When natural disasters occur they seem to rush in with very little warning striking quickly and leaving destruction and chaos where there was once a peaceful environment. This is not the case with one specific natural disaster silently killing slowly over time. It has become known as 'Sun-dried Tide' taking place in the Great Barrier Reef located off the coast of Australia which was first reported in September 2005.
Natural Disaster in Great Barrier Reef
After researchers happened across a large area of corals that were dying, their first thought was a disease outbreak of some sort. Upon further investigation, researchers gathered hundreds of samples with photos and conducted tests that determined the destruction to be a natural disaster stemming from low tides and sun exposure. At certain times of the year, the corals are exposed to full sunlight and stripped of their algae causing them to become bleached, stressed, and possibly die.
The Great Barrier Reef is not the only coral to be hit by this natural disaster. It is reported that coral across the Indian Ocean and into what is known as the 'Coral Triangle' are also suffering the same effects. The devastation doesn't stop there, though. It has effected areas of Burma, Singapore, Thailand, and other places throughout the region, as well.
