The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) in Australia has experienced multiple mass coral bleaching events, including a recent one that affected the entire length of the reef. Researchers at research stations like One Tree Island and Heron Island have witnessed the devastating impact of the bleaching. However, there is hope for recovery as dead reefs can be reseeded by fertilized eggs from surviving coral colonies. The article highlights the importance of research centers like Heron Island for understanding how reefs can survive in a warming world and for promoting tourism and education. The GBR Marine Park Authority is working to protect and restore the reef, but it is crucial for individuals to understand the real impact of climate change and take responsibility for its preservation.
