Climate category, third place: Bleached

‘An unprecedented heatwave struck the coast of Western Australia during the summer of 2024-2025. We headed out to document the worst coral bleaching event ever recorded on the Ningaloo reef. White skeletons of suffering corals swept far beyond what our eyes could see. An estimated 60-80% of our reef was bleaching before our eyes.’

Above-average ocean temperatures in the North #Pacific lead to very extensive regions where #coral #bleaching is possible.

We usually associate rising temperature with #reef demise (e.g., #coral #bleaching). But it might be that temperature increase was fundamental to the establishment and formation of the Great Barrier Reef. Not a lot, just 2°C, but it brought carbonate production to the sweet spot to grow. But now #climatechange is shifting it out.

The #GreatBarrierReef was struck by an extremely harsh mass #bleaching event this year, and it looks like parts of the reef are struggling to bounce back. Drone imagery of #LizardIsland’s North Point Reef shows that 97 percent of the bleached coral has died since the event earlier this year.
