As a worker the Great Barrier Reef I'm ashamed to look my children in the eye
2016-06-07 01:37:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: As a marine ecologist who has been working on the Great Barrier Reef for 30 years I am today still stunned, often tearful, and ashamed to look my children in the eye. The Great Barrier Reef is undergoing change that means it will never be the same again in my lifetime. It will take decades to regrow. To put this in a global perspective, considering the reef as a whole, an area of the reef the size of Scotland has coral in it that is largely dead. If most or all the coral on a reef bleaches...

Guardian: Coral graveyard: the aftermath of bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef in pictures Dead and dying coral at Lizard Island on Australias Great Barrier Reef. The once brilliant coral is blanketed by seaweed a sign of extreme ecosystem meltdown. These exclusive photographs are from a series taken by not-for-profit the Ocean Agency as part of its work around the world documenting the longest coral bleaching event in history * Great Barrier Reef: a catastrophe laid bare.

Great Barrier Reef authority says media, not activists, misinterpreting the data
2016-06-04 07:37:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: The chairman of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, Russell Reichelt, has played down a report that said he accused activist scientists and lobby groups of distorting maps and data to misrepresent the extent of coral bleaching on the reef. The authority withdrew from a joint announcement from the national coral bleaching taskforce about the extent of coral bleaching earlier in the week because Reichtel believed maps accompanying the research did not depict the full picture. The taskforce...
Agencies say 22% of Barrier Reef coral is dead, correcting 'misinterpretation'
2016-06-03 09:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Almost a quarter of the coral on the Great Barrier Reef is now dead, according to two government agencies, with the previously pristine remote northern sections worst affected. 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...

Best protected Great Barrier Reef corals are now dead
2016-06-02 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: The sweeping reefs growing off 200 steamy miles of remote Australian coastline -- from Cairns to Cape Melville, home to sugar farms and dive resorts -- contained some of the least damaged corals growing in one of the world's best marine parks. Until now. In stunning new findings that have laid bare the limitations of marine parks as defenses against rapid environmental change, more than half of the corals surveyed in large chunks of this pristine stretch of the Great Barrier Reef are expected...
