Parts of Great Barrier Reef record highest number of coral in nearly 4 decades, scientists say (msn.com) Marine scientists have found part of the Great Barrier Reef has recorded its highest amount of coral cover in nearly four decades, although they warn the reef’s rehabilitation could unwind quickly because of global warming. An Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) survey of 87 reefs released Thursday found average hard coral cover in the upper region and central areas of the Australian reef increased by about one-third from August 2021 to May 2022. News of the recovery in the reef’s northern and central parts was partly offset by the report’s finding a loss of coral cover in the southern region. There, scientists said, the reef fell prey to an outbreak of crown-of-thorns starfish, which feed solely on live coral.
