The group is just one of a number of reef formations off the northwest coast of Australia and belongs to Western Australia. Further to the northeast are Ashmore and Cartier Islands, and to the southwest are the Rowley Shoals. However, Scott Reef is the most extensively affected of these by the worst coral bleaching in northern Australian waters in recent history. This coral bleaching occurred in the southern hemisphere summer period of 2015, following coral bleaching in 1998 during which “up to 80 per cent of Scott Reef died” but from which the reef did recover in the subsequent 10–15 years.[3] Nevertheless, given continuing and measurable climate change and the “direct correlation between increased temperatures and coral bleaching”, the consequent increasing frequency of coral bleaching warrants concern that Scott Reef may not recover and survive.[3] Location and DescriptionEach of the reefs rises steeply from the seabed {{convert|400|-|500|m|ft}} below. Much of the reef area dries at low tide, but besides Sandy Islet of Scott Reef South, there are only a few rocks and sandbanks above the high water mark.
