Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World and the largest living organism on earth visible from space. The collection of islands and coral reefs form a barrier along Queensland’s East Coast, hence the name The Great Barrier Reef. The complex eco system made up of hard and soft coral is spread over 344,000 square kilometres in total; equivalent to the size of countries like Japan or Italy. The Great Barrier Reef also serves as a habitat and food source for millions of unique and threatened marine species.
Scientists estimate that only 10% of the reef is ever visited by tourists while 90% remain untouched and undisturbed.
