In June 2016, a Bush Blitz was conducted on four islands in the Coral Sea – East Diamond Islet, South West Coringa Islet, North East Herald Cay and South West Herald Cay. Scientists recorded 175 species, at least 94 of which had not previously been recorded on the islands and two may be new to science. Twenty-eight exotic or pest animal species were recorded.
