The world's most biggest reef, The Great Barrier Reef. The big reef could be seen from outer space!
Sadly, the reef is slowly dying due to climate change caused by rising temperatures. Some animals like the jelly fish only lives in a certain temperature.
Littering will also cause the reef to be polluted. Animals such as sea turtle who had mistaken it to be food would suffocate when eating it. Such litter includes plastic bags and food packaging.
Climate change also increases coral bleaching (Coral bleaching is when coral polyps, shed the algae, that give their colour, is nescessary for the corals' survival. The coral then would be white.).
The water is also polluted by tropical floods which causes a decline in water quality.
What do YOU think we should do to stop this from happening?
