⏩ Listen to this Article: The Great Barrier of Reef ⏪



The Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef system in the world, composed of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching for over 2,300 kilometres over an area of approximately 344,400 square kilometres. The reef is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland, Australia.


The Great Barrier Reef is home to a wide variety of marine life, including over 1,500 species of fish, 411 species of hard coral, and 134 species of sharks and rays. The reef is also a major tourist destination, attracting over 1.8 million visitors each year.


The Great Barrier Reef is facing a number of threats, including climate change, pollution, and overfishing. Climate change is causing the water to become warmer and more acidic, which is causing the coral to bleach and die. Pollution from agricultural runoff and sewage is also damaging the reef. Overfishing is reducing the number of fish that help to keep the reef healthy.


There are a number of things that can be done to protect the Great Barrier Reef, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions, reducing pollution, and managing fishing practices. It is important to take action to protect this incredible natural wonder for future generations.
