Advantages - nice Disadvantages - tourism kills animals and the reef
There are no disadvantages to coral reef because, animals live with and if there was problem they would just have to die cause its everywhere
A bombora is a shallow isolated piece of reef located a distance offshore.
The closest major reef to Australia is the Great Barrier Reef which lies off the coast of Queensland. The northern end of the Great Barrier Reef is just a few hundred metres offshore.
A reef breakwater is a low-crested rubble-mound breakwater without the traditional multilayer cross section. This type of breakwater is little more than a homogeneous pile of stones with individual stone weights similar to those ordinarily used in the armor and first underlayer of conventional breakwaters. 2. In recent years a number of low-crested breakwaters have been built or considered for use at a variety of locations. Most of these structures are intended to protect a beach or reduce the cost of beach maintenance. Other applications include protecting water intakes for power plants and entrance channels for small-boat harbors and providing an alternative to revetment for stabilizing an eroding shoreline. In situations where only partial attenuation of waves on the leeside of a structure is required, or possibly even advantageous, a low-crested rubble-mound breakwater is a logical selection. Since the cost of a rubble-mound breakwater increases rapidly with the height of the crest, the economic advantage of a low-crested structure over a traditional breakwater that is infrequently overtopped is obvious. Because the reef breakwater represents the ultimate in design simplicity, it .could be the optimum structure for many situations. Unfortunately, the performance of lowcrested rubble-mound structures, particularly reef breakwaters, is not well documented or understood
A reef-like ridge of rock is called a "barrier reef." These are found offshore and run parallel to the coastline, providing a protective barrier from the open ocean.

Advantages of Australia's landforms include diverse ecosystems supporting unique flora and fauna, natural resources like minerals and energy reserves, and tourism attractions such as the Great Barrier Reef. Disadvantages may include challenges in agriculture due to arid conditions, vulnerability to natural disasters like bushfires and droughts, and limited arable land for cultivation.
An offshore coral reef created a large harbor, which made Toamasina an attractive location for a shipping port.

An offshore reef is a marine structure that is typically located away from the coastline, often submerged or partially submerged beneath the ocean's surface. These reefs are usually formed from coral or rock and provide vital habitats for a diverse array of marine life, including fish, invertebrates, and other organisms. Offshore reefs play a crucial role in maintaining marine biodiversity and can also serve as natural barriers against coastal erosion and storm surges. Additionally, they are often sites for recreational activities such as diving and fishing.
No. The Great Barrier Reef is located offshore, parallel to the Queensland coast, in the Coral Sea. Crocodiles do not live in the sea. However, crocodiles have been observed within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park area, although it is not considered to be their usual habitat. They have been observed basking on some of the coral islands and coral cays in the far north, but there are no crocodile breeding grounds on the reef.
