Temperate Reefs 

Australia’s temperate reefs are home to coral species found nowhere else in the world.

Temperate reefs have adapted to warming oceans faster than tropical reefs, so they could act as refuges for tropical coral species that might otherwise be lost to climate change.

Visit our Centre today to learn more about our temperate reefs and how we can protect and nurture them.
