Great Barrier Reef Threatened by Offshore Gas Project, Lawsuit Says

SYDNEY—An environmental group filed a lawsuit that seeks to cease a big offshore gasoline venture off Australia’s coast, arguing that it might additional harm the Great Barrier Reef by leading to the release of more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

The litigation, filed Tuesday in Australia’s Federal Court in Melbourne, is the latest step by conservationists to bring more attention to the reef, which suffered another bleaching event during Australia’s most recent summer, its fourth mass bleaching in seven years. Bleaching can kill the corals and happens when water temperatures rise, and this yr’s was notable as a result of it occurred throughout La Niña, a climate sample that usually brings cooler circumstances.
