Two-thirds of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef recorded the highest amount of coral cover in nearly four decades, a development cheered around the world but one that shouldn’t overshadow how vulnerable the reef remains to climate change and mass bleaching.
The Great Barrier Reef, rich with wildlife and a major tourist draw, has suffered from widespread and severe bleaching because of rising ocean temperatures. The reef was greatly damaged in 2016 and 2017 by underwater heat waves aggravated by climate change. “The reef is now suffering widespread bleaching damage at the rate of more than once every two years,” Richard Leck, the head of Oceans Australia for the World Wildlife Fund , said earlier this year.
