1. Jennifer Koss:

   We need to act locally and think globally to address these bleaching events. Locally produced threats to coral, such as pollution from the land and unsustainable fishing practices, stress the health of corals and decrease the likelihood that corals can either resist bleaching, or recover from it.

2. Sean Connolly:

   The severity and frequency of these [bleaching] events means slow-growing corals won't have time to come back, if all the coral bleaches and dies, it's no longer a coral reef. The coral skeletons are quickly colonized by algae which turns them dark in color.

3. Terry Hughes:

   We saw record-breaking temperatures all along the length of the Great Barrier Reef, there wasn't a cool portion in the north, or a cool portion in the south this time around, the whole Barrier Reef was hot so the bleaching we have seen this year is the most extensive so far.

4. Jodie Rummer:

   I witnessed a sight underwater that no marine biologist, and no person with a love and appreciation for the natural world for that matter, wants to see, the bleaching now is not just restricted to the hard corals. There’s also extensive bleaching in the soft corals, and it is also affecting anemones and giant clams.

5. Terry Hughes:

   This has been the saddest research trip of my life, almost without exception, every reef we flew across showed consistently high levels of bleaching, from the reef slope right up onto the top of the reef. We flew for 4000 kilometers (2,485 miles) in the most pristine parts of the Great Barrier Reef and saw only four reefs that had no bleaching. The severity is much greater than in earlier bleaching events in 2002 or 1998.
