Beyond the Reef
The Great Barrier Reef is the largest and most complex reef system in the world, stretching more than 2000 km along the north-east coast of Australia. While most people are well acquainted with the Great Barrier Reef as one of the world’s great natural wonders, what they are not so familiar with is the importance of the surrounding bluewater zone to the reef's survival. Compared to the colourful and highly visible reef, these clear blue waters may look empty and barren, but on closer inspection they are teeming with life: plankton.
