The unprecedented event, caused by climate change warming the ocean, is being called an environmental assault on the largest coral ecosystem on Earth. Only around 50 percent of the impacted corals are expected to survive, and in some areas, only a mere 10 percent may recover. So heavy is the toll, 56 scientists...
