Yale Environment 360: Great Barrier Reef Affected By Bleaching ARC Coral Reef Studies An aerial shot of the Great Barrier Reef in early April. Record high ocean temperatures in the western Pacific have caused more than half of the Great Barrier Reef to undergo a mass coral bleaching event this year, according to a team of Australian scientists conducting aerial surveys. Corals thrive in a narrow temperature range, and when waters warm above normal--as they have this year from climate change and a strong El Nino--the...
