What is the length and area of the Great Barrier Reef?
Figures vary, but according to the Australian Institute of Marine Science, the Great Barrier Reef is approximately 2,300km long. It is located in the Coral Sea and lies parallel to the coast of Queensland. It is actually a series of reefs and atolls, with its northern end just south of Papua New Guinea, and its southern end near Lady Elliott Island, northeast of the city of Bundaberg. This is the equivalent of about 1,430 miles.
Australia has almost one-fifth of the world's reef area and most is located in the Great Barrier Reef, off the eastern coast. The Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area, which comprises more than just the coral reefs, atolls and islands of the Great Barrier Reef, covers around 348,000 sq km (134,363 sq miles) while the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park itself covers around 344,400 sq km.
How long ago did the Great Barrier Reef begin to form?
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.

What cities are near The Great Barrier Reef?
Because the Great Barrier Reef extends for 2000 km up the Queensland coast, there are several cities close to the reef. A large city which is closest to where the reef comes in nearest the coast is Cairns. Townsville is a large city along the coast, but the reef is not as accessible and close to shore from there. The southern end of the Great Barrier Reef is around 75km northwest of the port city of Gladstone. Brisbane is the nearest capital city to the Reef, but it is about 530km from the southern end. Contrary to popular overseas opinion, Sydney is nowhere near the Great Barrier Reef, as it is 930 kilometres south of Brisbane.

Is the Great Barrier Reef shrinking?
Australia's Great Barrier Reef could lose 95 percent of its living coral by 2050 should ocean temperatures increase by the 1.5 degrees Celsius projected by climate scientists.
While the Great Barrier Reef is one of the world's healthiest reefs, coral reefs are particularly fragile ecosystems, partly due to their sensitivity to water temperature. When corals are physiologically stressed -- as is the case when water temperatures are elevated -- they may lose much of the their symbiotic algae, an event known as "bleaching." Corals can recover from short-term bleaching, but prolonged bleaching can cause irreversible damage and subsequent death.
Can you use the Great Barrier Reef sustainably?
The vast majority of the Great Barrier Reef is in Australian waters, so it is managed by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority. A Zoning Plan covers the whole Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, and this plan determines where particular activities are permitted or not permitted. The plan also allows for certain areas of protection, while Plans of Management cover the more popular, high-use areas.
