Great Barrier Reef
A report says the landmark is "priceless," but if the reef were given a value, it'd be worth billions.
“You can’t be the world’s biggest coal exporter and at the same time be taking action on climate change."
The decline of the iconic reef is now inevitable, experts say.
"To steer coral reefs through the next century, we will need to be bold."
WHAT'S HAPPENING
Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is continuing to feel the impact of climate change. Warmer water is driving out the algae that normally gives the coral its color, causing large-scale bleaching of the reef.
“Clearly the reef is struggling."
A $9 million pilot project aims to protect key areas of the Great Barrier Reef from bleaching.
