The Great Barrier Reef is the largest barrier reef in the world and it’s a United Nations World Heritage Site; therefore, it is important that you are aware of how to protect this reef. Sam Ironside, Wildlife Care Keeper in the Australasia Pavilion, is here to help you understand how she cares for the live corals and fish from the Great Barrier Reef to show you how sensitive they are to changes in the environment. She also discusses with me how Climate Change, Tourism, and the Marine Aquarium Industry can affect the health of the reef.
