'The Great Barrier Reef will continue to deteriorate as the impacts of global
warming are "locked in", a report on its status has found.

And despite coral reefs doing better than expected, urgent action is required
for the reef's long-term survival as a narrowing window to save it inches
closed.

The Great Barrier Reef Outlook Report, tabled on Friday in the Senate, gives
a long-term lens on what the reef can expect to look like based on the past
five years.

"Future warming already locked into the climate system means that further
degradation is inevitable," the report said.

"This is the sobering calculus of climate change."'
