The Great Barrier Reef is a highly complex natural ecosystem that covers 344,400 square kilometres and runs from near the tip of Queensland’s east coast to just north of Bundaberg at its south. This remarkable marine treasure is the largest coral reef system in the world, comprising more than 3,000 individual coral reefs and hundreds of continental islands and coral cays. While the reef itself is a living architecture of some 600 species of soft and hard corals, it is also home to a great abundance of marine life, which includes some 1,625 species of fish, 3,000 species of mollusks and a great diversity of sponges, anemones and the like.
