Summary "In waters where Australia meets the vast Pacific Ocean, grows the world's most famous reef. Schools of fish dart among the colourful corals, octopuses hide in dark corners and sharks patrol the clear waters above. Welcome to the Great Barrier Reef. In this illustrated guide, discover the plants and animals that live in this vast underwater treasure trove. Meet the scientists who have explored and studied its depths and learn about the history and culture of the Aboriginal people who have lived alongside this natural wonder for thousands of years." -- Back cover.
A renowned oceanographer introduces the Great Barrier Reef and its ecosystems, revealing how the reef came to be, its place in the world and what we can all do to help ensure that it is around for future generations to discover and enjoy.
