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: 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.

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