Are you allowed to fish at the Great Barrier Reef?

Some Great Barrier Reef snorkelling links below.in some places you can but it Can kill the coralsAnswer:I just came back from there and snorkeled for two weeks. The reef is quite far off shore so you have to use boats, traveling at top speed for an hour and a half, to get there. But the reef is shallow and is great fun. All boats are professionally run.


Why does pollution affect the Great Barrier Reef?

Overfishing is "catching too many fish". Because of this, it affects the Great Barrier Reef and other oceans because people fish so much that the fish cant sustain their population. Therefore the fish get fewer and fewer and that means no more fish in The reef.


How is the Great Barrier Reef damaged?

Fishing is dangerous for the Great Barrier Reef as many rare species of fish are being killed, which one day will become extinct. Furthermore, even just throwing litter into these waters will kill the habitats if the fish and will eventually. I was studying this topic last week in science and my science teacher told me that over the last 20 years, the reef size has gne down by 27% which is down the fact that people are damging it by pollution or fishing. Hope this helps!


What kinds of effects can harm the great barrier reef eally really badly?

Like most habitats, human activities (usually pollution, oil spills etc.) can harm them. This also applies to the Great Barrier Reef because water pollution can harm them. Things like oils spills, garbage disposal in water, and too much boating activities will pollute the water and poison the coral reefs. This will not just kill the coral reefs but also will kill the marine animals that where dependent of the reefs. Also the Great Barrier Reef is a popular tourist site so inconsiderate people may be "abusing" it. How are they "abusing" it? People who may be visiting this site may pull one out and such. I hoped this helped. If not please apologize, Im just a grade 9 student. Right?


Does pollution kill the coral reef?

Why is the Great Barrier Reef a barrier?

The great barrier reef is being destroyed becuase of global warming, pollution and other factors. Most of it is due to people though.Further information:The Great Barrier Reef is not actually almost being destroyed. It does not even have an official listing of endangered: but it is shrinking, and it is unknown by how much.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 then 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 done so in the past. Destruction and regeneration is all part of the reef's natural cycle. parts of tye northern Great Barrier Reef that have been damaged during a warming cycle have been found to regenerate after just twelve years.However, it should be noted that pollution and chemical runoff pose a very real threat to the reef. The water quality of the reef is affected by sediment and nutrients, and 80% of this is caused by cattle grazing on the land adjacent to the reef. Mud and chemical runoff tend to limit the sunlight that reaches the coral, causing it to die off, and they increase the macro-algae, which is a weed.Tourism is a threat to the reef, as tourist boats damage the delicate framework of the reef; fishing and pollution left behind by visitors also is a threat.

How many dangerous octopuses are there?

The most dangerous one would probably be the blue ringed octupus ,which I lives in the great barrier reef, because of its deadly poison. Giant Pacific octopuses might also be dangerous because they are known to kill sharks that they share tanks with in aquariums. The day octopus is almost as big as a giant octopus except that it can float in the ocean and attack divers.
