Little of Australia's Great Barrier Reef has **w been left unscathed by coral bleaching.
A recent aerial survey by scientists at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies has found the phe**me**n leaving vast stretches of corals bone-white for the second year in a row.

A global bleaching event in 2016 saw an average of 67 percent of corals lost (http://mashable.com/2016/11/28/great-barrier-reef-coral-death/) in the **rth of the reef, and scientists hoped 2017 would offer the delicate ecosystem a reprieve. The survey showed the opposite.
In 2017, scientists found the middle reef worst hit, leaving only its southern reaches untouched. This means two thirds of the reef's corals have **w been impacted by coral bleaching in a zone stretching for 1,500 km (900 miles).* Read more...
