S1E22: The Great Barrier Bleach: Green Pulse Ep 22

Green Pulse Episode 22: The Great Barrier Bleach


12:36 mins


Synopsis: Green Pulse is an environmental podcast series at The
Straits Times which analyses the beat of the changing
environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate
change. 


In the first of two episodes, ST’s environment correspondent
Audrey Tan and climate change editor David Fogarty chat with Dr
David Wachenfeld, chief scientist at the Great Barrier Reef
Marine Park Authority in Townsville, Queensland, on the ongoing
bleaching event at the Great Barrier Reef.


For the first time, severe bleaching has struck all three regions
of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef - the northern, central and now
large parts of the southern sector. It is the third bleaching
event in five years and scientists say climate change is playing
a direct role. 


Tune in to find out why bleaching is such a threat and what it
means for the reef’s future.
