AMCS Coral Bleaching Webinar
2020-04-09 12:30 - 13:30 (Australia/Sydney)
Last wee, there was confirmation that a mass bleaching was occurring on our beautiful Great Barrier Reef, the third in the past five years.
Today, scientists have released a map showing the extent of the bleaching this summer. At first glance, it’s devastating. But what does it all mean?
With the mass bleaching happening amidst the news of COVID-19, and the disruption that it’s had on our daily lives, AMCS asked a coral reef expert, Professor Morgan Pratchett, to explain exactly what’s been happening on the Great Barrier Reef and to answer your questions.

2019 SeaPerch Challenge
2019-06-01 - 2019-06-02 | University of Maryland, College Park, 4128 Valley Drive, College Park, MD, 20742, United States
Similar to past seasons, this year’s competition will include two in-pool components: an obstacle course and a challenge course.
The Obstacle Course tests high-speed maneuverability and requires your SeaPerch to navigate the course as quickly as possible. The SeaPerch operator must develop the skill to turn and adjust the vertical position (dive or ascend) while driving in full or near full speed and must also be able to quickly reverse the SeaPerch to make corrections if it is off course. Please note: there is no guarantee of the position of the obstacle course hoops at Regional Challenges or the 2019 SeaPerch Challenge, so operators should not try to memorize actions such as in playing a video game but should instead practice a variety of general high-speed maneuvers.
The Mission Course will incorporate a mission that teams must complete with their SeaPerch related to a Rescue and Recovery Mission.
