The analysis of existing bleaching observations and data resulted in three key outcomes: identification of key bleaching patterns, analysis of contributing factors, and recommendations for future monitoring and mitigation strategies. This desktop analysis of existing bleaching observations and data delivered three key outcomes:

a quantitative assessment of the spatial variability of severe coral bleaching and mortality throughout the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) on regional and within individual reef scales, a quantitative comparison of bleaching observations from a range of observers AIMS, GBRMPA, JCU Centre of Excellence and the GBRMPA COTS control team (implemented by AMPTO) which used a variety of methods and spatial assessments clear science communication and engagement with key stakeholder groups (tourist operators, reef managers and media outlets) in an effort to improve the communication and understanding of the variability and the spatial impacts of coral bleaching throughout the GBR.

This project extended on temperature logger analysis performed in NESP TWQ Project 4.2.
