The Great Barrier Reef, located off the east coast of Australia, is showing signs of coral recovery following a recent heatwave. A study by the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) found that some parts of the reef are experiencing coral recovery. Corals can become stressed due to temperature and other factors, but they can recover when conditions are favorable. The Great Barrier Reef has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1981 and is under threat due to global warming. The reef's condition is monitored through annual reports by AIMS, which have recorded positive developments in coral recovery.
