1. Sea-surface Temperatures along the Great Barrier Reef http://mclean.ch/climate/GBR_sea_temperature.htm Average water temperatures range from around 22C in July to around 27C in January. http://www.aussie-info.com/places/qld/barrierreef/ All living organisms are adapted to these temperatures but Great Barrier Reef could lose 95 percent of its living coral by 2050 should ocean temperatures increase by the 1.5 degrees Celsius projected by climate scientists. http://news.mongabay.com/2005/1117-corals.html
