The Great Barrier Reef, off the northeastern coast of Queensland, Australia, is the world’s largest coral reef system, stretching over 2,300 kilometers and comprising more than 2,900 individual reefs. This vibrant ecosystem supports an extraordinary diversity of marine life, including over 1,500 fish species, 400 types of coral, and endangered species like sea turtles and dugongs. In 1981, it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its ecological and cultural significance, attracting millions of tourists annually. However, the reef faces severe threats from climate change, which causes coral bleaching due to rising ocean temperatures, as well as pollution and overfishing. Since the 1970s, these factors have damaged large sections of the reef. Conservation efforts, including marine protected areas and restoration projects, aim to preserve this natural wonder, but challenges persist in balancing human activity with environmental protection for future generations.
