Why is the Great Barrier Reef a natural wonder of the world?

4/12/2017

The Great Barrier Reef is one of the seven wonders of the natural world. It is larger than the Great Wall of China and the only living thing on earth visible from space. The great barrier reef is the world’s largest individual formation created by living organisms.

As the largest coral reef in the world, the Great Barrier Reef includes over 900 islands, over 2,900 separate reefs, and supports one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world.

The reef stretches 2,300 km along the north eastern coast of Australia and it covers over 133,000 square miles (344,000 sq km).

Time to explore!

The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from outer space and is the world's biggest single structure made by living organisms. This reef structure is composed of and built by billions of tiny organisms, known as coral polyps.

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.

The Great Barrier Reef has long been known to and used by the 
Aboriginal Australian and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and is an important part of local groups' cultures and spirituality.
​Nowadays the Reef is a very
 popular tourist destination especially from Cairns and the Whitsundays. 

Did you know that over two million people are visiting the Great Barrier Reef each year?? 
​Good connecting flights from Europe or America and cheap direct flights from Asia or Indonesia transfer hundreds of tourists to tropical Cairns everyday.

The barrier reef is a natural wonder because of its natural beauty and function in the sea. Not only is it a magnificent sight of its extravagant look, but it also possesses a great use for maintaining aquatic life. The sea is the source of abundant food and shelter for the fishes. Due to the great barrier reef, the sea creatures are able to find homes and food under the sea. We should take great care of this wonderful force of nature and make sure that it doesn't crumble.
