The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef system.

The reef is
located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland, Australia.

The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from outer space and is the world's biggest
single structure made by living organisms.[7] This reef structure is composed of
and built by billions of tiny organisms, known as coral polyps.[8] It supports a
wide diversity of life and was selected as a World Heritage Site in 1981.[2][3] CNN
labelled it one of the seven natural wonders of the world.[9] The Queensland
National Trust named it a state icon of Queensland.[10]
