Cyclones

This video is part of a story at http://climateXchange.aspacnet.org/story_52.html


Climate change will have direct impacts on the Great Barrier Reef, including through increased severity of storms and cyclones and ocean acidification.

The ecological consequences of these changes will be serious, and some have already been observed. As the oceans become slightly more acidic the ability of corals to form their calcium carbonate skeleton will be reduced. Weakened skeletons will also make corals more susceptible to storm damage.

In 2006 Tropical Cyclone Larry, a severe category 5 storm, most heavily damaged Feather Reef, Ellison Reef and Taylor Reef which lie between Tully and Innisfail. Up to 30% of the corals on these reefs were damaged.
