Agencies say 22% of Barrier Reef coral is dead, correcting 'misinterpretation'

The data from in-water surveys, released on Friday afternoon, was from the two agencies that were part of the national coral bleaching taskforce. Earlier this week their non-government partner the Australian Research Council centre of excellence for coral reef studies released broadly similar data. Guardian Australia...
