Coral reefs, which are highly valued for their aesthetic appeal and ecological importance, are seriously threatened. This collection of carefully shot underwater photo sequences covering the whole Great Barrier Reef at different times and places is an invaluable resource for understanding and mitigating the negative effects of commercial overfishing (COTS) on these fragile ecosystems. Due to the predatory nature of the crown-of-thorns starfish coral reefs face significant threats necessitating urgent innovation in methods to control their population.
