Luxury RV motorhome hire.
About the Great Barrier Reef Australia
- The Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef system in
the world. It is found in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland,
Australia.
The Great Barrier Reef is the worlds largest living structure.
It is made up of around 2900 individual reefs and 900 islands.
The Great Barrier Reef is around 2600 kilometres (1616 miles)
in length. Astronauts can see the Great Barrier Reef from space.
Marine animals called coral play an important role in the formation
of the Great Barrier Reef. Coral create calcium carbonate which
forms a hard, shell-like skeleton. The Great Barrier Reef is
home to a wide range of life, including fish, sea turtles, giant
clam, seahorse, sea snakes, nudibranch, sea turtles, stingray,
sharks and many more. Over 1500 different species of fish live
in the Great Barrier Reef, including clownfish, star of the animated
film Finding Nemo. Whales, dolphins and dugong can also be seen
in the Great Barrier Reef. Climate change is perhaps the biggest
threat to the Great Barrier Reef. Warmer ocean temperatures
put stress on coral and lead to coral bleaching. The Great Barrier
Reef is a popular tourist destination with around 2 million visitors
every year. Courtesy www.sciencekids.co.nz.
