different corals grow in warmer climes buddy. corals that are hardier in warmer waters are being planted on the bleached sites. this is why Trunball gifted $440Mn to the fossil fuel tax dodge GBR research org. to get private enterprise to help with remediating the reef. unfortunately many of the planted corals haven't taken or have been bleached too due to the much warmer waters.
the currents now flowing down the eastern of Aus are as warm as equatorial waters. which means that equatorial waters too are seeing bleaching.
read the info in the OP buddy. go to the GBR Marine Park Authority and read the research. go to the NOAA and read what they're reporting.
