The letter, signed by by 'Aquaman' actor Jason Momoa and ocean explorer Philippe Cousteau, among others, reads: 'Over the past five years, three severe coral bleaching events fueled by global warming have caused mass coral mortality.

However the July 20th proposal fell on deaf ears, ending with UNESCO denying the move to list the Great Barrier reef as in danger. The Great Barrier Reef stretches for 1,429 miles along the coast of Australia and it is one of the seven wonders of the natural world, which also includes the Northern Lights, the Grand Canyon and Mount Everest. The Great Barrier Reef was hit with an intense and destructive bleaching even last year - the third time in five years.
