The Great Barrier pt.2

Obraz
 The Great Barrier is one of the UNESCO World Heritage site, which makes this place even more worthy to save. Some people have suggested installing floating shades to protect corals from bright sunlight that exacerbates bleaching, while others have recommended pumping water up from deep in the ocean to cool ailing habitats. Also human impact isn't very good for the reef, like boaters anchoring near coral ecosystems and people standing on reefs. Some scientists are turning to labs to grow baby corals to be replanted on existing reefs, but this expensive and under-funded solution - is only effective on a small scale. It also requires new coral to be replaced into an acidic, warm, and overall harmful environment, which doesn't address the problem of increasingly toxic waters. So we can see that there are many great ideas and very little time, but in my opinion we should try. We can't give up, because largely it's our fault that water ecosystem is slowly dying. https://

      The Great Barrier Reef, is the world's largest coral reef, located along the northeast coast of Australia, in the Coral Sea (it’s visible from space). Because of the climat changes the temperatures of seas are getting higher, the NASA’s oceanographic probes showed that in some regions they exceeded average temperatures by 2.5 degrees.   It can only mean one thing – our water ecosystem is dying. Not only water creatures suffer, becauase the main problem is coral reef. Because of so high temperatures the corals lose their natural colour and turns white, which means they are dying. One of 43 ideas to reduce the amount of damage was to spray seawater above the reef to use the presence of salt to increase the sunlight clouds reflect back to space and inducing fogs over targeted reefs, again through spraying seawater. Of course those projects are going to take a lot of time and a lot of money, but it’s the right investment, because in the future as dr. Paul Hardisty said (sci
