Calypso I - PRIVATE CHARTER 26TH March 2008
During our recent Private Charter from Dunk Island we got up close and personal with some local dolphins, they were happy to see us and decided to just 'hang out' for a while beside our beloved vessel Calypso I. This 30' Procat is purpose built for diving and snorkelling. Private Charter is all about YOU and what you like to do. Surveyed to take up to 18 passengers its a great day out for the family and/or friends.... |

Coral Reefs Declining Fast
Nearly 1,554 sq km (600 sq miles) of reef have disappeared each year since the 1960s - twice the speed at which rainforest is being lost.
The corals are vanishing at a rate of 1% per year, a decline that has begun decades earlier than expected.
Details of the survey appear in the journal Plos One.

Coral
Polyps take their nourishment from planktonic4 prey, including simple single-celled algae5 called zooxanthellae6(pronounced zoo-zan-thelly). Coral that lives off zooxanthellae expands faster than that which doesn't. Coral comes in various colours, shapes and sizes. Some agglomerations create features such as bommies7 and drop-off cliffs8. Coral displays many vibrant colours as a result of live coral and its algae that can reach an age of hundreds of years. To see these wonderful colours it is best to view the coral at night using a halogen lamp shone from above. Every year, around the full moon in November, the sea spreading up the reef from Lady Elliot Island in the south gradually turns pink. This is due to 135 species of hard coral releasing their eggs and sperm for fertilisation. It takes about two weeks for coral to reproduce before the water appears clean again.
