The document discusses the potential impacts of climate change on the Great Barrier Reef. Rising sea temperatures have caused mass coral bleaching events in 2016, 2017, and 2020 that have damaged over 90% of corals. If global warming continues unabated, the reef is likely to experience more frequent bleaching events that could devastate the ecosystem and compromise its ability to recover.
