Australia to Fund Great Barrier Reef Restoration and Protection
BBC - Australia has pledged A$500 million (£275m; $379m) to protect the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef.
In recent years, the reef has lost 30% of its coral due to bleaching linked to rising sea temperatures and damage from crown-of-thorns starfish.
The funding will be used to reduce the runoff of agricultural pesticides and improve water quality.
