Great Barrier Reef – More bleaching

Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is suffering its third mass coral bleaching event in five years, with some reefs that had survived earlier episodes being affected again.

A new survey reveals that 80 reefs between Tully and Townsville have been badly bleached.

“We could see that some of those corals were big enough that they must have survived the 2017 bleaching and now they re-bleached,” said reef expert Terry Hughes.
