The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef system composed of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching for over 2,600 kilometres 1,600 mi over an area of approximately 344,400 square kilometres 133,000 sq mi. The reef is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland in northeast Australia. The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from outer space and is the world's biggest single structure made by living organisms. This reef structure is composed of and built by billions of tiny organisms, known as coral polyps. The Great Barrier Reef supports a wide diversity of life, and was selected as a World Heritage Site in 1981. CNN has labelled it one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. The Queensland National Trust has named it a state icon of Queensland. A large part of the reef is protected by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, which helps to limit the impact of human use, such as overfishing and tourism. Other environmental pressures to the reef and its ecosystem include water quality from runoff, climate change accompanied by mass coral bleaching, and cyclic outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns starfish.

Marine Tourism examines tourism in coastal and marine environments. Mark Orams provides an overview of the history, development and growth of marine tourism and describes the characteristics of marine tourists' and the "vendors" of these tourist activities.Marine Tourism includes case studies of specific types of tourism including: the cruise ship industry, whale and dolphin watching, yachting and the America's Cup, and maritime museums and festivals in locales including the Florida Keys and Hawaii, the Caribbean, New Zealand, and Australia's Great Barrier Reef. The book also examines tourism impacts on marine ecosystems and coastal communities and explores management techniques aimed at reducing negative impacts and maximizing the benefits of marine tourism.
Using international illustrations it draws on experience and good practice as they are being increasingly applied around the world in the late 1990s. In sharp contrast to the problem analysis approach adopted by so many authors to this subject, this book is focused on the pro-active role the private sector industry can play in partnership with the public sector to achieve solutions through its day-to-day operations and marketing, expecially in product enhancement and quality controls. Case material, contributed by senior professionals in the industry, include: *Kruger National Park, South Africa *Quicksilver Connections, Barrier Reef, Australia *Edinburgh's Old Town, UK *Ironbridge Gorge Museum, UK *Rutland Water, UK. Industry illustrations are drawn from British Airways, Grecotel, Inter-Continental Hotels and Resorts, the International Federation of Tour Operators, P&O and TUI. Professor Victor Middleton has had some thirty years' international experience of marketing practice covering most of the private and public sectors of travel and tourism. He holds appointments as Visiting Professor at Oxford Brookes University and University of Central Lancashire. Dr Rebecca Hawkins runs her own business specialising in environmental aspects of tourism projects and has undertaken a number of pioneering programmes in this role. She was Deputy Director of the World Travel and Tourism Environment Research Centre at Oxford Brookes University, where she worked with Victor Middleton.

I need names of coral that are in the great barrier reef
The reef contains over 2,900 reefs which includes 760 fringing reefs, and 300 coral cays.
Of the many hundreds of varieties of coral growing on the reef, the Staghorn ( antler type) is one of the most common.
As the world's largest coral reef ecosystem the Great Barrier
Reef is home to approximately:-
1,500 species of fish
400 species of corals
4,000 species of molluscs
500 species of seaweed
215 species of birds
16 species of sea snake
6 species of sea turtle
and some of the largest populations of dugong in the world.
WHAT TYPE OF CORAL IS THAT ?
Trying to identify particular species of coral is very difficult. What makes
it so difficult is that one type of coral may appear as a branching form in
calm water and look like a plate coral in another area. In many cases it is the
environmental conditions, such as wave action, light levels and the amount of
sediment in the water, that influence coral colony shape.
The easiest way to identify corals is by their appearance

Human-induced climate change has already led to substantial changes in a variety of ecosystems. Coral reefs are particularly vulnerable to rises in ocean temperature as a result of climate change because they already live near their thermal limits. However, we know little about the spatial patterns of temperature anomalies, areas of greater than usual temperature, which cause coral mortality and increased rates of coral disease. These gaps in knowledge make it difficult to design effective management strategies for mitigating the effects of ocean warming. My dissertation research uses a combination of a new satellite ocean temperature dataset, field surveys on coral health, and data on marine protected area (MPA) boundaries to analyze how ocean temperatures are affecting coral reef health at regional and global scales. I discovered that temperature anomalies are spatially and temporally variable from 1985-2005 even during El Nino events. They are also typically less than 50 km2, smaller than the resolution of many climate models. In addition, I found a strong relationship on the Great Barrier Reef between the number of temperature anomalies and the number of cases of white syndrome, a prevalent coral disease. Results from this study suggest that temperature anomalies are playing a major role in the observed decline of coral reefs over the last 30-40 years. This decline highlights the importance of determining whether MPAs, one of the most common management tools are effective in restoring coral cover. My analyses demonstrated that MPAs can confer some ecosystem resilience through fisheries management and land management practices at regional scales. Coral cover on reefs inside of MPAs did not change over time, while unprotected reefs experienced declines in coral cover. However, MPAs do not moderate the effect of thermal stress on corals or reduce coral decline at rates that can offset losses from thermal stress and other major natural and human-caused

I've never been on a holiday with my family outside of Australia and I've been to beautiful places (North QLD, Great Barrier Reef, Broome etc) but we want to go overseas to America and Hawaii. Mum and dad have already been to Hawaii and they told me it was beautiful but is America a good place to visit (in terms of the beach, weather, site-seeing). Will I be disapointed?
America is a massive place so you can't generalize it. If you come go to New York, Hawai, Miami, L.A, or San Fransico.... don't waste your time anywhere else.

Excerpt: Dead Calm is a 1989 thriller film starring Sam Neill, Nicole Kidman and Billy Zane. It was based on the 1963 novel of the same name by Charles Williams. The film was directed by Australian filmmaker Phillip Noyce and filmed in the Great Barrier Reef. A troubled couple, Australian naval officer John Ingram (Neill) and his wife Rae (Kidman), take a vacation on their yacht to recover over the death of their son from an automobile accident which Rae was involved in. John hopes that this will help Rae cope with the loss.

Suspicious of Hughie's story, John tries to convince the panicked Hughie to return with him to his sinking ship so they can confirm the deaths and salvage anything of use, but Hughie refuses to go back. John tells Rae to arm herself with the ship's rifle as he takes the schooner's dinghy back to the sinking ship while Hughie is resting. There he finds a video camera that gives evidence that Hughie and a friend had hired attractive but ill-prepared women as the ship's crew. Hughie's friend (who's idea it had been to hire the women as crew, and who had served as captain of the schooner with Hughie as first mate) had drowned in the bilge during the storm while trying to plug a stress fracture in the hull, leaving Hughie alone and unable to cope with the screams of the panicked women. Hughie had locked the women in a berth so that he wouldn't hear their screams, and the berth had subsequently flooded during the storm, drowning the women who had banged and clawed at the door begging to be freed as the space filled with water. When he awakes, Hughie, ... More:
