Lady Elliot Island

Just 0.01% of the world's population has dived on a coral reef. If we don't feel connected to our planet's natural wonder, can we ever feel moved to save it? The Great Barrier Reef is a vital part of the ocean's functioning ecosystem, it supports a richness of life equal to our rainforests. In fact, one quarter of the world's fish rely on coral reefs at one stage of their lives, and yet they are in danger. If we can raise awareness of its beauty, and the pressures that threaten it, perhaps we can make a difference.
