The 27-year decline of coral cover on the Great Barrier Reef and its causes
evidence
Mean hard coral cover on surveyed Great Barrier Reef sites fell from 28.0 per cent in 1985 to 13.8 per cent in 2012, with roughly forty-eight per cent of the loss attributed to tropical cyclones, forty-two per cent to crown-of-thorns starfish and ten per cent to bleaching. V55 verification basis: not consulted; the cover figures and the three attribution percentages are stated from the producing model's knowledge of this widely cited result.
A evidence is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
