Great barrier reef

The Great Barrier Reef extends over 1,998 kilometers (1,242 miles) on the northeast coast of Australia. The reef is quite delicate, comprising the skeletons of generations of marine life that lived just under the water’s surface. The area is home to exotic coral, which is greatly affected by any human or natural interference and a wide variety of marine life.
