Obituary: Great Barrier Reef
(25 Million BC – 2016)


Climate change and ocean acidification have killed off one of the most spectacular features on the planet. https://shar.es/1EGAbH

RIP, Great Barrier Reef. While I didn’t know you personally, you were on my bucket list. I’ll still make a visit and mediate in your memory. You’ll be missed.

Remember being young and thinking that maybe, one day, you could go scuba diving at this world wonder? See all the beautiful corals pulsing in their alien way, the fish swimming and darting around them? Watch sea stars slowly slide along the seabed?
