Retrieved from https://theconversation.com/climate-explained-why-we-wont-be-heading-into-an-ice-age-any-time-soon-123675 Carbon dioxide levels are over 400 parts per million and are likely to stay there for thousands of years, so we will be living in a warmed and changed climate for many generations to come.

• Australia Government: Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment. Australian Antarctic Division. (2014). Ocean Acidification Experiment. http://www.antarctica.gov.au/science/human-impacts/foce-experiment Scientists conducted an experiment that saw them increase CO2 concentrations in two chambers of water. A variety of observations and measurements were taken to determine how benthic marine habitats respond to decreased seawater pH. Ideas to consider when reading this article: What is Ocean Acidification? What are its effects on organisms? and How does it affect food webs? What are strategies to reduce its effects on oceans?

• CSIRO. (2020). Harvesting coral spawn slicks using industrial technique https://www.csiro.au/en/Research/OandA/Areas/Coastal-management/Reef-capability/Coral-spawn-harvesting Restoring coral reefs is a global challenge that has been attempted around the world, with previous research achieving varying levels of success at small and localised scales. CSIRO, together with other leading Australian research organisations, is assessing the prospect of implementing restoration at the scale of the entire Great Barrier Reef.

• IUCN. (n.d.). Mangrove Restoration. https://www.iucn.org/theme/forests/our-work/forest-landscape-restoration/mangrove-restoration IUCN are producing a global map with cutting edge analysis on the potential for, and challenges to, mangrove restoration. The map aims to stimulate commitment among decision-makers and investors for mangrove ecosystem restoration on a landscape scale.
