The northern and central Great Barrier Reef have recorded their highest amount of coral cover since the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) began monitoring 36 years ago. However, average coral cover in the southern region decreased due to ongoing crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks.

That was last year. This year “Most reefs underwent little change in coral cover.”

Pause in recent coral recovery on much of Great Barrier Reef
