Great Barrier Reef

Summary Australia's Great Barrier Reef, off Queensland's Gold Coast, is the world's largest living structure. Surprisingly rich given the relative scarceness of nutrition, it's the fruit of intricately-close and complex collaboration between many species, first-most the corals and intertwined algae which build the actual reefs on the relatively shallow oceanic bedrock, which are periodically damaged by storms but rebuild or compensated for by new colonization. Around it abound fish, crustaceans, mollusks and their predators.
