What's the future look like?            

             According to a 2012 study by the National Academy of Science, since 1985, the Great Barrier Reef has lost half of its corals. Two-thirds of these losses occurred in 1998 due to environmental threats including: climate change and pollution. However, in our opinion, the future of the Great Barrier Reef is not as damaged as other popular locations on our planet. Taking into consideration the great efforts by the Great Barrier Reef Authorities, Australian government and the Queensland government more restrictions will be enforced as the years pass. If there are continuous improvements on the Great Barrier Reef’s ecosystem and more policies created to preserve the beauty, health and existence of species, conditions will improve and the future will be promising for the Great Barrier Reef.
