News Study shows that Great Barrier Reef coral halved in 27 years Australian Institute of Marine Sciences' study, published on Tuesday, has shown that Australia's Great Barrier Reef has lost more than half its coral cover in the past 27 years due to storms, predatory starfish and bleaching linked to climate change. The research by scientists from the Australian Institute of Marine Sciences (AIMS) and the University of Wollongong warned that coral cover on the heritage-listed reef -- the world's largest -- could halve again by 2022 if trends continued. Intense tropical cyclones -- 34 in total since 1985 -- were responsible for much of the damage, accounting for 48 percent, with outbreaks of the coral-feeding crown-of-thorns starfish linked to 42 percent. Two severe coral bleaching events in 1998 and 2002 due to ocean warming also had "major detrimental impacts" on the central and northern parts of the reef, the study found, putting the impact at 10 percent. Two-thirds of the loss had occurred since 1998, with the rate of decline increasing substantially and only three of the 214 individual reefs surveyed across the sprawling 345,000 square kilometre site escaping any impact. "This loss of over half of initial cover is of great concern, signifying habitat loss for the tens of thousands of species associated with tropical coral reefs," the study said. Author Hugh Sweatman said the findings, which were drawn from the world's largest ever reef monitoring project involving 2,258 surveys over 27 years, showed that coral could recover from such trauma. "But recovery takes 10-20 years. At present, the intervals between the disturbances are generally too short for full recovery and that's causing the long-term losses," Sweatman said. The study said cyclone intensities were increasing as the world's oceans warmed and bleaching deaths would "almost certainly increase" as a result of climate changes. "The recent frequency and intensity of mass coral bleaching are of major concern, and are directly attributable to rising atmospheric greenhouse gases," it said. "Mitigation of global warming and ocean acidification is essential for the future of the great barrier reef." AIMS chief John Gunn said it was difficult to stop the storms and bleaching but researchers could focus their short-term efforts on the large, poisonous and spiny starfish, which feasts on coral polyps and can devastate reef cover. The study said improving water quality was key to controlling starfish outbreaks, with increased agricultural run-off such as fertiliser along the reef coast causing algal blooms that starfish larvae feed on. "We can't stop the storms but perhaps we can stop the starfish," said Gunn. "If we can, then the reef will have more opportunity to adapt to the challenges of rising sea temperatures and ocean acidification." He said researchers would try to "better predict and reduce the periodic population explosions" of the starfish and explore whether direct intervention methods could be useful. According to the study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, coral cover would be able to rejuvenate by 0.89 percent every year without the starfish. "So even with losses due to cyclones and bleaching there should be slow recovery," said Gunn. UNESCO warned it was considering listing the reef as a heritage site in danger earlier this year due to the unprecedented gas and coal mining boom in northern Australia and increasing coastal development.

News Luka Rijeka: planirana izgradnja "ljetnog" veza za putničke brodove Ravnatelj Lučke uprave Vlado Mezak potvrdio je planove oživljavanja gotovo nepostojećeg putničkog prometa u riječkoj luci izgradnjom novog, ljetnog veza za putničke brodove, u prvom redu famozne cruisere, na vanjskoj strani Molo longa. Ljetni vez dio je njegovih planova za spašavanje projekta Putničkog terminala, jednog od najvećih promašaja u povijesti riječke luke, čija je izgradnja za mandata Mezakova prethodnika Bojana Hlače, s uređenjem pristupnih cesta, stajala gotovo stotinu milijuna kuna, da bi se kasnije pokazalo kako je izgrađen na krivom mjestu budući da zbog premale dubine mora uz njega ne mogu pristajati iole ozbiljniji brodovi za kružna putovanja čiji se masovni dolazak u Rijeku najavljivao prilikom pokretanja projekta. Niz promašaja Od otvaranja terminala uz njega je pristao jedan jedini cruiser, i to slučajno, zbog nevremena, a putnički promet sveden je na polaske katamarana prema kvarnerskim otocima i dužobalnu liniju u ljetnim mjesecima. U međuvremenu se i odabir koncesionara, ugostiteljske tvrtke Dulcis Vita Zorana Maržića, pokazao jednako promašenim, budući da je zbog neplaćanja ostao bez koncesije, ali i tužio Lučku upravu zbog navodno izgubljene dobiti. Lučka uprava zbog spora trenutno ne može ni raspolagati cijelom zgradom pa je, zbog svega navedenog, Putničkom terminalu javnost s pravom nalijepila etiketu Obrovca riječke luke. Novi ravnatelj Lučke uprave to kani promijeniti, a uz pronalaženje novog koncesionara, jedan od osnovnih preduvjeta za razvoj putničkog prometa je omogućavanje pristajanja brodova uz terminal. Vez ili više njih s vanjske strane lukobrana, prema Mezaku su, s obzirom na poziciju terminala, jedino moguće rješenje za prihvat većih brodova. Prihvatljivo rješenje – Jedan ili dva takva veza bili bi smješteni u neposrednoj blizini zgrade terminala, na potezu prema vrhu lukobrana, što bi omogućilo prihvat cruisera praktički bez ograničenja veličine i gaza, s obzirom na veliku dubinu mora na tom području. Iako taj dio nije zaštićen lukobranom, veliki brodovi ne bi trebali imati problema s pristajanjem, posebno u turističkoj sezoni, kada većina njih i plovi po Jadranu, a u to doba godine vremenski uvjeti su takvi da dopuštaju privez i na dijelovima obale koji nisu zaštićeni. Osim toga, riječ je o privezištu za velike brodove koji su manje podložni utjecaju valova na vezu, a temeljem iskustava s Brajdice koja je također izložena utjecaju valova te mjerenja obavljenih za potrebe gradnje Zagrebačke obale, smatramo da je vanjski vez posve prihvatljivo rješenje koje će omogućiti razvijanje cruisinga u Rijeci, kaže Mezak, dodajući kako će Lučka uprava prilikom odabira budućeg koncesionara u prvom redu voditi računa da to bude tvrtka koja će raditi na razvoju putničkog prometa, kako linijskog, tako i onog na kružnim putovanjima. Što se financiranja izgradnje vanjskog veza tiče, Mezak kaže kako ono još nije definirano, ali je plan Lučke uprave da gradnju veza financira budući koncesionar. Izmjene GUP-a Lučka je uprava Gradu Rijeci i Primorsko-goranskoj županiji uputila prijedlog za uvrštavanje novog privezišta u prostorne planove. Vez je već uvršten u prijedlog izmjena Generalnog urbanističkog plana Grada Rijeke, potvrdio je gradonačelnik Vojko Obersnel. – Zahtjev Lučke uprave je uvršten kao jedan od elemenata izmjene GUP-a, a očekujem da će biti prihvaćen. Nije riječ o najsretnijem rješenju u smislu standarda ukrcaja i iskrcaja putnika, ali s obzirom na zadane okolnosti riječ je o jedinom mogućem rješenju u ovom trenutku, kazao je Obersnel. Koliko će to rješenje problema (koji ne bi ni postojao da je terminal izgrađen na pravom mjestu) koštati, za sad nitko ne spominje. S obzirom na dosadašnja iskustva u igradnji lučke infrastrukture, sigurno je da će biti riječ o novom višemilijunskom trošku za pokušaj spašavanja zajedničkog promašaja Lučke uprave i Grada Rijeke koji krivnju za pogrešno lociranje terminala prebacuju jedni na druge, budući da je Lučka uprava predložila, a Grad svojim prostornim planovima i prihvatio smještaj Putničkog terminala na korijenu lukobrana. No prije ikakve izgradnje Lučka uprava mora riješiti odnose s bivšim koncesionarom i naći novog (pa još i voljnog uložiti milijune u nepostojeći cruising turizam u Rijeci), tako da bi vanjski vezovi još zadugo mogli ostati na popisu lijepih želja riječkih lučkih i gradskih vlasti. Zajedno s cruiserima. Brodove teže dovesti nego privezati Sa stajališta struke, vez na vanjskoj strani lukobrana nije upitan, tvrdi Robert Mohović, profesor riječkog Pomorskog fakulteta. – Cruiseri u hrvatske luke uplovljavaju uglavnom ljeti, kada su ekstremni uvjeti na moru iznimno rijetki, a s obzirom na to da je uglavnom riječ o velikim brodovima, ograničenja bi moglo biti jedino u takvim, ekstremnim uvjetima. Pozicija je ujedno zaklonjena od bure, koja zna zapuhati ljeti, tako da ne bi smjelo biti značajnijih poteškoća s privezom većih brodova. S te strane, važnije će biti pitanje dovođenja brodova u Rijeku, nego njihova priveza kada pristanište bude izgrađeno, kaže Mohović.
