New Coral Reef Found in Muddy Australian Waters
- "The discovery of hard coral in the area comes as a complete surprise. Conventional scientific wisdom says that no reefs can exist in Australia's warm, muddy coastal waters west of the Great Barrier Reef's northern limits in the Torres Strait. It has always been thought that the gulf was too clogged with sediment for reefs to grow, and the Geoscience Australia expedition had originally set out to investigate the movements of sediment in its waters." - excerpt from The Guardian article at http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,3604,974760,00.html
