Good morning. Here's what's happening now:

A new study has revealed large swathes of kelp forests on West Australian reefs have disappeared. The research found the ocean off WA had warmed twice as fast as the global average and since 2000, almost 1000 square kilometres of kelp forest had been lost.

Here's what's coming up:

  • 7:10am AEST: Deputy Labor leader Tanya Plibersek will be on AM

  • 12:45pm AEST: Senator Nick Xenophon will make a speech at the National Small Business Summit in Brisbane
