Climate change drives sharpest Great Barrier Reef coral loss in nearly 40 years
The Great Barrier Reef is experiencing its most severe coral loss in nearly 40 years due to climate change-induced heat stress, cyclones, and coral-eating starfish. An Australian Institute of Marine Science survey revealed that the 2024 mass bleaching event had the largest impact ever recorded, with some areas losing over 70% of hard coral cover. Scientists warn that urgent action is needed to save the reef.
