Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
The Great Barrier Reef is one of the most iconic natural wonders on Earth. Located off the Queensland coast of Australia, it is
home to a vast array of marine life, including coral reefs, fish, and other marine mammals. In 1975, the Australian government
established the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park to preserve the reef from human activities. In 2004, the government expanded the
park's fully protected areas from 4.6% to 33.3%, making it the world's largest protected marine area at 344,400 square kilometers.
Despite the creation of the marine park, the Great Barrier Reef is under threat. When corals get stressed, they expel the colorful
marine algae living inside their tissues called zooxanthellae. Zooxanthellae provide the coral with food and energy from the sun,
allowing them to grow and reproduce. Without zooxanthellae, corals appear transparent and reveal their white skeletons. This is
called ‘coral bleaching’. Coral bleaching can be caused by several factors, including heat stress from raised water temperatures
and increased UV radiation. A temperature increase of just one degree Celsius for only four weeks can trigger bleaching. If it
persists for long periods (eight weeks or more) corals begin to die. In the last two decades, the Great Barrier Reef has experienced
six mass coral bleaching events, with the most recent in 2022. Coral reefs can recover from coral bleaching, but they need time
and the right conditions. Typically, it can take around ten years for coral reefs to fully recover. However, if corals continue to get
bleached every year or two years, there will not be enough time for coral reefs to have any chance at meaningful recovery.
Climate change, which causes temperatures to rise on our land and in our oceans, is considered the biggest threat to the Great
Barrier Reef and coral reefs around the world. Thus, we need urgent action on climate change to drastically reduce global
emissions, but that alone is not enough. In addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, we must make coral reefs more
resilient and help them adapt to the warmer temperatures already caused by climate change.
