Lord Howe island faces ‘major’ coral bleaching as ocean temperatures continue to break records | Environment | The Guardian | Coastal Restoration | Scoop.it

From www.theguardian.com - March 5, 8:27 PM

Hunter Santana's insight:

Excess ocean temperatures is causing a coral bleaching event outside Lord Howe island, east of Australia. The reef is noted in the article as being "world’s most southern coral reef."

Cameron Montgomery's comment, March 6, 4:12 PM

The coral reefs off the coast of Australia plays a huge role in the ecosystem for that part of the world, not just in the way of fish and wildlife but also in the way of tourism for Norwalk Islands or Australia in general. Once coral gets bleached their is no turning back for that part of the world.

Hunter Santana's insight:

Several coral reefs have been displaying signs of bleaching by rising ocean temperatures. The reefs can only recover if the amount of greenhouse gasses is reduced.
