Coral makes comeback on Great Barrier Reef
Coincidentally I went diving on the GBR last week, and from personal observation, it's in way, way, way worse condition that it was 20 years ago.<p>There are massive sections of bleached coral, huge dead patches and way less fish life.<p>Here's how it looked last week: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0h0j0PSqaY" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0h0j0PSqaY</a><p>In 2015 the Aussie government tried to have it de-listed as a UNESCO site so they could dredge it (Nobody had ever asked UNESCO to be <i>removed</i> before). Though they failed, they are dredging all around it as close as possible, and the run-off from all the intensive mono-crop farming on the mainland is not helping either.
