At the moment I am working for a project known as HARC. Humpback whale Acoustic Research Collaboration. We're looking at how the migrating whales (some with calves about 2 wks old) are affected by man-made acoustic sounds. We immitate sounds produced by the likes of Navy, Oil/Petroleum industry etc. To me it's an interesting concept - and perhaps a story is there. I can put you in touch with the right people if you are interested. Involved are UQ, Sydney Uni, Curtin Uni, DSAT and some Oil/Petroleum industry members. Good luck with the application - you'd be great. Jody HI Mick,

I think the dependance on this complex ecosystem could be investigated, with differeing opinions on how the reef contributes to the lives of North Queenslanders and how they feel it might be changing for better or worse. Fishing and tourism are just 2 of the potential categories through which the reef feeds into the Qld economy and way of life. Also to be investigated would be the imapcts that our use of the reef is having on the reef itself. Over fishing, high levels of tourism, shipping etc, would all be affecting the reef and potentially in some ways people don't realise. Investigating that might be quite revelatory on how much Qld cherishes, or is reckless, with one if its greatest natural resources. Hi Mick

Probably primary aged school children - that would be so cool to see what they came up with!
