Coral bleaching continues on the Great Barrier Reef

Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is still not looking good in 2025 after several coral bleaching events. Rising ocean temperatures, acidification of seawater and other factors have led to continued damage to the coral reef ecosystem, which not only affects marine biodiversity, but also has a huge impact on local tourism and fisheries and other industries that rely on coral reefs, which in turn indirectly affects human economic activities and the living environment.
