It was confirmed by the authorities in which the world's largest coral rocks are experiencing a re-whiteing disaster in the system of the largest coral rocks known as the Great Set Resifi in su waters. Due to the increase in heat in water, this is largely and a common whitening is repeated for the fourth time in the last six years. The Large Set Resifi in Australia open, 2 thousand 300 kilometers and 344 thousand 400 kilometers of the world’s largest coral reef group consisting of over 2 thousand 900 coral rocks and 900 coral islands. This giant area also creates one of the most rich eco-systems in terms of bio-diversity in the world. Only two whitening events were detected until 2016.

Quick steps should be taken]
Science say that people should take steps to cut the speed of urgent climate change to completely die the world’s largest coral rock system. This whitening comes from the same year with the La Niña climate event. Normally La Niña is a climate event that leads to cool weather in Australia. [
Experts are afraid of the disaster that may occur in coral rocks in the event of El Niño climate. Because the El Niño climate event, which has experienced in the region, leads to the heating of the opposite air of La Niña.

] Waters overheated
The last description of whiteening disaster was made by the Large Set Resifi Sea Park Authority in Australia, which continuously monitors the condition of coral rocks. This institution was alerted that some parts of coral rocks in closes, the average of water temperatures from March to 4 degrees Celsius. Whitening consists of throwing alg species organisms, which give them color and vitality because of heated waters. After this disaster, it is possible to relive the rock, but only if the conditions are again straightened. Following the coral rocks, the institution says how to develop the air condition for the next few weeks, the damage that coral rocks see will be decisive in terms of dimensions and severity. The Australian government promised to invest in protective measures of coral reefs, but environmental organizations say that they are not an impact that reduces the main threat from climate change.

] Australia among advanced economies often criticizes the fossil fuel-dependent industry. Earlier this week, the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said that Australia had a country standing in front of the efforts in reducing greenhouse gases that lead to climate change by 2030. Two experts from the BM are currently studying on coral rocks in Queensland. The Australian Nature Protection Foundation reported that a new whitening catastrophic is ‘sink chipper’. In the description of the foundation, "This repeated whitening cases have been a big blow to everyone who loves this incredible nature wonder, the living area of a wide range of marine creatures, as it affects the tourism sector very badly. The first major whitening known was born in 1998, which was repeated in 2002, 2016, 2017 and 2020.
