14.01.2022 GREAT BARRIER REEF FUN FACTS Apart from climate change and human impact, the reef's worst natural predator is the crown-of-thorns starfish.

13.01.2022 GREAT BARRIER REEF FUN FACTS In 2012 Google launched the very first underwater Street View on the Great Barrier Reef. The Underwater Earth project uses data and imagery from the ground-breaking Catlin Seaview Survey project a series of expeditions aiming to explore and survey the health of coral reefs worldwide so you can spy on the antics of the reef's inhabitants. It's no Big Brother UpLate, but interesting nonetheless. https://buff.ly/2oGZ9Kt
