Mashable: Scientists on an expedition to Jarvis Island in the Pacific Remote Island Marine National Monument have found devastating loss of corals due to record warm ocean temperatures from April 2015 to May 2016, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said Wednesday. Jarvis is an unpopulated island about 1,500 miles south of Honolulu, and it is typically a treasure trove of biological diversity. According to NOAA, the area has the highest fish biomass, which measures the total amount...
Climate Change Killing Off 35% of Great Barrier Reef Coral
2016-05-30 17:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Telesur: 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 US$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 Great Barrier...

Bleaching kills third of coral in Great Barrier Reef's north

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...

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.

Australia: Bleaching kills off 'third of Great Barrier Reef coral'

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...
