The Great Barrier Reef Makes An Amazing Recovery!


Beautiful Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef is one of the world's most beautiful sights and ecosystems.


It is found off of the coast of North-east Australia. The Great Barrier Reef is not only a beautiful ecosystem, it is also an ecosystem that has a wide variety of wonderful species of plants and animals. This ecosystem is world-famous for its beautiful coral reefs: the Great Barrier Reef has 400 different types of coral reefs, which means it has the largest collection of coral reefs in the world.


These coral reefs have an abundance of different animal species which live within the coral reefs. Species of animals that live within the Great Barrier Reef include the Dugong, the Giant Clam, Sharks, Octopus, Sea Turtles, Sea Snakes and Fish.


1,500 different species of fish live in the Great Barrier Reef.


The Great Barrier Reef is so abundant with life, and so beautiful, that it is named one of the seven natural wonders in the world.


Some of the other seven natural wonders of the world include the grand canyon, aurora borealis and mount Everest.


All of these seven natural wonders of the world are cool. With the Great Barrier Reef being part of this cool list, it is good to see that there is some new positive and welcoming news about the Great Barrier Reef - for years we have seen sad news about the Great Barrier Reef bleaching, however, there is good news, as it has been revealed that after years of it bleaching, it has started to regain its beautiful colours.


It has been reported that the Great Barrier Reef has regained its beautiful colours. This comes after years of bleaching in the Great Barrier Reef. The colours have come from what the Great Barrier Reef has released over two days - the Great Barrier Reef has seen a spawning event, where billions of new eggs have been released from the coral reefs, this, is what has given the reef is the colourful display.


This event offers hope that the Great Barrier Reef is bouncing back and recovering from its bleaching years. This coral spawning event usually happens every October. This years spawning event gives us hope that the Great Barrier Reef is recovering.


You can see what the spawning event looks like here...
