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%...

Grist: To the shock of no one, it turns out that coal dust is pretty bad for just about everything. People? Turns their lungs the wrong color. Rats? Plaque in the arteries. Corals? Turns out when you spill a lot of coal dust into the water, they don`t do so well either. In a Nature Scientific Reports article titled "Simulated coal spill causes mortality and growth inhibition in tropical marine organisms," scientists from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies and the Australian Institute...
