Cricklewood 3 Have to say the recent comments from Jacinda regarding calling out those not following the rules is a miss step I know she said to do it nicely etc but from what I ve seen today at least some people havent seen that part. Saw someone getting really nasty to a stranger at countdown and the calls to punish the rulebreakers are I think counterproductive. All it will achieve is a climate of fear where people refuse to talk for fear of being singled out. Its completely counter productive. David 3.1 Agree. I think the messaging from the PM has been off point in 2021. I’m surprised given it was very clear in 2020. ....
Frist – The government has distributed Covid Cash to employers with gay abandon – not so fast Hoss please hold your horse. You actually have to fill out forms, provide all business and employee details for every employee for which you then get a set amount depending on the criteria and besides in order to get that sweet sweet easy Covid Cash you actually have to prove to have lost quite a bit of business before Grant Robertson is happy to part with what he seems to consider his money. So much so that many businesses in NZ only received the original payment for lockdown l4 that was handed out to pretty much every one in NZ. Never mind, blame everyone for the big businesses that did not need it but took it anyways. ....
Scientists have known for decades of this unusual inter-reef seafloor habitat that lies between the coast and the outer barrier reefs. But they’ve never investigated the diversity of marine life that lives there, until now. In a new study published today in Nature Ecology and Evolution, scientists examined the community of plants and animals that inhabit these unique areas. Let’s go deeper Most studies of tropical marine biodiversity come from shallow coastal and coral reef habitats. We know a great deal about the biodiversity of these parts of the Great Barrier Reef. But beyond the vision of scuba divers, deeper inter-reef habitats on the shelf, such as the bioherms, have been largely under-explored. ....
Great Barrier Reef home to giant doughnut-shaped structures with unique animal and plant communities Posted MonMonday 1 updated TueTuesday 2 The fauna and flora communities on the Halimeda reefs are unique, new research has found. ( Print text only Cancel Giant doughnut-shaped limestone mounds sitting in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, called Halimeda bioherms, have been building up on the seafloor off the Australian coast since the last ice age. Key points: The doughnut-shaped bioherms are at least 10,000 years old, but scientists aren t sure how they get their shape Researchers found more than 1,300 species living on the formations, with around 40 per cent of those species not found on the surrounding inter-reef ....
Mapping the undersea landscape of the reef Four researchers on a boat, despite the pandemic. Overview of Sykes Reef on the Great Barrier Reef from RV Falkor multibeam data. Credit: SOI About 160 kilometres off the Queensland coast, the RV Falkor is exploring the deep blue waters of the southern Great Barrier Reef in search of drowned worlds. The research vessel – operated by the Schmidt Ocean Institute – is nearing the end of a month-long expedition to map undersea features that formed during the last Ice Age, to help us better understand today’s rapidly changing reef environment.
