“People need to see these [bleaching] events. They are clear signals the Great Barrier Reef is calling for urgent help and for us to do everything we can.”
“人们需要看到这些(白化)现象。这是大堡礁正在呼吁我们紧急帮助、竭尽所能的明确信号”。
Great Barrier Reef's bleaching[Photo/China News Service] Prof Terry Hughes, director of the Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at James Cook University, surveyed 1,036 reefs from a plane over nine days in late March. The marine park authority also had an observer on the flights.
3月下旬,詹姆斯库克大学卓越珊瑚礁研究中心主任特里·休斯教授在9天的时间里,从飞机上对1036个珊瑚礁进行了调查。海岸公园管理局也派出了一名观察员。
Hughes has released maps showing severe levels of bleaching occurred in 2020 in all three sections of the reef – northern, central and southern – the first time this has happened since mass bleaching was first seen in 1998.
休斯发布的地图显示,在2020年,大堡礁北部、中部和南部三个部分都出现了严重的白化现象,这是自1998年首次发现大规模白化现象以来首次出现这种情况。
Some 25% of the reefs were severely bleached – meaning that more than 60% of the corals on each reef had bleached.
大约25%的珊瑚礁严重白化,这意味着每个珊瑚礁上超过60%的珊瑚已经白化。
