'Following dire warnings of reef die-off after massive coral bleaching in 2016 and 2017, Tourism and Events Queensland has issued a "positive update" on the status of Australia's Great Barrier Reef, reporting that some affected areas are showing "substantial signs of recovery". '
'Coral bleaching occurs when coral experiences stress from heightened water temperatures or poor water quality. '
'Coral bleaching occurs in multiple stages, according to RRRC Managing Director Sheriden Morris, ranging from the equivalent of a mild sunburn to coral mortality. '
