Landmarks - Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef, a World Heritage site, is a vast ecosystem home to diverse marine life. It attracts tourists, contributing significantly to Australia's economy. Conservation efforts, including fishing bans and marine sanctuaries, aim to protect the reef. Scientific research on the reef's organisms, like the cone shell, offers potential medical breakthroughs. However, pollution and the crown of thorns starfish pose threats. The Australian government coordinates conservation efforts to address these challenges and ensure the reef's future.
