Great Barrier Reef Decline
Recent findings from the Australian Institute of Marine Science reveal that the Great Barrier Reef experienced its most severe annual coral cover decline in nearly 40 years, primarily due to climate change-induced heat stress, alongside threats from tropical cyclones and crown-of-thorns starfish. Conservationists warn that without rapid climate action, the reef may face irreversible damage, potentially leading to its inability to recover from catastrophic events.
