Location In the Coral Sea off the northeast coast of Australia 347,800 Kilometers in size That’s bigger than the UK, Holland, and Switzerland combined 2,300 Kilometers long Big enough to be seen from outer space

Interesting Numbers 2900 different reefs comprise to make The Great Barrier Reef 1500 different species of fish 4000 species of mollusks 500 species of sea weed 215 different types of birds 6 different types of sea turtles

Coral Bleaching Zooxanthellae (tiny algae) live in tissue of coral These Zooxanthellae give the coral its color and energy to grow When water temperatures get too warm, coral release the Zooxanthellae The result is a bleached coral

Global Warming As the world overall temperature over the next several years is predicted to rise more and more coral reefs will die It has been said that humans are a great cause on global warming and indirectly killing beautiful reefs If temperatures continue to increase at the rate they are, all the coral in the world, as we know it, will likely perish.
