This reef structure is composed of and built by billions
of tiny organisms, known as coral polyps.
It supports a wide diversity of life and was selected
as a World Heritage Site in 1981.
CNN labeled it one of the seven natural wonders of the
world. The Queensland National Trust named it a state
icon of Queensland.
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 fishing and tourism.
Other environmental pressures on the reef and its
ecosystem include runoff, climate change accompanied
by mass coral bleaching, and cyclic population
outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns starfish. According to
a study published on 1 October 2012 by the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the
reef has lost more than half its coral cover since 1985.
The reef is a very popular
destination for tourists,
especially in the Whitsunday
Islands and Cairns regions.
Tourism is an important
economic activity for the region,
generating $1 billion per year.

The islands of the reef are of two main types:
‘low islands’ and ‘continental islands’ . Low islands
are the coral cays formed by the accumulation of
sand and coral parts.
Examples are Green Island and Heron Island.
Continental islands are the inn: ; of the mainland that
have been cut off by the changes in the sea level, and
some lie quite close to the coast and rise from the
water. Most have coral reefs around and are thickly
vegetated. The shorelines of some continental islands
have white sandy beaches and others are bordered by
uangroves. The islands of the Whitsunday Group are
among these continental islands.
The waters of the Great Barrier Reef were
declared the Marine Park in 1975, helping to maintain
and conserve a unique and particxdarly beautiful
natural wonder. The Marine Park Authority limits
human Activity on the reef and allocates areas for a
specific range of activities. This careful management
of one of the wonders of the world will it will be hen1
for future generations to enjoy.

  • 4. This reef structure is composed of and built by billions of tiny organisms, known as coral polyps.
  • 5. It supports a wide diversity of life and was selected as a World Heritage Site in 1981.
  • 6. CNN labeled it one of the seven natural wonders of the world. The Queensland National Trust named it a state icon of Queensland.
  • 7. 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 fishing and tourism.
  • 8. Other environmental pressures on the reef and its ecosystem include runoff, climate change accompanied by mass coral bleaching, and cyclic population outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns starfish. According to a study published on 1 October 2012 by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the reef has lost more than half its coral cover since 1985.
  • 9. The reef is a very popular destination for tourists, especially in the Whitsunday Islands and Cairns regions. Tourism is an important economic activity for the region, generating $1 billion per year.

The islands of the reef are of two main types: ‘low islands’ and ‘continental islands’ . Low islands are the coral cays formed by the accumulation of sand and coral parts.
  • 14. Examples are Green Island and Heron Island. Continental islands are the inn: ; of the mainland that have been cut off by the changes in the sea level, and some lie quite close to the coast and rise from the water. Most have coral reefs around and are thickly vegetated. The shorelines of some continental islands have white sandy beaches and others are bordered by uangroves. The islands of the Whitsunday Group are among these continental islands. The waters of the Great Barrier Reef were declared the Marine Park in 1975, helping to maintain and conserve a unique and particxdarly beautiful natural wonder. The Marine Park Authority limits human Activity on the reef and allocates areas for a specific range of activities. This careful management of one of the wonders of the world will it will be hen1 for future generations to enjoy. (Taken from Aroiiml Anslrnll)
