Great Barrier Reef
Great Barrier Reef
Limited Edition 10
The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest coral reef system — a 2,300-kilometre network of more than 3,000 reefs shaped by biology, geology, and ocean chemistry. At its core are coral polyps, tiny animals that build limestone structures and rely on symbiotic algae (Symbiodiniaceae) for energy through photosynthesis. This partnership allows corals to thrive in nutrient-poor tropical waters and supports an ecosystem with extraordinary biodiversity.
The Reef is constantly shaped by environmental forces: tides, cyclones, sediment flows, and the East Australian Current. These processes influence coral growth, water clarity, and the distribution of marine life, making the system highly dynamic.
But the Reef is also sensitive. Rising sea temperatures have increased the frequency of mass bleaching events, disrupting the coral–algae relationship and challenging the Reef’s long-term resilience. Ongoing scientific monitoring — from satellite imaging to underwater surveys — helps researchers understand how these changes unfold and which areas show signs of recovery.
In essence, the Great Barrier Reef is both a biological powerhouse and a fragile indicator of planetary health — a living system whose scientific story continues to evolve with every tide and season.
