GREAT CORAL REEF

THE GREAT CORAL REEF
COUNTRY: AUSTRALIA
PLACE: OFFSHORE, NORTH-EAST OF THE COUNTRY




The other place that I would suggest to the travelers when they wish to travel is The Great Barrier Reef which is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland in north-east Australia. 




The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from outer space and is the world's biggest single structure made by living organism where it was 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. Therefore, in order to preserve the reef, 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 and recognized by UNESCO.



As for the traveler information, the most popular tourist activities on the Great Barrier Reef are snorkeling  and diving so that they can also can see whales, dolphin turtles and many more marine species and the area is often enclosed by nets. While the outer part of the Great Barrier Reef is favoured for such activities, due to water quality. So, this place is very suitable for those who very love marine life.
