The Great Barrier Reef was not constructed by a "who", but by a "what". The Great Barrier Reef has been formed over thousands of years by coral polyps. 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. So this is the "what" that constructed the Great Barrier Reef.
