Great Barrier Reef, Australia
A natural wonder is imperiled, but tourists can help.
Increased sea temperatures, caused by climate change, El Niño and other factors, have caused extensive coral bleaching, mostly in the northern sections of Australia’s 1,430-mile long Great Barrier Reef. The world’s largest living organism — a mosaic of some 2,900 coral reefs and 900 islands — faces serious threats but conservation efforts are bearing fruit, and visitors can play a role in saving the reef. A turtle rehabilitation center on Fitzroy Island welcomes volunteers, as does the Lizard Island Research Station, and a host of other citizen science groups. And new or recently refurbished resorts on Hayman, Orpheus, Pumpkin and Lizard Islands offer idyllic places to explore this fragile, extraordinary natural wonder. — DAVE SEMINARA http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/travel/places-to-visit.html?emc=edit_ta_20170104&nlid=55074996&ref=cta

If it all is destroyed, we all know (or should) we're all on the same path to that result.

Such a brilliant photo; I had thought most of the coral reef was imperiled. Here's a map showing the extent of bleaching. It's encouraging to know that it has not all been destroyed. Thanks, Pat, this made a sparkling puzzle.

Yes, lots of times on Maui. It's a wonderful world under there. Honestly, you forget about the one we live in above it, don't you?

I have in the past in Hawaii. How about yourself?

Do you snorkel, Leanne?

It's so colourful! I regret not learning how to scuba dive when I was younger.
