Will it tell about mass coral bleaching & mortality at #NingalooReef in 2025❓

‘You realise your children are probably never going to see Ningaloo the way you saw it’ The west-coast reef has largely escaped the curse of coral bleaching that has blighted the Great Barrier Reef. This year, that’s changed.

#NingalooReef "annual surveys of the northern section of the reef in May found up to 90 per cent of coral had been bleached down to 20 metres depth", the "lowest cover of live coral" observed since 2007

"up to 50 per cent of the examined coral was dead in May" but "more would be dead now"

This ancient Australian reef is sending a silent distress call Australia’s Ningaloo Reef is sick, like many coral reefs around the world. And scientists warn reef restoration projects are no substitute for climate action.

We hosted @cnn.com on World Heritage-listed Ningaloo to show the devastating marine heatwave & mass coral bleaching. We're losing these wonders. Climate action is not optional – it's NOW. 🔥 #NingalooReef #ClimateCrisis
