Parts of Australia's beleaguered Great Barrier Reef now have the highest levels of coral cover seen in decades, a government report said Thursday, suggesting the aquatic wonder could survive given the chance.
The reef is still under threat, but the new findings show it could still recover from mass bleaching and outbreaks of crown-of-thorns starfish that feed on coral.
A new report said the northern and central parts of Australia's Great Barrier Reef showed the highest levels of hard coral cover since 1985. But experts still warn the UNESCO World Heritage Site is at risk.
The central and northern stretches of the reef recorded the highest coral cover in 36 years but are still vulnerable to climate change, monitoring group says.
