Key points
Results show the reef has some of its highest levels of coral cover on record.
But scientists warn coral coverage is not the only marker of the health of the reef ecosystem.
The Australian Institute of Science says coral cover on the Great Barrier Reef has fluctuated greatly over the past 15 years.
And the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies has found the number of coral species has halved in the past 20 years.
Mass coral bleachings are having “cascading effects on community composition and ecosystem functioning

Mass coral bleaching events hit the Great Barrier Reef in 1998, 2002, 2016, 2017, 2020, 2022 and in the summer of 2024. AIMS’s most recent coal survey was largely completed last year, before the most recent bleaching event.
