Most people naturally think of coral when the word reef is mentioned. However, reefs come in many forms, and can be made of coral, rocks or even human made in the case of shipwrecks, jetties and artificial reefs.
Australia’s most famous reef is the incredible Great Barrier Reef. While this system of reefs is the longest and most diverse, it is not the only reef found in Australia, as the country is fringed by thousands of fascinating reefs. Reefs are found in both tropical and temperate regions, and the one thing they have in common is they create a wonderful home and habitat for an astonishing variety of marine life.
This guide takes an in-depth look at the magnificent reefs of Australia and the rich variety of marine life that rely on these reefs for their home, food and existence. Designed for anyone that is fascinated by the sea and its creatures, this guide looks at different reef types, threats to reefs, protecting reefs, enjoying reefs and the plants and animals that can be commonly seen on reefs around Australia.
