The current state of The Great Barrier reef is not very good. It is suffering from major coral bleaching, which is when the coral endures stress it expelles the algae that give it its color. most reefs recover if the stress is removed, however the reef has been under stress for a long time for a reef to recover. In fact parts of it have already died from this coral bleaching. the coral bleaching is caused a rise in water temperatures.
