Fear for Australia's Great Barrier Reef after mass bleaching | AFP

- The Great Barrier Reef is suffering one of the worst coral bleaching events ever - its fifth in eight years -- and scientists fear it might not be able to recover. Australian Museum's Lizard Island Research Station Director Anne Hoggett has lived on the reef for over 30 years, studying its changes amid increased heat stress on the reef. Lizard Island, a small tropical slice of paradise 270 kilometres north of Cairns, is among the worst bleached areas. The island hosts a research centre where scientists from around the world study Australia’s unique marine ecosystem.

And to think that just this time last year The Great Barrier Reef had the highest level of coral cover since records began! I'll be interested to see what Peter Ridd has to say about this as I prefer to get my information from genuine experts!
Can you inform and show the coral reefs that were 'bleaching' about 3-5 years ago?
LOL. Bleaching is a cyclical event. Climate hysteria yet again.
not hysteria
@@jimmylieb5225 Jimmy brainwashed
Have a look at effluent from copper mines in PNG. 2 one metre diameter pipes straight into sea.
Have the polar ice caps melted yet, are the Maldives under water yet, tell the TRUTH
trump will soon be in prison. Sleepy Don
@@jimmylieb5225 This is about the reef not Trump.
Corals evolved back about 250 million years ago when CO2 was about 1000 times more prevalent in the atmosphere. Corals use CO2 to grow. If corals are sick it is possibly due to the present low level of CO2 in geological terms.
they don't want to talk about that. goes against the agenda/narrative.
reporting you for blatant disinformation.
This 'disaster ' has been happening since I was a kid back in the 90's. 😂😂
I thought they where growing corol so they an replant.
Geoengineering and chemtrails need looking into
There is nothing wrong with the reef, this is propaganda.
You need to talk to Dr Peter Ridd, he’s will put you straight on the perfectly normal cycling of bleaching and recovery. The barrier reef is in rude health, it’s nothing to do with ‘climate emergencies.’
Its actually growing and thriving. Don’t believe the hype.
trump is toast
Are you a climate scientist?
@@Enormous866 no but that's what they are saying. Got your booster yet
@@Enormous866what is climate scientist? What aspects of science you have to know to call yourself a climate scientist? As climate change is involved all the changes in and outside the earth.
@@Enormous866 If a scientist cant question pears without persecution. Science is not science.
Heat stress causing this 😂 its nature leave it be
Natural event. Funny how coralgrow in the warmest seas yet apparently they don't like warmness.Pure propaganda. Booster anyone??
