| Other environmental pressures on the reef and its ecosystem include runoff, climate change accompanied by mass coral bleaching, dumping of dredging sludge and cyclic population outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns starfish. | WIKI |
| [18] In March 2017, the journal Nature published a paper showing that huge sections of an 800-kilometre (500xc2xa0mi) stretch in the northern part of the reef had died in the course of 2016 due to high water temperatures, an event that the authors put down to the effects of global climate change. | WIKI |

| Climate change, pollution, crown-of-thorns starfish and fishing are the primary threats to the health of this reef system. | WIKI |

| The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority considers the greatest threat to the Great Barrier Reef to be climate change, causing ocean warming which increases coral bleaching. | WIKI |
| [61] In 2020, a study found that the Great Barrier Reef has lost more than half of its corals since 1995 due to warmer seas driven by climate change. | WIKI |
| Climate change has implications for other forms of reef lifexe2x80x94some fish's preferred temperature range leads them to seek new habitat, thus increasing chick mortality in predatory seabirds. | WIKI |
| Climate change will also affect the population and sea turtle's available habitat. | WIKI |
| This 35 years plan, titled "Reef 2050 Plan" is a document proposing possible measures for the long-term management of the pollution, climate change and other issues that threaten the life span and value of this global heritage. | WIKI |
| However, whereas the 2050 plan aims to incorporate protective measures such as improving water quality, reef restoration, killing of predatory starfish, it does not incorporate additional measures to address the root cause the problem namely climate change (which is caused by greenhouse gas emissions). | WIKI |
| These forms of pollution have made the reef less resilient to climate change. | WIKI |
| They found that many of the goals have yet to be reached but found more evidence that states that improving the water quality of the Great Barrier Reef will improve its resilience to climate change. | WIKI |
| Other key initiatives providing increased protection for the GBR include thecomprehensive Great Barrier Reef Outlook Report (and its resulting 5-yearly reporting process); the Reef Water Quality Protection Plan; the GBR Climate Change Action Plan; and the Reef Guardians Stewardship Programs which involve building relationships and working closely with those who use and rely on the GBR or its catchment for their recreation or their business. | UNESCO |
| The 2009 Outlook Report identified the long-term challenges facing the GBR; these are dominated by climate change over the next few decades. | UNESCO |
