OTIRS is a unique research facility located in the centre of the Capricorn Group of the Great Barrier Reef. The facility is managed by the University of Sydney.
A study at @OneTreeIslandRS on the Great Barrier Reef found that extreme heat in 2024 caused massive coral die-off. Even heat-resistant corals struggled.
