Where did Steve Irwin died?

Because coral died.
When did the Great Barrier Reef start to die?
This is difficult to determine. Although the coastline parallel to the Great Barrier Reef has been settled by Europeans for less then 200 years, climate scientists believe that the Reef has been shrinking by 20% every 100 years. On the other hand, there is evidence that the Great Barrier Reef undergoes a regular, natural cycle of dying off and regeneration. Researchers have discovered that coral reefs that have died off due to warming sea temperatures in Northern Queensland have regenerated within just twelve years.

What is the Great Barrier Reef made of?
The Great Barrier Reef was built by natural means, with years and years of living coral building upon the skeletons of other coral, but in conjunction with a particular type of algae. The corals that build reefs are not single animals. Coral is made up of colonies comprised of many individual animals called polyps, which join together. Coral polyps are a little like sea anemones, having tentacles that extend outwards, but they are not actually anemones. Corals which create coral reefs have a symbiotic relationship with algae known as zooxanthellae. This algae, which lives within the tissues of the coral, causes a photosynthetic reaction which enables the polyps to make skeletons about three times faster in the light than in the dark. This means the corals deposit skeletons faster than the environment can remove it, and these skeletons build upon each other over time, creating a coral reef.
