The Great Barrier Reef
The Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef system in the world, comprising over 3,000 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching for 1,600 miles (2,600 kilometers) over an area of approximately 133,000 square miles (344,400 square kilometers). The reef is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland in the warm, tropical waters of northeast Australia.
The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from outer space and is the world's largest single structure made by living organisms. The reef structure is composed of and built by billions of tiny life forms, known as coral polyps. The Great Barrier Reef supports an incredible diversity of life, and was selected as an UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981. CNN has chosen it one of the seven natural wonders of the world.
A large part of the reef is protected by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, which helps to limit the impact of human use, such as overfishing and tourism. Other environmental pressures to the reef and its ecosystem include water quality from runoff, climate change accompanied by mass coral bleaching, and cyclic outbreaks of the harmful crown-of-thorns starfish.
Truly Rare!
