SYDNEY, Australia — For the last ten years, water temperatures along Australia's famed Great Barrier Reef have been the warmest in 400 years, a major study said on Thursday.Ocean temperatures around the spectacular coral system have increased yearly since 1960, but were particularly hotter during recent mass coral bleaching events, according to a study in the science journal Nature.The warmer waters are most likely down to human-induced climate change, the report said.
Co-author Helen McGregor said she was 'extremely concerned' about the reef, describing the temperature increases as 'unprecedented.''These are corals that have lived for 400 years, and this is the warmest temperatures they're experiencing. These are the Redwood trees of the reef,' she told AFP.
