Australia's Natural Wonder: The Great Barrier Reef

I learned that the Great Barrier Reef, is the world’s largest coral reef system. I also learned that it covers over 2300 kilometers, reaching from shallow areas to deep ocean waters. It is so big that it can be seen from outer space! This is bad for the health of the reef and its plants and animals. People are working hard to protect the Great Barrier Reef and the species that live there.
