gets people heated the most, I think of climate change. Climate change has been a controversial topic for years, now being the 20th century, many people don’t know if climate change is real or not. Our largest living organism is the Great Barrier Reef, and it is being affected by warmer ocean waters. The ocean’s temperature is warming due to increases in sea surface temperature which has led to an increase…

Current issue in the Great Barrier Reef Great Barrier Reef (GBR) has been in the centre of topic for environmentalist for the past decades as it is the biggest and longest natural coral reef in the world. With thousands of exotic aquaculture species that are exclusive to that region only, it has become one of the heritage national marine parks in the world. However, with the mining boom in Queensland, more ports and industrial activities have been taken places along the coastal regions to boost…

What is a coral reef? Coral reefs are underwater ecosystems that are formed by many small animals called polyps, which through their ability to excrete calcium form the limestone skeleton that they live on. As coral reefs grow they can take on three structures fringing, barrier or atoll. The Reef located along the Queensland coastline is called the Great Barrier Reef as it is separated from the shoreline by a section of deep open water. Over many years hard coral polyps form reef structures that…

precious treasures could cease to exist as a sacrifice to find that balance. Corals reefs are living creatures and ecosystems that are located in shallow warm tropical oceans, which house hundreds of tropical species of fish. Unfortunately, tourism and human related climate change is killing reef’s around the world causing loss of habitat and pressuring species survival. Tourism has a number of factors that destroy the reefs such as chemical pollutants and seaweed infestation inflicting coral…

tube-shaped and soft. It is reddish brown - orange or brown in color with specific white spots present on their foot.

The corals that make reefs around the world may look like one giant organism but they’re actually some of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet, with many small features working together to support a variety of marine life. They are typically found in warm, shallow waters of tropical environments, especially in the Pacific Ocean. Thousands of jellyfish-like animals called polyps, connect together to form colonies. These colonies host algae, that provide corals with food, as well as their…

Introduction The causes for the Great Barrier Reef decline in Australia has been affected by natural and human faults. The natural effects of the decline are; water temperature changes, movements of the Earth’s crust (tectonic plates) and the new spreads of coral disease (1). As well as the anthropogenic stress, spotted on marine debris pollution, radiation and overpopulation (4). To understand the causes of species, decline better in the Great Barrier Reef, this research will be a case study…

current and future generations. The Great Barrier Reef (GBR), one of the most diverse and rich ecosystems in the world, is experiencing negative impacts from human activities, and if this continues, the habitat may cease to exist. Spanning almost 1,300 miles, the Great Barrier Reef extends along the coast of Australia and is home to millions of different of organisms, ranging from the smallest microorganisms to the largest species of fish and mammals. The reef includes over 400 species of coral,…

barrier reefs. Ninety-five percent of the park is water, and the shore of the bay is the location of an extensive mangrove forest. The park covers 172,971 acres (69,999 ha) and includes Elliott Key, the park's largest island and first of the true Florida Keys, formed from fossilized coral reef. The islands farther north in the park are transitional islands of coral and sand. The offshore portion of the park includes the northernmost region of the Florida Reef, one of the largest coral reefs in…
