Nature World News: We all have heard about the massive coral bleaching that wiped off 93 percent of the magnificent Great Barrier Reef. So why is Australia's heritage site not included on United Nations' list of world heritage sites threatened by climate change? Apparently, the Australian government does not want their name of the list because it might negatively impact their tourism industry. In an exclusive report, The Guardian Australia revealed how the report was altered. According to The Guardian, the initial...

Environment News Service: One-third of the corals in the northern and central parts of the Great Barrier Reef are bleached out and dying due to climate change, according to Australian researchers. The scientists have just finished months of intensive aerial and underwater surveys that documented the worst-ever bleaching event in the reef`s history. "We found on average, that 35 percent of the corals are now dead or dying on 84 reefs that we surveyed along the northern and central sections of the Great Barrier Reef, between...

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...

Climate Change Killing Off 35% of Great Barrier Reef Coral

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...
