5 urrey ockhounder ay he reat arrier eef ue to the fact am going to ustralia this summer, thought 'd submit an article pertaining to a potential site may see there. he reat arrier eef is the world's largest, most extensive coral reef system, composed of roughly, individual reefs and islands that stretch for, kilometres (, mi) and cover an area of approximately, km. he reef is located in the oral ea, off the coast of ueensland in northeast ustralia. large part of the reef is protected by the reat arrier eef arine ark. he reat arrier eef can be seen from outer space and is sometimes referred to as the single largest organism in the world. n reality, it is made up of many millions of tiny organisms, known as coral polyps. he reat arrier eef supports a wide diversity of life and was selected as a orld eritage ite in. has labeled it one of the seven natural wonders of the world. he ueensland ational rust has named it a state icon of ueensland. ontrary to popular belief, the reef is not a continuous barrier, but a broken maze of coral reefs and coral cays. t includes some, individual reefs, of which are fringing reefs. hese reefs range in size from less than one hectare to more than, hectares, and in shape from flat platform reefs to elongated ribbon reefs. he coral on the reef dates back to around million years old, and is thought to be about metres in some places. oral is made by olyps which are marine animals from the indaria family. hen the olyps die, their skeletons turn white (which is how you know if coral is alive or dead) and then more olyps grow on top of them. here is more than species of hard, reef-building corals. here are a few conditions that are required for healthy growth of coral. he water must be salty, clear and not lower in temperature than. degrees and lower in depth than metres. n amazing sight is seeing the spawning of the coral, which happens in late spring/early summer and is often called an 'underwater snowstorm'. here are nearly types of coral in the reef and plenty of other species of fish, clams and other sea creatures. he islands are also popular with sea birds and turtles. he colours of all of the coral and sea life is wonderful, from pinks and greens to deep blues and silvers. oday, the great majority of the arine ark is still relatively pristine when compared with coral reef systems elsewhere in the world. eferences: barrier reef.htm arrier eef ubmitted by: ade hrlein
