Effects of climate change on Great Barrier Reek Rising sea temperature Rising sea temperatures have adverse effects on the Great Barrier Reef (Johnson and Marshal 2007). According to Johanna and Marshal (2007)‚ increased temperature has a significant role in destroying aquatic life because sea animals have a particular body heat limit to survive in the ocean. As a result of enhanced heat‚ this limit has extended beyond that limit (Laugh and Hobdy 2011). For example‚ 8 years ago summer weather was
