The largest living structure on the planet, stretching for over 2,300 kilometres from north Queensland to Fraser Island, it is visible even from space. It comprises more than 2,900 individual reefs composed of and built by billions of tiny organisms called coral polyps. An extra ordinary range of marine creatures is supported by the Reef's complex natural ecosystem, including 600 types of hard and soft corals,3,000 varieties of mollusc, 1,600 types of fish and more than 30 species of whales and dolphins.In 1981, the Great Barrier Reef was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.The greatest threat to the Reef is coral bleaching due to global warming, 50 per cent of coral across nearly two-thirds of the Reef.
