| Eddy Reef, Great Barrier Reef, Australia |
Situated along the northeast coast of Australia, the Great Barrier Reef is the
most diverse collection of coral reef. Along with over 1500 species of fish and 4000 types of mollusc, the reef is also home to over 100 species of sharks and rays in addition to both the
threatened dugong and large green turtle. A World Heritage site since 1981, the Great Barrier Reef covers 340,000 km² and can be divided into the inner reef and outer reef. As a home for a large number of species, the real
threat of climate change on the reef has been a main focal point of research and conservation efforts.
If visiting a reef, I would not suggest a disposable underwater camera.
I hope I get to travel to Australia sometime soon and see all of this before the damage is too extensive. Just curious, why the suggestion about underwater disposables?

Picture quality, and also you aren't guaranteed that the pictures will develop. My sister unfortunately had that happen when she went to Belize.
DeleteTake me with you to Australia! I want to go again :)
