This is expected to lead to extensive losses of obligate coral-dependent fishes. Here, we use a novel, spatially-matched census approach to examine the nature of fish-coral dependency across two mass coral bleaching events. Despite a >40% loss of coral cover, and the ecological extinction of...
The Great Barrier Reef in Queensland has suffered several mass bleaching events due to the impacts of climate change. The Australian government turned down a proposal for a new open-cut coal mine near the Great Barrier Reef, considering environmental laws and the risk of"irreversible damage”. It...

High ocean temperatures lead to coral bleaching High ocean temperatures lead to devastating coral bleaching 02:56 The Great Barrier Reef – the world's largest reef system that's "one of the richest and most complex natural ecosystems on Earth" – is once again undergoing a mass coral ...
Last year the Great Barrier Reef – the largest coral structure on Earth – saw unprecedented bleaching due to extremely warm ocean temperatures. In major parts of the remote northern sector of the reef, two-thirds of the corals ultimately died. Article content This wa...
“The Reef has had significant bleaching events, particularly in the past five years. But there’s still a lot of good coral out there. When bleaching occurs, or cyclones — you have to move. That’s practically what everyone has done”. ...
One quarter of the Great Barrier Reef suffered severe bleaching(漂白) this summer in the most widespread outbreak ever witnessed, according to analysis of aerial(天线)surveys of more than 1 ,000 individual reefs released on Tuesday.Dr David Wachenfeld, chief scientist at the Great Barrier Reef ...

Hughes said he took about 11 flights over nine days in March criss-crossing the full length of the Great Barrier Reef, surveying 1,036 reefs from the air to measure the extent and severity of the coral bleaching. What he saw was unprecedented. “For the first time, severe bleaching has s...
