3. Six of the seven species of sea turtles in the world are found on the Reef: Green, Leatherback, Hawksbill, Loggerhead, Flatback and Olive Ridley. They become sexually mature at 30-50 years and can live for up to 100 years. Hatchlings are carried out to sea on ocean currents, and can travel thousands of miles around the ocean before they are fully grown. When they reach breeding age, they return to the area where they hatched to lay their own eggs.

4. Sea snakes Sea snakes have to come to the surface to breathe, but can spend up to 2 hours underwater between breaths. Sea snakes have to come to the surface to breathe, but can spend up to 2 hours underwater between breaths.

5. The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef system[1][2] composed of over 2,900 individual reefs[3] and 900 islands stretching for over 3,000 kilometres (1,600 mi) over an area of approximately 344,400 square kilometres (133,000 sq mi).[4][5] The reef is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland in northeast Australia.

6. The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from outer space and is the world's biggest single structure made by living organisms.[6] This reef structure is composed of and built by billions of tiny organisms, known as coral polyps.[7] The Great Barrier Reef supports a wide diversity of life, and was selected as a World Heritage Site in 1981.[1][2] CNN has labelled it one of the 7 natural wonders of the world.[8] The Queensland National Trust has named it a state icon of Queensland The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from outer space and is the world's biggest single structure made by living organisms.[6] This reef structure is composed of and built by billions of tiny organisms, known as coral polyps.[7] The Great Barrier Reef supports a wide diversity of life, and was selected as a World Heritage Site in 1981.[1][2] CNN has labelled it one of the 7 natural wonders of the world.[8] The Queensland National Trust has named it a state icon of Queensland outer space[6]coralpolyps[7] World Heritage Site[1][2]CNN7 natural wonders of the world[8] outer space[6]coralpolyps[7] World Heritage Site[1][2]CNN7 natural wonders of the world[8]

7. A large part of the reef is protected by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, which helps to limit the impact of human use, such as overfishing and tourism. Other environmental pressures to the reef and its ecosystem include water quality from runoff, climate change accompanied by mass coral bleaching, and cyclic outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns starfish A large part of the reef is protected by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, which helps to limit the impact of human use, such as overfishing and tourism.

8. The Great Barrier Reef has long been known to and utilised by the Aboriginal Australian and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and is an important part of local groups' cultures and spirituality. The reef is a very popular destination for tourists, especially in the Whitsundays and Cairns regions. Tourism is also an important economic activity for the region. Fishing also occurs in the region, generating AU$ 1 billion per year The Great Barrier Reef has long been known to and utilised by the Aboriginal Australian and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and is an important part of local groups' cultures and spirituality.

9. The Great Barrier Reef includes over 2,900 reefs, around 940 islands and cays, and stretches 2,300 kms along the Queensland coastline.

10. Location of aren

11. Reefs may be found as deep as 250 feet below the surface. Corals that grow below 150 feet don't make very good reef builders. There are three different groups in which all reefs are classified. The first reef type is called a Fringing reef. This reef is formed as coral grows in the shallow waters along the shores of land.

12. The top of the reef sits about two to three feet below sea level. The top of the reef sits about two to three feet below sea level. It forms a natural break water between the strong waves of the Pacific and the coast of Australia. The waters around it cover roughly 80,000 square miles, or 208,000 kilometers, an area than the state of Minnesota.
