One Tree Island Research Station

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.

Our @OneTreeIslandRS unsung heroes, Ruby and Heinrich share what life is like on the Great Barrier Reef as station managers!

From planning groceries to accessing health care, life looks slightly different from the average Australian's 🏝️

The crown-of-thorns starfish is on the march again, gobbling up vast areas of the #GreatBarrierReef. Science researchers Professor Maria Byrne and PhD student Monique Webb discuss why these starfish switch to a broader diet as they mature. Learn more: https://t.co/AkQe37gqae
