This month corals in Lord Howe Island Marine Park began showing signs of bleaching. The 145,000-hectare marine park contains the most southerly coral reef in the world, in one of the most isolated ecosystems on the planet.
Following early reports of bleaching in the area, researchers from three Australian universities and two government agencies have worked together throughout March to investigate and document the bleaching.
