Location

The Great Barrier Reef is on the northeastern coast of Queensland, Australia. The reef is an underwater palace of coral and marine life. It is one of the biggest and probably the most diverse and famous coral reef on the planet. The Great Barrier Reef is a hot spot for scuba divers and snorkelers who travel across the globe the to swim in the reef. Part of the reason runoff goes straight to the reef is because of the hills from The Great Dividing Range in northeastern Australia. The hills provide a easy path for excess chemicals to run into the ocean.
