人类活动导致气候变化,而海洋将吸收93%的地球增温,加剧了珊瑚白化。
Bleaching happens when corals under stress drive out the algae known as zooxanthellae that give them colour.
珊瑚在压力的作用下,会逐出一种赋予其颜色的虫黄藻,从而发生白化现象。
If normal conditions return, the corals can recover, but it can take decades, and if the stress continues the corals can die.
如果回归正常状态,珊瑚能够自我恢复,但通常需要数十年的时间,而如果压力持续下去,就会导致珊瑚死亡。
The latest damage happened without the assistance of El Niño, a weather pattern previously associated with bleaching events.
厄尔尼诺现象此前曾与珊瑚白化有关,但此次白化却与厄尔尼诺现象无关。
The reef - a vast collection of thousands of smaller coral reefs stretching from the northern tip of Queensland to the state's southern city of Bundaberg - was given World Heritage status in 1981.
大堡礁北起昆士兰州最北端,南达南部城市班德堡,成千上万种小型珊瑚礁聚集于此,于1981年成为世界遗产。
The UN says it is the "most biodiverse" of all the World Heritage sites, and of "enormous scientific and intrinsic importance".
联合国赞大堡礁为“物种最为多样性”的世界遗产地,“具有极大的科学价值和内在价值。”
