Why is coral spawning important? Coral spawning is the largest synchronised reproductive event on the planet. This annual burst of life does more than create a spectacular natural event, it fuels the future of our coral reefs. For researchers, spawning is the foundation of recovery and resilience. It opens an extraordinarily narrow window to collect vital data, accelerate restoration efforts and support the next generation of corals. Act now for a better Reef tomorrow.

Tonight’s the night!! Coral spawning; the largest reproductive event on the Great Barrier Reef! 🪸 Cued by the lunar cycle, water temperature and tides, corals throughout the Great Barrier Reef will soon simultaneously release bundles of egg and sperm, millions of them! All at once. Stay tuned over the coming days as we watch, and wait, to see the next generation of corals begin life on the Great Barrier Reef! Featuring Master Reef Guides Dr Eric Fisher with GBR Biology. Footage by IG/underwater

Look up tonight and you’ll see a full moon – a sign that in just a few days time, corals across the Great Barrier Reef will synchronise for the largest spawning of the year. Enjoy this great video from our researcher Dr Gerard Ricardo celebrating this important event, captured in our National Sea Simulator!

A real smoke show. This is what coral spawning looks like for some coral species, not the classic pink bundles, but a hazy mist that drifts off like smoke. This one also chose to spawn the following early morning during first light, timing its release just after the big night time event. Some corals stagger their spawning to avoid the chaos of the mass spawn, giving their gametes a better chance by releasing them when the water is calmer and fewer other species are doing the same. A quiet little

Release the eggs. The rare sight of a Brittle Star spawning. Like a scene straight out of a sci-fi movie, this incredible moment shows a Brittle Star releasing thousands of tiny, glowing green eggs into the night creating new life. Captured by Daniela Rakos, who happened to be in the perfect spot at the perfect time: “At first, I thought I was watching a Brittle Star performing a psychedelic dance. Then I realized it was releasing its green eggs into the water. What seemed like a mesmerising dan

The Great Barrier Reef has come alive in what's been described as an underwater "breeding snowstorm", and it started right on cue. Scientists are closely tracking the annual coral spawning with the reef's regeneration crucial to its long-term survival. www.7NEWS.com.au #7NEWS | 7NEWS Sydney

This is week's full moon has signalled the countdown. ✨ The Reef is getting ready. Each year, when conditions are just right, Australia’s largest living icon bursts into new life in one of the greatest shows on the planet. This natural reproductive process, known as coral spawning, is an exciting and busy time of year for Reef scientists as spawning provides them with an extraordinarily narrow window for reef research and restoration efforts.

It was an underwater snowstorm on the Great Barrier Reef overnight. 🫧🪸🫧 Coral spawning gifts new life to our Reef releasing enough eggs and sperm into the water to produce trillions of baby corals. This footage was captured on the Whitsundays the moment these tiny bundles exploded into the water. This amazing natural phenomenon represents a critical window for us each year to scale up restoration efforts. While the majority of us slept last night, tourism operators, researchers, Traditional O

A night dive that feels a bit… alien. The water is alive all around you, the reef is loud with crackling, and tiny pink spheres drift past your mask like slow motion confetti. Coral spawning is beautiful, yes, but it’s also wonderfully weird. Not a point of view that generally you will see, but we like to share all sides of the story. A lot of the footage you see of coral spawning is slowed down, but in reality it’s fast paced and very hectic. 📍 Moore Reef with @sunloverreefcruises. Featuring M
