The Great Barrier Reef is not the world’s longest coral reef, but it is also the largest natural structure on Earth built by living organisms. The reef is situated in the Coral Sea, stretching from Queensland to Bundaberg in Australia. The Great Barrier Reef consists of a network of about 2800 distinct reefs and some 900 islands. It harbors nearly 2000 species of fish – a number that is increasing with the discovery of new species every year. About 350 types of reef- building corals, 250 species of shrimps and 4000 kinds of mollusks also reside here there. Further, the reef is known for its wide range of sharks including gray reef sharks and silvertips.
