‘And then we wept': Scientists say 93 percent of the Great Barrier Reef now bleached.
Expansive aerial and underwater surveys show that 93% of the Great Barrier Reef system has been ravaged by coral bleaching.
Researchers flew over 911 reefs to map out the extent of bleaching along all 1400 miles of the world's largest coral reef system, according to a report released by the Australian Research Council Center (ARC) of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies. The survey found that only 7% of the reef system was not affected by coral bleaching.
