The predatory crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) is a key threat to the Great Barrier Reef, in addition to the impacts of climate change, such as coral bleaching and pollution. Outbreaks are becoming more common, believed to be driven by human activity. Recent research shows manual COTS control is effective.
