Great Barrier Reef - stock photo
Aerial photo in September 2017 of a portion of the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Cairns, Queensland, Australia. Parts of the reef have been subjected to a bleaching event which can damage the coral. Above-average sea water temperatures caused by global warming have been identified as a leading cause for coral bleaching worldwide. Between 2014 and 2016, the longest global bleaching events ever were recorded. In 2016, bleaching of coral on the Great Barrier Reef killed between 29 and 50 percent of the reef's coral.
