I just got back from a trip to Cairns and the reef is basically gone in the few locations I visited. 20 years ago it was like swimming in a Disney movie with Nemo. Now you might as well be swimming off the rocks at Batemans Bay.
The 21/22 bleaching event has finally killed the reef I think.

- titzer 4y agoThis is so depressing. I was never diver, and now it looks like that too is going to be a thing of the past.
