Re: Death of the Great Barrier Reef
That is very sad to hear this Muddy ........is there nothing that can be done to preserve it at all?...when something like this ceases to thrive then it will definately have a knock on effect on other wildlife systems in the oceans around that area,there needs to be a fine balance in nature and once that balance gets knocked out theres no knowing the far reaching consequences of it

Reports the famed 1,400-mile network of reefs ‘passed away in 2016 after a long illness’ are greatly exaggerated despite mass bleaching, scientists say

Coral is fragile and easily damaged .
Also mans activities ie development always effects the sea concrete etc leaches down to the shore and kills the young fish fry that live at the shore line . Plastic waste has done terrible damage to wildlife too.

Re: Death of the Great Barrier Reef
HiI keep Corals and Marine Fish.
The Great Barrier Reef has suffered irreparable damage, far more than any other Coral system in the world.
There is a very simple reason for this, it is down to Australia's very lax pollution controls.
It will never recover.
