A trip down memory lane
Making the turnoff and driving down the little winding road into Coral Bay brought back some of the happiest memories of my childhood. Coral Bay was our family holiday destination for a number of years, and the only place I ever saw mum actually swim in the ocean! Cresting the hill past the Welcome to Ningaloo sign, the backpackers was still there, the shopping arcade, the red quad bikes, the green strips of lawn with hot, salty sprinklers...ah! The nostalgia! Thankfully, it's still the quaint one-street town I know and love.
Sadly, I can't say the same for the reef. When I eagerly dove in, I was horrified to discover the reef completely dead, covered in algae, and no fish life. The eeriest part was that it was totally silent; no clicks and crunches that indicate a healthy reef ecosystem. I swam and swam out desperately to try and find any life, but came across nothing. I couldn't bear it any longer and swam quickly in, had a little cry and then did some research. Surely I would have heard of a mass reef death somewhere before now?! Well, turns out that in March of this year, 2022, there was a freak massive spawn, which is a natural thing, but the issue was it happened at the time of some bad heat waves and no wind. So the spawn literally suffocated the reef and fish of oxygen, killing the coral and thousands upon thousands of the fish that rely on the coral. It was devastating. In my lifetime this is the first real concrete evidence of climate change I've experienced. Heartbreaking.
So I didn't snorkel again, it was just too distressing. I enjoyed the beach and wandering up and down the town. I even ran into some friends, Deb and Simon, and had sunset drinks at their holiday home. But I have to say I was okay with leaving as planned, hoping to find some healthy reef again down Carnarvon way.

Whale shark, Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia
Tumblr media
Say hello to the largest fish in the world, the whale shark. These gentle giants are not related to whales, despite their impressive size of an average 12 metres in length. Whale sharks are calm creatures which are usually safe for divers to swim alongside. These sharks are filter feeders and consume plankton and small fish by sieving them through their gill plates. There has been a significant decline in their populations, with an estimated 63% decrease in their numbers in the last 75 years. Threats include being hit by boats or tangled in fishing gear and their habitats are being damaged by pollution, coastal development and over-fishing. Advocates work through education and community engagement to help safeguard whale sharks and preserve our oceans.
