TribuMagaine: Mass coral bleaching has destroyed at least 35 percent of the northern and central Great Barrier Reef, a major blow to the World Heritage Site that attracts about $3.59 billion United States dollars in tourism each year. The Queensland Minister for Environment and Minister for the Great Barrier Reef, Steven Miles, said Federal Labor's investment would be guided by Queensland's Great Barrier Reef Water Science Taskforce Final Report. When symbiotic algae leave corals bodies and the animals then...

Bleaching kills third of coral in Great Barrier Reef's north
2016-05-30 13:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: Mass bleaching has killed more than a third of the coral in the northern and central parts of Australia's Great Barrier Reef, though corals to the south have escaped with little damage, scientists said on Monday. Researchers who conducted months of aerial and underwater surveys of the 2,300-kilometer (1,400-mile) reef off Australia's east coast found that around 35 percent of the coral in the northern and central sections of the reef are dead or dying, said Terry Hughes, director of the ARC Centre...

Mass coral bleaching cast shadow over future of Great Barrier Reef
2016-05-30 13:29:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Mass coral bleaching has destroyed at least 35 percent of the northern and central Great Barrier Reef, Australian scientists said on Monday, a major blow to the World Heritage Site that attracts about A$5 billion ($3.59 billion) in tourism each year. Australian scientists said the coral mortality figure will likely rise as some of the remaining 65 percent of coral in the northern and central reefs fails to recover from bleaching. The report casts a shadow over the long-term prospects of the...
Australia: Bleaching kills off 'third of Great Barrier Reef coral'
2016-05-30 08:12:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Al Jazeera: Mass bleaching has destroyed as much as one third of the coral on the northern and central Great Barrier Reef in Australia, according to a research. Australian researchers found that around 35 percent of the coral in the northern and central sections of the reef is dead or dying, Terry Hughes, a professor with James Cook University, in Queensland, said on Monday. The findings, based on months of aerial and underwater surveys of the 2,300km reef off the country's east coast, are a major blow...

Great Barrier Reef: Bleaching 'kills 35% of area's coral'
2016-05-30 04:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: At least 35% of corals in the northern and central parts of Australia's Great Barrier Reef have been destroyed by bleaching, Australian scientists say. The experts from James Cook University (JCU) say it is the most extreme case of mass bleaching they have ever measured at the World Heritage Site. Bleaching occurs when warmer water causes coral to weaken and lose the colourful algae that provide oxygen and nutrients. It has been linked to climate change. "We found on average, that 35%...
