Scientists have confirmed the largest die-off of corals ever recorded on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.The worst affected area, a 700 km swath of reefs in the northern region of the Great Barrier Reef has lost an average of 67% of its shallow-water corals in the past 8-9 months. Further south, over the vast central and southern regions of the Great Barrier Reef, the scientists were relieved to find a much lower death toll. More info;www.coralcoe.org.au
