Scientists have discovered a pristine, 1.8-mile-long reef of giant rose-shaped corals off the coast of Tahiti, in waters thought to be deep enough to protect it from the bleaching effects. More here:
The reef, which lies at depths of more than 30 metres , probably took around 25 years to grow. Some of the rose-shaped corals measure more than 2 metres in diameter.
Bleaching is a stress response by overheated corals during heat waves during which they lose their colour, with many struggling to survive.
