"The Great Barrier Reef is being hit with a widespread and severe bleaching
event, just three days before a United Nations delegation is due to arrive to
assess the health of the world heritage area.

The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) confirmed the bleaching
is widespread in both the far north and the central sections of the reef, with
the bleaching in the central parts rated as "severe".

Surveys are still underway to assess the full extent of the damage.

The last serious bleaching event on the reef occurred just two years ago."
