: • Korallenriffe kommen nur in den Tropen vor, etwa zwischen 32 Grad nördlicher und südlicher Breite. • Sie bilden sich nur dort, wo die Temperatur des Oberflächenwassers nicht unter 20°C absinkt. Korallen, welche keine Riffe bilden, kommen allerdings auch in kälterem Wasser vor, zum Beispiel an den Küsten der Britischen Inseln. • Weitere Voraussetzungen sind Sauerstoffreichtum sowie Licht. Das Korallenwachstum vollzieht sich daher nur bis in Tiefen von etwa 40 Metern und in nährstoffarmer Umgebung, da sich sonst die Algen zu stark vermehren können und das Licht von der Oberfläche dämmen. Ergänze Deine Notizen, falls die aufgeführten Punkte noch nicht dabei sind.

Folgen Verschiedene Eigenschaften der Korallenriffe haben Auswirkungen: Sie nützen uns Menschen oder haben Folgen für die Tierwelt. Einige Eigenschaften von Korallenriffen sind auf der nächsten Seite aufgelistet. Übertrage die Tabelle ins Heft und überlege, auf wen das Auswirkungen hat! Korallenriff im Roten Meer vor der Küste Israels.

Folgen – Aufgabe Eigenschaft des Korallenriffs: Folgen? … … … … • Vielfältiger Lebensraum unter und über Wasser • Viele Fische • Schöne Formen und Farben • Küstennah, Wellenbrecher

Folgen – Lösungsvorschläge Eigenschaft des Korallenriffs: Folgen: grosse Artenvielfalt der Tier- und Pflanzenwelt Fischerei, Nahrung, Tourismus, Taucher Tourismus, Taucher Schutz der Küstengebiete • Vielfältiger Lebensraum unter und über Wasser • Viele Fische • Schöne Formen und Farben • Küstennah, Wellenbrecher • Der Tourismus ist sehr wichtig für das nördliche Queensland, denn jedes Jahr besuchen etwa 8 Mio. Touristen das Great Barrier Reef!

Gefährdung der Korallenriffe Leider ist die Existenz der Korallenriffe weltweit gefährdet. Verschiedene Gründe tragen zum Absterben der Korallen bei, unter anderem: • Mechanische Zerstörung, z.B. durch unvorsichtige Taucher, welche die Korallen berühren und beschädigen, Schifffahrt, Unwetter, … • Wasserverschmutzung, z.B. durch städtische Zentren, die Sediment- und Düngezufuhr aus der Landwirtschaft, Tourismus, … • Wassertemperaturanstieg infolge des globalen Klimawandels. Dadurch sterben die Algen ab, die mit den Korallen in einer Symbiose leben. Alleine können die Korallen aber nicht überleben. • Handel mit lebenden Fischen, Dynamitfischerei • Der Dornenkronenseestern (siehe Bild rechts),ein natürlicher Feind, der innert kürzester Zeit ganzeKorallenriffsektoren auffrisst. In letzter Zeit verbreitet sich der Dornenkronenseestern sehr stark, vermutlich wegen der zunehmenden Wasserverschmutzung. Der Dornenkronenseestern

Auswirkungen der Zerstörung Die Auswirkungen, die das Absterben der Korallenriffe hat, sind vielfältig. Einige Beispiele: • Schönheit der Korallenriffe ist für immer verloren • Biotopzerstörung, Verringerung der Biodiversität • Wirtschaftliche Auswirkungen (Fische, Tourismus) • Weniger Küstenschutz, mehr Erosion (Landverlust) und Gefahren vom Meer her Fallen Dir noch weitere Auswirkungen ein? Eine „Hirnkoralle“.

Versteinerte Korallen Auch in der Schweiz gibt es Korallen: Im Jura sind 150 Millionen Jahre alte Stücke als Versteinerungen erhalten. • Schau Dir die ausgelegten Handstücke an. Was siehst Du, was fällt Dir auf? • Wie kannst Du erklären, dass diese Korallen im Jura gefunden werden? • Diskutiere Deine Ideen mit den MitschülerInnen. • Überprüft anschliessend Eure Annahmen mit der Erklärung auf der Rückseite des Arbeitsblatts.

Lernkontrollfragen Übertrage folgende Fragen ins Heft und notiere die Antwort dazu. • Wie entstand das Great Barrier Reef? • Wieso reicht das Great Barrier Reef nicht bis vor die Küste von Sydney oder gar bis Tasmanien? • Weshalb ist es wichtig, dass Korallenriffe geschützt werden? • Welche Faktoren sind dafür verantwortlich, dass heute im Schweizer Jura versteinerte Korallen gefunden werden können, die vor 150 Millionen Jahren gelebt haben?

Du hast Dich durch alle Informationen durchgearbeitet. Konntest Du alle Lernkontrollaufgaben lösen und denkst, dass Du die Lernziele erreicht hast? Dann bist Du nun Experte oder Expertin zum Thema „Great Barrier Reef – Das grösste Korallenriff der Welt“ !
