S1 E6: Coral Bleaching at Lizard Island with Dr Anne Hoggett

The Marine Park Authority has confirmed the Great Barrier Reef is experiencing its seventh mass coral bleaching event - the fifth in just eight years, driven by global warming 🫠 This week we head to stunning Lizard Island to find out what's causing this disaster and what we can all do to help 🏝️ 

Note: At the end of the episode I mentioned a petition you can sign to help protect the Reef; I've just been notified that the petition is still under construction and will hopefully be live some time next week (from 25 March).
