discovered hundreds of new coral and marine species on the Great Barrier
Reef and Ningaloo Reef which they say will improve monitoring reef
biodiversity and the impact of climate change. Three expeditions to the
reefs over four years to collect the first inventory of soft corals, found
300 soft corals of which 130 were new species, said a report released on
Friday.(Xinhua/Reuters Photo) Photo Gallery>>> |
