Crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) are large marine invertebrates which feed on coral as adults. They are native to the Great Barrier Reef. Adult COTS have an enormous appetite for eating hard coral. An adult crown-of-thorns starfish can consume up to 10 m2 of coral a year. 😨😵 Outbreaks of COTS are responsible for loss of reef-building corals on the Great Barrier Reef and elsewhere. Scientists and managers work together to understand outbreaks and develop ways to control them. Here we found one o

This video shows the manual collection of adult Crown-of-Thorns Starfish (COTS) in an affected reef area. In a short period of time, a large number of adult COTS were removed, clearly showing signs of an outbreak. These starfish feed on live corals and, when left unchecked, can cause severe and rapid reef destruction. Manual removal is one of the most effective and environmentally responsible ways to control COTS populations in sensitive reef ecosystems. Early intervention helps protect healthy

A feast for your eyes 👀 The giant triton is a large marine snail that munches on crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS). The starfish banquet upon corals, decimating the Great Barrier Reef during outbreaks. Despite being a spikey and toxic meal (COTS have a highly toxic coating), tritons are effective hunters of the starfish.

Ever wondered how we help control crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS)? 🛥️ ⚓ Join Josh onboard 'Odyssey', a COTs control vessel with Pacific Marine Group. Primed and ready for a 10-day trip on the Great Barrier Reef, Odyssey's crew will visit several sites to undertake COTS control. When outbreaks are identified, a crew of divers will scour the Reef, and inject COTDS with a vinegar mix, which is fatal for the starfish. The COTS will then break down naturally, providing an easy meal nearby inhabitant

What the COT? ✴️ You may have heard of crown-of-thorn starfish, and how they can be a pest on the #GreatBarrierReef, but have you seen how theyre actually controlled to protect coral? 🪸 As part of the Tourism Reef Protection Initiative, our trained team of Eye on the Reef surveyors and Master Reef Guides are actively responding to these coral eating predators by removing excessive individuals.
