Brief description

This report details the aerial surveys of the 2024 mass coral bleaching event on the Great Barrier Reef. A total of 1,080 reefs were surveyed from the air between the Torres Strait in the north and the Capricorn Bunker Group at the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, with 1001 reefs having sufficient coral cover and visibility to record a bleaching response observation

Statement: Aerial surveys1 are an important and reliable method to provide a broad assessment of coral bleaching across the scale of the entire Reef. These surveys are conducted from low-flying aircraft, at slow speed, during calm, clear weather conditions and low tide. Trained observers can document the percentage of bleached coral visible (white or fluorescent colours) among the shallow-water coral community on the reef flat and upper-reef slope (in waters less than 6 metres deep) and assigning each area of a reef surveyed to one of six community bleaching prevalence categories (see map legend).
