Pollution and The Great Barrier Reef
Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, the world’s largest coral reef system is suffocating under a shroud of mud mixed with toxic pesticides that have washed off farmlands. Many of its 2900 individual coral reefs and 900 islands are unlikely to survive the next five to ten years. Many insure reefs are now highly degraded or dead having collapsed due to the effect of sediment and nutrients pouring out of the rivers.
