Tiny Drupella snails are silently devouring the Great Barrier Reef, with one female capable of laying nearly 160,000 eggs—threatening coral recovery. But tourism operators from 26 islands are stepping up, manually culling snails using tweezers during dives, removing over 420,000 so far. These snails target fast-growing corals and thrive in warmer waters, possibly fueled by agricultural runoff. Thanks to this grassroots effort, some areas are now entering a maintenance phase as coral rebounds naturally—proof that dedicated locals can make a real difference.
