The Great Barrier Reef
off Australia’s east coast is “in the worst state since records began” and in
40 years large swathes of coral structures will be replaced by seaweed and
algae, scientists told a senate inquiry.
A senate committee heard
from scientists from the Australian Coral Reef Society and the University of
Queensland, who gave evidence before the first hearing of the inquiry in
Brisbane, Queensland, reports the Australian Associated Press.
They are investigating how
the Australian and Queensland governments have been managing the reef, and will
decide with UNESCO next year if it should be listed as a world heritage site in
danger.
