There is fresh life on the Great Barrier Reef, where a team of scientists is regrowing coral from larvae to restore damage that may not recover naturally.

Outside magazine wrote an obituary for the Great Barrier Reef, declaring it dead at the age of roughly 25 million years. Not so fast, scientists say.
Dulce Lopez's insight:
There has been a lot of talk this weekend about the Great Barrier Reef being pronounced dead. However, in this article Deborah Netburn a science reporter at the LA Times, states that there simply has been a massive bleaching event but coral reefs are resilient and able to recover from the "brink of death".

I read a lot about this recently too. I find it interesting that "all of a sudden" the general public is concerned that the Great Barrier Reef was pronounced "dead" even though that isn't the case. It's sad to see what is happening right before our eyes to the Great Barrier Reef.

This is interesting how people are so fast to believe something can't be helped and it's easy to pronounced it dead. I think its easier to say something can't be helped than to actually do something about it. That's not only the case for the Great Barrier Reef but for other areas around the world.

Kinda sad to see people give up so easily on an important resource and not take the time to analyze the situation or do proper research.
