The government agency that manages
Australia’s Great Barrier Reef has downgraded its
outlook for the corals’ condition from “poor” to
“very poor” due to warming oceans.
The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority’s
condition report, which is updated every five
years, is the latest bad news for the 345,400
square kilometer (133,360 square miles)
colorful coral network off the northeast
Australian coast as climate change and coral
bleaching take their toll.
