Abstract

Our research highlights how rising ocean temperatures and coral bleaching are impacting even the world's healthiest reefs, by contrasting the condition of adjacent reef systems over more than two decades.These photographs illustrate the changes in coral communities at the Australian Scott system of reefs through multiple bleaching events.
