🇦🇺AUSTRALIA FIGHTS TO PRESERVE GREAT BARRIER REEF
Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek unveiled a $130 million bid to reduce nutrient and pesticide runoff, improve invasive species management, and support better land management across some of the most vulnerable spots along the reef.
The Great Barrier Reef is a 2,300-kilometre (1,400-mile) long expanse, home to a stunning array of biodiversity, including more than 600 types of coral and 1,625 fish species.

This is causing massive stress on corals and widespread bleaching 😱Immediate action is crucial to prevent irreversible damage! Even if global temps are limited to 1.5°C, 90% of corals could be lost 😭 #SaveOurReef before it's too late!

🚨 @noaa says the planet is currently experiencing the 4th global coral bleaching event on record & the 2nd in the last 10 years. Our Earth is on fire & yet science & mentions of climate change are being challenged. While Fl corals still recover from 2023 devastating bleach.
@LOUISAGUIRRE@NOAA You are right Louis, The continued coral bleaching is a wake-up call. We must act now to protect our reefs and fight climate change. #SaveOurReefs
