Marine scientists have found that parts of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef have recorded their highest levels of coral cover since monitoring began nearly four decades ago, although they warn the reef’s recovery could be swiftly undone by global warming.
The Australian Institute of Marine Science, a government agency, began monitoring Earth’s largest reef system 36 years ago.
