The ocean has absorbed over 90% of the excess heat from global warming and Coral Reefs are struggling to survive. Normally, bleached corals deteriorate slowly as temperature related stress accelerates their breakdown.
In 2016 scientists surveyed the length of the great barrier reef and they found corals that had actually "Cooked," dying directly from the heat itself. This is the worst coral bleaching Australia has ever seen. We need to work together to preserve the pristine marine ecosystems all around us.
