Is a Return to Travel Actually a Bad Thing?

Is a Return to Travel Actually a Bad Thing?

For many of us, it’s been a year since we’ve been able to travel internationally. While dreaming of the day we can travel again, we’ve read stories about nature bouncing back and wildlife returning to areas previously overwhelmed by human activities. But has this break been positive for vulnerable ecosystems? And, if so, should we be concerned about the impending return of tourism? The answer, as you might expect, is complex.
A recent study from the Maldives Whale Shark Research Programme (MWSRP) highlights the issue of tourism-related pressures on megafauna. Researchers found the number of whale sharks with major injuries (from incidents such as boat strikes) increased from 24% in 2006 to 45% in 2019. Seemingly, this link between tourism pressure and injured megafauna should mean less travel must be beneficial. ....

Coral is one of the treasures of the sea, whether it’s illuminating the shallow tropical waters of the Caribbean or hidden in the darker depths of the Pacific Ocean.
Its beauty has not gone unnoticed, however, and coral is often sought after to decorate small and large aquariums, create elegant jewellery and produce medicines. Millions of these highly-prized marine polyps are extracted and sold around the world every year.
Few people realise that coral reefs are actually living organisms. Corals may look like plants, but they are in fact animals. Clustered together in colourful colonies, they use the stinging cells of their tiny tentacles to catch plankton and even small fish. These reefs form some of the earth’s most diverse ecosystems. But m ....

Protecting the parrotfish

Protecting the parrotfish

MARINE ECOLOGIST Dr Anjani Ganase explains the benefits of parrotfish for healthy coral reefs; and urges a ban on parrotfish harvesting. Better yet, we should choose to eat lionfish, and pass on the parrotfish.
While coral reefs are major habitat providers to an array of marine organisms, the ability of corals to continue to grow and provide their important functions is governed by a number of physical and biological parameters. Over the last fifty years, when coral reefs have suffered some of the worst degradations, scientists have discovered an important ally in keeping corals on coral reefs, the parrotfish. Parrotfish are common on coral reefs around the world. As herbivores, they spend their days grazing the reef surfaces for algae. A school of parrotfish can clear large tracts of the reef surface of algae. This action is crucial for new coral larva ....
