Add to ORKGIn early 2011, heavy rain associated with a strong La-Niña caused extensive flooding in the Fitzroy catchment, central Queensland. More than 33 million mega-liters of water flowed from Fitzroy River between December 2010 and March 2011, creating an extensive freshwater plume within the southern Great Barrier Reef lagoon. During this period, we recorded high mortality of scleractinian corals on the reef at Great Keppel Island, located <50 km from the river mouth. In particular, there was 100% mortality among 60 tagged colonies of Acropora millepora. Prior to the flood event, annual per capita mortality among tagged colonies was very low (1.1%), whereby only 1 (out of 60 colonies) had died during 18-months of study. This study shows that whil...
