More than two million people visit the reef each year, generating more than $AU2 billion in tourism dollars..:) hope that helped
The Great Barrier Reef brings in about $1 billion in revenue from tourism.
alot
No the great barrier reef is a natural phenomenon and protected as much as possible from interference by man.
How much rubbish is dumped in the great barrier reef each year? I'm not sure but it would be alot!
Pretty much all the fish from Disney Nemo, since it does take place in the Great Barrier reef.
Dugong feed on seagrass, which grows in meadows through sheltered coastal waters. The Great Barrier Reef has some of the Australia's best seagrass beds, covering as much as 13% of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park area.
Well, this question doesn't make much sense but Townsville is in Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef is off the coast of Queensland. And yes, both are in AUSTRALIA!
the Great Barrier Reef is approximately 500,000 years old. However The structure of the current reef is much younger. It is less than around 8,000 years old. So it is hard to put your finger on the exact age of the Great barrier reef. This is NOT the answer to the question...It is merely speculation.
Various marine creatures live in the Great Barrier Reef, including turtles, dugong, squid, octopus, sharks, a huge variety of fish, and an enormous range of sea plants.No person lives in the Great Barrier Reef, as it is primarily comprised of a series of coral reefs and atolls, and much of it is underwater. There are many islands which form part of the Great Barrier Reef, and these are inhabited by people of all sorts of races, usually caucasian.

There are many organisms throughout the oceans that coexist in a commensalistic relationship. Perhaps the most apparent would be that of anemones and anemone fish, which inhibit the BGR (Great Barrier Reef) by the thousands. As the GBR is simply a coral reef on an enormous scale, researching "coral reef commensalism" will provide much data regarding commensalism that is common on the GBR.
No. At the present moment, the Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef system. It is, however, shrinking, and it is unknown by how much, or whether this is permanent. Climate scientists who subscribe to the theory of anthropogenic global warming (i.e. caused by man's activities) predict that the Great Barrier Reef may lose up to 95% of its coral by the middle of the current century. Although the coastline parallel to the Great Barrier Reef has been settled by Europeans for less than 200 years, these scientists believe that the Reef has been shrinking by 20% every 100 years. Climate scientists who subscribe to the theory that global warming is cyclical perhaps have a less drastic view, as they believe that the coral will regenerate, as it has apparently done so in the past. There is evidence that the coral goes down much deeper than first thought, and this is an important factor in its regeneration. For this reason, it may well always be the largest barrier reef in the world.
