🌊 Fun & Fascinating Facts About the Great Barrier Reef

🐠 The Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef system in the world—so big it can even be seen from space!

📏 It’s larger than the entire country of Italy and roughly the size of 70 million football fields.

🚀 Astronauts have reported seeing the reef from the moon—now that’s impressive!

🌿 Recycling and reducing waste are simple ways we can help protect natural wonders like the Great Barrier Reef and keep them healthy for future generations.

🐟 The reef is home to over 1,500 species of fish. The smallest is the tiny Stout Infant Fish, measuring just 7mm, while the largest is the gentle giant Whale Shark, which can grow up to 12 metres long!

⚠️ While stunning, the reef is also home to some of the ocean’s most dangerous creatures—including the Box Jellyfish, Blue-Ringed Octopus, and Stonefish. Always explore safely!

🎬 The famous Disney character Nemo is based on the Clownfish (or Anemone Fish), which live in the reef and love hiding in sea anemones—perfect for reef photos!

🌍 The Great Barrier Reef is often considered one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World, and it’s easy to see why with its vibrant marine life and stunning coral formations.
