Researchers have analysed a year’s worth of video imagery from the popular Entrance Point boat ramp, adjacent to the Broome Fishing Club, to explore the factors affecting the launching of recreational boats, as part of a broader WAMSI study looking at Human Use in the Kimberley. In total, 6057 recreational boat launches were recorded by […]

New research has demonstrated a previously unrecognised event that can markedly reduce the probability that coral gametes (egg-sperm bundels) reach the water surface and come in contact with each other. Inshore reefs are regularly exposed to higher concentrations of suspended sediments during storms, runoff and dredging. While it has been recognised that suspended sediments can […]
