Devastating Great Barrier Reef bleaching map leaked
Posted: Tue May 10, 2022 12:22 pm
Map was apparently being withheld for the Australian federal election. (EDIT) has since been released.
Incumbent Morrison Liberal Government has been accused of corruption over reef matters, having given $400m to a dubious reef foundation, and otherwise doing nothing much to solve climate change and a lot to make it worse.
Map shows extreme bleaching over much of the reef. It is a La Nina year (supposedly meant to bring cooler waters to the GBR), so the next El Nino event will likely be truly devastating.
Bleaching has also been reported in recent years on Australia's west coast at Ningaloo.
