>>Recently a number of crocodiles have been trapped in the Mary River, just 105 kilometres north of Noosa and 250km south of their usual range.

Irukandji jellyfish too, appear to be expanding south, with 10 suspected stings near Fraser Island and a child stung at Mooloolaba last year.

Numerous tropical fish have been recorded up to 1,000 kilometres south of their traditional range, such as the Great Barrier Reef’s lemon-peel angelfish which turned up on Lord Howe Island in 2009, and habitat-modifying sea urchins have landed in Tasmania.<<

Climate Change Marches On.

Saw two proposals today.

One from the 1950s was to dam to Bering Strait to melt the ice to the north.

One from 2001 was to dam the Bering Strait to stop the ice to the north from melting.

Sign of the times.

That’s good isn’t it. Tropical species extending their range.

If you don’t mind being stung to death by an Irukandii, or eaten by a crocodile. Environmentally, the new arrivals invade established habitats and ecosystems, forcing local species out or creating havoc in their new environment, also to the detriment of local species.
