Scientist says rightwing thinktank misrepresented her Great Barrier Reef study

Tara Clark says the central claim of the Institute of Public Affairs' YouTube film attacking her coral report is wrong

A coral scientist whose work is attacked in a mini-documentary from the Institute of Public Affairs says the rightwing thinktank has misrepresented her study.

The IPA says its YouTube film, Beige Reef, is a "must watch" because it shows healthy Acropora corals living at Stone Island, near Bowen. This, the film claims, is in a place where a study published in 2016 claimed all those corals had died.
