A nursery for the Giant Shovel-nosed Ray (Glaucostegus typus) in the northern Great Barrier Reef

The Giant Shovel-nosed Ray (Glaucostegus typus) is a large member of the Galucostegidae family of rays, for which there is still much to learn of their biology in northern Australia. Here I document the observation of a previously unknown nursery site for this species on Milman Island reef on the northern Great Barrier Reef, far north Queensland.
