2022 Coral Cover Statistics

IT IS TIME TO CELEBRATE!!

The GBR, as a whole is at record high levels in 2022. The above graph was drawn from the AIMS data released on 4 August 2022. It is an aggregate of the 3 main regions (note AIMS no longer publishes an aggregate for the entire reef).

The file below is a more detailed provisional analysis of the 2022 data.

In this file I explain why I think the coral cover data is useful for resolving large changes in coral cover. There is some controversy on this matter.
