great barrier reef

Hi everyone i am now at the great barrier reef.



it is located off the coast of Queensland in Australia. did you know the great barrier reef is the biggest coral reef in the world, is a world heritage site and is one of the seven natural wonders of the world. The great barrier reef is made up of more then 2900 reefs. the water is warm here at 25 degrees Celsius, so i think i might have to go for a swim. theres 2 threats to the great barrier reef, the first threat is pollution but the biggest threat of all is climate change because as the ocean temperatures rise the coral starts to die when it gets to hot. thats all from the great barrier reef only two more destinations till my trip is over.
