The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority released this important “Health update” yesterday …
A sixth bleaching event has been confirmed in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) according to a new aerial survey.
Such a “bleaching event” was recently predicted – see LearnFromNature post
The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority in conjunction with the Australian Institute of Marine Science completed aerial surveys across 750 reefs in the GBR.
They found that the bleaching was significantly consistent with heat stress being experienced in the Reef.
