Okay so this whole thing isn’t ideal, but it’s also not as bad as it sounds. Basically on Tuesday there were two Navy AV-8B Harrier fighter jets that had launched from the USS Bonhomme Richard aircraft carrier and were doing a training exercise. They planned to drop bombs on Townshend Island bombing range, but were told by controllers that the area wasn’t clear. The problem was that they didn’t have enough fuel to land with such heavy loads. So they, you know, unloaded. Right onto the Barrier Reef.

To prevent poachers, fisheries, and inconsiderate tourists from damaging the reefs and disturbing its residents, Australia is building a fleet of solar-powered shepherd ships.
