Barrier Reef Blunderland

The Great Barrier Reef is the largest contiguous area of coral reefs in the world. . It is also among the most pristine of reefs areas. Distance, weather and a relatively small population mean most of the GBR is rarely even visited . Of the 2900 reefs in the complex only a few dozen are regularly used for tourism and the total annual fish harvest per Km2 is less than 1% of what reefs elsewhere commonly sustain.
