"The Great Barrier Reef, which supports an estimated 64,000 jobs and has a
social and economic value of around A$6.4 billion, is under threat due to
human-induced climate change.
Scientists have begun “biobanking”, which involves gathering coral sperm from
the reef during annual spawning. These samples are held in special repositories
and can be used in future to create baby corals via “coral IVF”.
Until now, much of this research has been done without consultation with, or
permission from, the traditional custodians of the sea Countries of origin.
But our recent research looked at how we can do things in a different and more
respectful way by involving traditional custodians in decision-making and
action."
